All In A Days Work

Who doesn’t like adventure? The thought of visiting a place which is off the radar and away from the prying eyes of people is always something which gets people excited. But in this day and age, when life is so busy and people don’t even get the time to talk to loved ones every day; where is the time for adventure? But should this be holding you back? We doubt!

With tons of affordable packages and companies like HotelsByDay offering day use hotels for last minute plans for a staycation; there is plenty of scope for people to just let themselves loose and spend some quality time alone in the lap of nature. So if are someone who had been holding themselves back since some time now; we are here with some cool ideas for your next adventure trip.

Conquer a Mountain

When it comes to taking a break, normally people think of visiting an adventure park or a popular tourist destination like a famous city such as Paris, London or New York. However, true adventure calls for doing something out of the ordinary, like conquering a mountain for example. And when we talk about a mountain it doesn’t really have to be something as huge as the Everest and neither do you need to be an expert mountaineer to do that. There are plenty of options on the table. Try Kilimanjaro or the Mount Fuji for example, as they are not only located at some of the most exquisite places on the planet, but the view is such; the memories of which will last a lifetime.

Visit a Country less Explored

You wouldn’t believe how amazingly beautiful countries such as Bhutan, Myanmar or Mongolia are often go under the radar. These countries have some of the most breathtaking views you are can lay your eyes on. Moreover, the exclusivity of such places means that you wouldn’t find a ton of people visiting these countries which means you get to spend more time alone in lap of nature. Our advice, take a break and try visiting countries which are less visited and have ample to offer when it comes to natural beauty.

Camping in the Wild

We see it in the movies all the time. People having a gala time by the campfire either by themselves or with their loved ones. But, the question is, have you ever tried doing that? If yes, you are rock and if your answer is no, then you are missing you on one of the finest things in life—camping out in the wilderness with not a stranger in sight. And it doesn’t take much to go camping, just a tent, some awesome food, a few other necessary things and you are done. Also, an idyllic location should definitely be on your checklist as that’s the most important thing isn’t it? Camping gives you the time to embrace the silence of nature and introspection which is something most of us never get the time for. Moreover, if you have kids; camping is a great way to introduce your little ones to nature and what it means to be one with it.

Don’t let life hold you back. Take some time out and head out to experience life from a different lens. We all need to work to survive and pay our bills. But just surviving isn’t living is it? So don’t hold yourself back and just live like nature intended us too.

Budget travel has made it far easier for the vast majority of us to see a lot more of the world. But, let’s face it, unless you are paying top dollar for a luxurious vacation, there is often the feeling that you are getting what you pay for. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.
In today’s guide, we’re going to take you through several ways that you can enjoy a more luxurious vacation – without spending a fortune. Let’s get started right away.

Cut out the travel

If you are planning on travelling to a far-flung destination, it’s going to cost a small fortune to get there. Unfortunately, there is no getting around the costs of flights and travel, as even flying half price can cost you a lot of money. Especially if you have children in tow. So, think about keeping things a lot more local. Domestic flights are far cheaper, and you can even get them free if you use a credit card that gives you air miles. Then, everything you save can be put towards treating yourself to a much more luxurious vacation than you can afford in another country.

Buy early

In general terms, the earlier you buy your vacation, the cheaper it will be. It is a rule that applies to everything, from booking your flight and hotel to finding visitor tours. You can even use apps such as Hotwire to book your car rentals a long time in advance of your trip. It’s normal for travel companies – and any other business connected with tourism – to offer early bird deals. It applies to budget travel and luxury holiday destinations, too.  And, the longer you leave it, the more you will pay.

Buy late

Another option is to be as flexible as possible and book at the last minute. Most luxury vacations will fill up quick – but there are always exceptions. If someone cancels their trip at the last minute, it’s possible to get enormous discounts on resorts and hotels that were out of your reach before.

Think about experiences rather than location

What makes a luxury vacation? For some, it is staying in the ultimate setting with everything they need a finger click away. But, there are other ways of looking at luxury, too. A beach hut on an empty Caribbean beach can be many people’s ideas of heaven, for example. Or, a log cabin in the Canadian Rockies might be someone else’s. The point is, sometimes the luxurious experience comes from within – not at one of the most expensive hotels in the world. Think about your interests and inspirations before booking, and with a little nous; you will find luxury for less.

As you can see, there are several ways of cutting back the costs of a luxury vacation. So, the next time you feel jealous of your neighbor’s trip away to a fabulous destination, think again. There might be a few smart ways you can enjoy that experience for half the price they paid.
