If you love travelling, your number one problem is probably trying to narrow down your ideas when it comes to which holiday you want to go on. The world is such a huge place and a lot of us are very limited in both funds to go travelling with and holiday days at work – which means that we really need to make our holiday count. One of the best ways to do that is by making sure that you keep moving during every holiday that you go on – what’s the point in spending two weeks in a villa in Spain if you’re desperately hungry to see the world? Here are some tips about how to get out there and make the most of the beautiful planet we live on…

First of all, there’s pretty much nothing fun about going on holiday if you spend the whole time feeling sick about your overdraft or dreading the credit card bills that will be awaiting you on your doormat when you get home. It’s important that you budget carefully when you’re going away, particularly if it isn’t all pre-booked and you’re going to be taking some chances when you’re away as you travel around. Make a daily budget to spend on food and accommodation – and remember that you should always leave some money over in case of emergencies. You might want to fly home quickly or escape an unpleasant hostel or get an expensive taxi home. Having some extra money means that you have the power to do exactly what you want when you want.

Finally, figure out how exactly you plan to capture the memories that you’ve made when you were away. A lot of people like to use paper journals – this means that you can stick in tickets and photographs that you’ve taken. You could also use your social media as a sort of journal by posting photos you’ve taken. Of course, taking photos is key to keeping memories close to your heart – but even more important are the moments when you’re not taking photographs and you’re focusing fully on the world around yourself. Those moments are what travelling is really all about.
