Whether you have a trip planned this year, or you are playing it safe and waiting until covid is truly and fully over, hopefully at some point you will have another trip that you are going to go all out for. After all this time off travelling, it is probably going to feel extra special to have that kind of experience. When you do go on a trip abroad, it is a good idea to try and make the most of it, and to approach it in a way which means that you will undeniably have a lot of amazing memories to look back on, share with others, and enjoy.
So how can you do that? In this post, we are going to take a look at the kind of approach that leads to this memory-making. As long as you are doing as much of the following as you can, you’ll find that you are creating a lot more memories on the whole.
Plan Amazing Things
Planning should always be a part of making memories on a trip, and the better you plan the easier this is going to be to make sure of. You might well want to not plan too much, as having too much of an itinerary can indeed get in the way of things a little. But as long as you are planning at least your major activities, you should find that you are liable to have a lot more fun while you are out there on your trip.
In order to make sure that you avoid the dreaded over-planning scenario, however, do make sure that you are allowing for plenty of impromptu time too. That way, you can do amazing things you have planned for, and amazing things you can’t even have imagined. In the process, you’ll have a great time and make lots of memories.
Do Something You Never Normally Would
Going away on holiday somewhere, or travelling around the world, is often a perfect excuse to place many of your preconceived notions and personal habits on hold. The more that you shake off your usual ways and try out new things, the more you are going to enjoy it, and the more memorable the whole experience is going to be too. So: if you really want to make memories on a trip abroad, do something you would never normally do while you are out there.
That can be anything you like, from skydiving to smoking a montecristo no 2, but the point is that it is something that you would normally consider to be a little whacky or out there. If you can spend some time doing that, you are going to find that it makes you have a much better time, and you will be able to look back on the trip with amazement at what you actually did. This is a great feeling, and it proves to yourself that you really did make the most of the trip, which is the main thing.
Book Yourself In To Stay At Incredible Venues
One part of any trip that is really worth saving up for is the venue. Just having somewhere amazing to stay can be a wonderful thing, and it’s something that you are going to want to think about in advance if you really want your trip to be as memorable as possible. Booking yourself in to stay at incredible venues means finding hotels and other forms of accommodation which are unique in some way, interesting, or appeal to some kind of interest or aesthetic concern you personally have.
In other words: it’s not just about finding five star hotels! You don’t have to spend all your money just to find a venue that will help you to create memories. It is often more about going for the smaller, quieter, charming villa than the huge over-the-top spa and hotel package type deal. It’s up to you, of course, but you should at least consider your options here, and bear in mind that thinking outside of the box can really help you to make many more memories. Who hasn’t had a magical time in a remote B&B somewhere just as much?
Record The Events
One simple and effective way to make sure that you are going to make a lot of memories on your next trip abroad is to ensure that you are recording it in some way or another. There are actually many ways to do this. Most people, of course, like to take a lot of photographs and videos, possibly uploading to social media as they go. But you could also choose to keep a diary or journal, a travel memoir which you can look back on in years to come. You’ll find this affords you a kind of memory of the experience that you can’t get in any other way, so a combination of this and photographs is probably the way to go.
Meet People
Travel should also be about meeting a lot of new people, and the more that you put yourself out there, the better. If you are someone who naturally likes to meet and speak to people, then all the better, but if you tend to struggle with it, bear in mind that you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. The point is merely to make sure that you at least say hello to a few people on your journey. You’ll be amazed at what this can do for your enjoyment of the trip, and for making memories, and it’s definitely something that is worth looking into and thinking about.
One way to approach this is to simply spend time doing things that you like to do. You’ll find you meet like-minded people there, and that they are going to speak to you. Over time this is going to make the trip so much better and more memorable, so that is definitely something to think about. You’ll find it makes all the difference.
