However, financially a big trip is probably not in the cards in 2012. When the husband and I started dating we once talked about how we want to incorporate traveling into our lives. We decided that an every other year plan was a good one. Every other year we would go on a big trip, most likely abroad. The years in between we would do something local that would be less expensive. This gives us the chance to have enough money saved to enjoy our trips abroad while having the cash to pay them off.
We may have to stick to some local trips this year in order to give us time to build back up our savings. I'm already going to New Orleans for a conference and hopefully the husband will come along. He has a conference in Philadelphia as well. We also plan to go to Chicago and Toronto. If all goes well we will be able to save a ton of money so that we can do a really big trip again in 2013.
In the meantime I'll just dream about traveling to Brazil, or Cambodia, or Iceland, or Panama City, or ....

ReplyDeleteWhenever you make a plan for any kind of place, first of all you must have knowledge about that place regarding travel, accommodation etc.
ReplyDeleteAlternating between traveling abroad and traveling locally once a year is a great way to minimize your expenses. I know it may be hard for some, but if you are committed to a life of travel, you will always find out means to do so.
