• Many people want to travel better and even more.
  It's easier today because of the advancement of
  technology, airline tickets are cheaper than they
  used to be, travel blogs websites and books are
  readily available and more affordable, so what's
  your excuse for not being able to travel?
•  
• If you really want to travel, set some goals.
  Whatever it is your reason for wanting to travel,
  whether you just want to get with the fad, or you
  want to fill stamps on your passport, or the
  classic reason of seeing the culture and
  surroundings each new country has to offer, set
  your goals, and set them with quality.
• If you want quality travel tips, here is the Top
  5 we've gathered from www.wheretraveler.com.

Resolution 1 Stop overlooking nearby
destinations

• Traveling doesn't mean you have to have a
  passport, hop on a plane and get far away. You
  never know, but the next amazing place might be
  even in your own backyard (pun intended). There
  could be a nice zoo inside your city, a college
  campus or church with amazing architecture, and
  of course maybe a new restaurant down the block.
  It could also be another city that's next to
  yours, never considered by anyone as
  "travel-worthy" just because people are so used
  to seeing it. You must resolve to never again
  disregard the fact that any place, even the
  nearest one could be a destination for quality
  travel.

Resolution 2 Do one thing that scares you.

• This doesn't mean that 'one thing' has to be
  life-threatening. How could you travel then if
  you're dead? This just means taking a step
  forward in conquering your fears a.k.a. a
  culture's tradition like getting inked by a
  tribal elder in the Philippines or eating balut,
  a scrumptious delicacy also in the Philippines
  which isn't for the liking of everyone. Besides,
  travel really is about new experiences and
  becoming more open to what the world has to offer
  and just understanding our amazing planet.
  Travelling isn't really about moving from one
  place to another.

Resolution 3 Turn every trip into travel.

• We don't usually travel when we're on vacation,
  especially family trips. You don't usually
  explore because you're simply there because of
  the family. However, these overly familiar family
  trips can turn into travel if we just open
  ourselves up to new experiences and see the road
  ahead a little differently. Stick in an extra
  hour or two ahead or in between your trip and
  just...explore. Pull off the highway, gas up and
  check any local attraction that you haven't been
  to before that's along the way to your final
  destination. You can also try looking at any
  local flora or fauna and you'll be surprised at
  how diverse and blessed your country is.

Resolution 4 Try something new on each and every
trip.

• Not everything you try has to be something that
  you like. In line with Resolution 2, doing
  something that scares you, this will be less
  scary as it will just take you a little bit out
  of your comfort zone. This is part of travel -
  doing something new that you may or you may not
  like. Just make the most out of every destination
  and try everything new that you can. You will be
  bringing back less regrets and just new travel
  experiences. Hey, even something as mundane as
  saying "good morning" to the person next to you
  at the bus can be considered something new. Just
  try it!

Resolution 5 Go on at least one solo trip.

• This resolution has been mentioned in countless
  blogs and articles for 20-somethings. It is maybe
  considered a universal goal already. This is
  because something changes within you when you're
  flying solo, whether you're travelling or not. Of
  course, the change is more intense when
  travelling. You have to depend on nobody but
  yourself. You literally have to be a friend to
  yourself. You will experience and learn new
  things with and about yourself that you've never
  thought possible. It will be a life-changer and
  an eye-opener in all sorts of ways. This can also
  be freeing. You can literally try ANY thing that
  you want because who's there to stop you but
  yourself? But of course, to do this right, you
  have to be open to the world, respect people and
  each place's culture and just limit digital
  connections. Do it the old-fashioned way, ask
  strangers. You'll realize it can be more fun than
  it actually sounds.
• Now, let's travel!
