To travel is to find comfort.
We travel to find a kind of comfort we simply cannot find at home, be it the calm sounding of the sea or the comfort of being in a market place surrounded by exotic fruits and the chatter of a foreign language.
Most often comfort can also be found in the things that accommodate your travel, like the luggage you carry or the comfortable hotel near the city centre, all the things that can ease your travel.
Whether you are a budget traveller or a luxury traveller, everyone wants to have a comfortable travel.
With the right amount of planning and research it is actually not difficult to avoid the frustration of being on the road. Here are five tips of achieving a comfortable travel:
1. Know your budget. For starter, you have to know your budget. This is the basic of all things, don't try to travel beyond the budget you have set. Your budget will decide how long you can stay at a destination and what type of accommodation you can afford. Your awareness of the budget you have will elevate your comfort.
Knowing a few tricks on getting the best deal may even save your budget, such as did you know that booking an accommodation on the same day through a mobile application is way cheaper than booking through an online travel agent. Keep an eye for these tricks as you may be able to use the saved money on something else during the trip.
2. Solo travel? Group travel? Understand that comfort in travelling comes from the choices you make. Don't force yourself to travel in a group when you rather travel alone and vice versa. Travelling has to be done according to your personality otherwise it just won't be as fun as you imagine.
3. Travel slow. Believe it or not when you're trying to cramp so many "to-do list" into your travel, you will feel pressured for trying to tick off all the things on the list. So, just forget the list for a while with only the outline in your mind then travel slow and enjoy the place you are in.
4. Don't compare yourself with others. A lot of travellers try to compare themselves with others or try to copy other traveller's way of travelling. Please don't do this. Travel in a way that is comfortable to you because remember it is YOU who are doing the travelling and not other people. Other people won't be there in your travel and so take a backpack if it ease your travel or stay at a resort if that will make you feel better, no one is judging you!
5. Don't sweat the small things in life. That's right.
There are plenty of guidebook and travel websites that give you tons of information of almost every place on earth that will help your travel. If you have a smart phone, download travel applications that can ease your travel so you can focus on the more important things. Application like HotelQuickly, can help you decide on your accommodation and will recommend the best deals there are in your destination.
The best way to have comfort in your travel is when you truly enjoy the travel itself. It all comes down to the options you choose.
Remember that travelling is personal, so make sure you do it your own way.
Now that's all settle, you can sit back, relax and enjoy!
