Why You Should Spend Less And Travel More!

Ok, so you love to have the latest Michael Kors bag, but do you really need a 248^th bag in your closet?

That’s what usually happens; we start with a New Year’s resolution to save money for a Eurotrip, or a one-month long trip to Southeastern Asia, but then we end up using this money on shoes, bags and crazy nights out! (Guilty as charged!)

Too close to home? Travelling cannot really be compared to other experiences, every way you choose to look at it you can only find gratification, meaningfulness, rest and peace, an eye-opening experience- to say the least!

When we travel, especially outside our own country we get to touch, witness, see and hear the most astounding people and places. We get to truly know a culture different, but so much more attractive than our own.

What you can gain from travelling around the world

We get to see how others;lives, what they value and what they don’t. Ultimately we make comparisons and see how our life could be changed for the better. You put everything into perspective, your life so far, your values and beliefs, your whole mentality goes under scrutiny.

Travelling has so many advantages, getting out of one’s familiar places and into unknown cultures, becoming acquainted with different mentalities and amazingly strange customs, can only be magnificent!

Next time you got the urge to get yet another pair of skinny jeans, think twice, what if that money were invested in a trip? Paris, Milan? What about India and the Caribbean? There are so many places you could go, you should really have started ages ago!

Don’t panic though, it only takes a moment of seriousness and determination to finally commit to saving for travelling abroad.

Once you go out there once, you will get addicted.

You will find yourself obsessing over the unknown, the yet to be discovered, tasted and seen. The places to go and the sights you will see are infinite and of limitless beauty. Why make do with fleeting and not really deeply gratifying purchases, when you can buy yourself a truly lasting gift? That of going around the world and gathering, experiences, wisdom and pleasures.
