Travelling to a new destination brings along certain expectations, always making you look forward to meeting new people, seeing fascinating sights and so much more. Aside from being a typical tourist who’s thrilled to know as much as possible about the new place they are visiting, you’ll probably also want to make this and every future one the one for the books. Luckily, we know exactly how you can turn the originally average trip into an iconic holiday.
Become familiar with the destination
First and foremost, you should do thorough research on the country you’re going to visit. Not only should you know more about the culture itself, but also about all the hidden gems and unusual routes that not many people take. That way you’ll be able to explore the destination to the tiniest detail and maybe discover something you’d remember forever. By becoming familiar with the place you’re going to visit, you can create a plan of touring, write down all the places you want to visit and put together a detailed itinerary that will allow you to make every second count.
Follow your instincts
Sometimes the best policy is to follow your gut, and you're guaranteed to have the best time. This is especially true if you can't decide on the place you want to travel to. With a myriad of popular destinations out there, it's sometimes crazy difficult to choose where you want to go. Whether because of the budget, or simply because you want to go to so many places all at once, picking out the next country you want to visit can become a nightmare, unless you listen to your instincts. Maybe you should just stop scrolling through your Instagram feed and step away from all the travel bloggers and listen to what your heart has to say. It'll certainly lead you into an unforgettable adventure.
Try something new
The best thing to make every trip memorable is to try things that you’ve never tried before. Have you always wanted to get a tattoo? Going on a trip is a perfect opportunity to get a traditional Japanese tattoo which will always remind you of your travels. You've never gone zip lining, bungy jumping or skydiving? Keep each activity for some of the future destinations and let them be reminders of how much fun you had on your journey. Taste traditional cuisine, learn the customs, and you'll remember every trip for the years to come.
Capture the moment
Living in the modern age makes it almost impossible not to have every single moment captured on your smartphone. However, while you can take spectacular photographs with your phone, it would still be a much better idea to invest in a professional camera and have everything recorded the right way. Photos on phones get lost easily, and you never know when your device will start bugging or fail to upload all the material online. Therefore, to avoid losing all of the precious moments, use a proper camera and capture everything without a fuss.
Put it on paper
While photographs and videos are one of the best ways to vividly capture all the iconic moments, writing your impressions and feelings down will make you remember them even better. That’s why you should always have a pen and a notebook within arm’s reach. Keeping the trip journal will allow you to write down all the emotions you’ve been experiencing at a certain point as well as all the little details that a photo couldn’t capture. A travel journal can also turn into a blog someday, giving you the opportunity to expand your writing while keeping all the important facts noted and fresh.
Interact with the locals
Nothing beats spending time with locals and experiencing the city, town or a village the way they do. Don’t be afraid to walk off the beaten path and visit some of the places where only locals can take you, and which are not listed in the travel brochures. Sometimes it’s good to get out of your comfort zone, and instead of driving a cab, step inside public transportation and explore the city differently. Forget about fancy restaurants that can break the bank, but eat outside at the traditional food corners and experience a taste of the local cuisine at the local places to truly immerse yourself into the country and its way of life.
Travelling is an amazing way to refresh and recharge your mind and body, while also learning so much along the way. Every trip can be unforgettable as long as you learn how to truly experience a new destination. Do the research on the new destination, step outside of your comfort zone, try new things, mingle with locals, capture every moment, write down all of your thoughts and impressions, and you’ll remember every future journey for many years.
