The Traveler
For the one who dreams of far-off places, loves to help plan the next family road trip, and can tell you the name of their favorite travel influencer on social media…
Explore your local area…
- Research your local area to see if there are some new places/attractions you haven’t visited yet
- Plan a family day out
- Use social media to document your experiences for others who may want to explore your local area
- Look on Pinterest for some fun day trips from your area
- Go geocaching
Create trip guides…
- Create trip guides (blog post, video, podcast, downloadable) for places you’ve been to share online
- Do some research and create trip guides for places you want to go someday
- Take virtual vacations to get some ideas from trip guides others have created
Plan a trip…
- Talk to parents about which trips on your bucket list might be feasible in the near future and ask if you can work on planning that trip (Remember, a not right now doesn’t mean never. Do your research for future trips, but be content with what is possible for your situation right now)
- Research transportation, lodging, food, activities to get an idea of costs involved
- Decide how much time you’d need for the trip
- Decide what the budget must be for the trip (Don’t forget tips, souvenirs, special clothing or other items needed for the trip)
- With permission and parents’ help, go ahead and start booking your trip if the time is right!
