How to Stay Excited About Your Travel Path (cont'd)

Last week I shared 5 tips to help you stay in love with traveling after a long, hard trip. Here are 6 more that I think will be useful:

6. Work on a post trip activity.

• Photobook
• Pinning a map
• Scrapbook
• Get a scrolling frame to keep memories going
• Hang pictures
• Add to a travel journal
• Edit your travel videos/photos

7. Lock in your travel experiences

Cook yourself a meal you learned about on your trip. Create a playlist of all of the songs you learned about along the way. Share both with friends.

8. Clean up physically and mentally.

Have a free day planned. Allow yourself to relax. If your trip has been a long one, treat yourself to a relaxing day to get your head back to reality. Could be drinks with the guys or girls or just cooking a meal at home and relaxing on the couch. This will keep you moving forward and looking forward to what is next, feeling fresh.

9. If possible, take time away from those you traveled with.

Introverts and extroverts have their strengths, but become ambiverted (enjoying solitude as well as time with friends) and you’ll have it made. The silence you hear when you are finally alone, really alone, is priceless.

10. Ignore your bag for a few days or a week.

Don’t unpack right when you get home. It’s the last thing you want to do so...make it the last thing you do.
