“Traveling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller” Ibn Battuta
When I first read this quote, I couldn’t comprehend how a particular set of people can be so ardently in love with traveling, let alone take it up as a passion!
I mean, I too had a personal bucket list, but the desire was never as fierce as I witnessed in these wanderlusts. I always wondered if there was something that my bare eyes couldn’t see. But then, the turning point of my life came.
Once, while filling in for a colleague on a mundane meeting, a group of young men and women caught my attention. They were laughing and gushing so loudly, you could hear them from across the street. And suddenly, I felt green with envy. What on earth made them so happy? Their vibe was exultant!
However, they came and sat near me. As luck would have it, we got talking. It was only then that I discovered that they were solo travelers who had just met each other a couple of hours ago. It was hard to believe them at once. Though I never shared my wonderment, it left me feeling stupified. I wanted that exact contentment in my smile too. And I fell for the charm of traveling.
And even before I could realize, here, I am, sharing my true-blue tips with you all about how to keep up your travel desires also burning while you are busy running errands of daily life. Let’s get learning!
7 Creative Decor Ideas
An Illuminating Globe
Globes are an unpretentious portrayal of planet Earth. In one spin, it gives you a quick tour around the world and thus inspires you to be zealously dedicated to your travel goals.
You can always try and play with your creativity, especially when it comes to redefining your home decor. For instance, get a globe that mimics the lighting systems of various cities in the world. When the lights go off at night, this globe can double up as a night lamp while also reminding you of the endless beauty of this planet that is yet to be explored.
Pillows and bed covers
They say that you must get going to make your dreams come true. When you are peacefully asleep, the very essence of dreaming is felt. Think a little out of the box and choose beautiful sceneries as a nest for your dreams. Pick bedcovers and pillows that have an illustrated view of your most loved landscape. This will allow you to extend your dream-time and create an ambiance that will make you feel satiated. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
