Bucket list and go on adventures.

 

Hello and welcome back on my blog. Or if you are new here, hey welcome! Today I have a blog post for you all assigned to the topic traveling during the lockdown.

Do you want to know, how best to travel during this pandemic or how to discover the world in a safe way? Then this blog post is ideal for you.

We probably all know the feeling of booking a ticket and going as far away as possible. During this pandemic I found out how much I miss traveling. Although almost everything is closed and it is actually not yet safe to travel, I still found a way to go on an adventure and plan trips. How I did that, is exactly what I am going to share with you now.

BUCKETLIST

 

Yes, I started to make a bucket list. You might think a bucket list, what's fun about that? I'll explain it to you. By browsing the internet, books, magazines, videos and social media you will already come across the most special places. Maybe you will find a dream destination or that one place that you had no idea existed.

 

But how can you ensure that you really get the feeling that you want to visit these destinations? I have the answer for that. First make sure you sit down, have something to snack and drink and the search work can begin.

step 1) Have your equipment ready to start your research. For my example I will be using my laptop.  Go to YouTube and start with watching some cinematic travel videos. Choose the first 3 videos that attract you the most, but make sure you have still not visited one of these countries. This first step helps you with really getting in the travel mood.

 

Step 2) Now that you are in the travel mood and you already have watched some footage of different destinations, you go to the next step and that is on Instagram. Go to your explore page and type in something like #travel or a destination that you already have in mind, for example Australia. Now you can scroll through all kind of pictures, videos or even reels that are related to the topic that you have searched for. If you find a location that you really like write it down in your notes because you will need it later.

 

Step 3) okay, you have been scrolling for a while now and looking around on the explore page and you have found 5 destinations that really appeal to you. So now is the time to discover more of this destination. You can find the most special places through TripAdvisor; you can read reviews and when you have found that one nice spot you can post a doll via google maps and then you can virtually walk at that location. How cool is that? you are actually already at your location. I usually plan all my trips this way.

A bucket list is really an ideal activity that you can do during this pandemic. Plan your trips for when all borders will open again. And believe me you will visit completely different destinations if you normally will. Purely because you have now done all your research.

 

GO ON ADVENTURES

 

Did you know that you can still go on adventures? You will think yes bye ... But trust me I'm sure you haven't seen your own country quite yet. There are plenty of nice places where you have not yet been. Go on the internet and search for those hotspots and I will not believe you if you say you've seen it all. Plan a day with your friends or best friend and check out all the spots. You can of course also do this on your own.

Make it fun for yourself. There is so little we can do during this pandemic. Get out there and make it feel like you are on an adventure. I hope this blog post has benefited you. Try it out and let me know what you think. This was the post for this week. I'll be back next week with a brand-new post.
