How to pick your travel destinations


If you’ve made a decision that you want to travel more this year, you’ve probably made a plan to start saving for your next trip, too. But how are you going to choose where to go? Budget and time will definitely play a part in the process of picking, and with so many places all over the world you would want to go everywhere. Unfortunately that isn’t always possible for everyone, so here are some tips to help you choose your travel destinations. 

Before we start there are some things you should think about, things like whether you prefer to go to the beach or mountain? With family, friends or solo? Budget travel or luxury travel? Adventure or relaxation?

Now that you’ve thought about those things let’s get to the main point 

Firstly - Be open-minded 
If you haven’t heard of a place or don’t know where it is exactly, but you’ve stumbled across cheap prices for flights, hotels, etc. then Google it, find as much as you can for that certain place and if it appeals to you book a flight, pack your bags and go have an adventure! 

Second - Don’t assume the capital is the “best” city 
Many countries have a “second city” where it’s often more cheap, beautiful, and overall a better alternative to the capital. 

Third - Ask the question “why”? 
Why do you want to travel? Is it to relax? Have fun with your family and/or friends? Take a break from work? Learn something new and explore different cultures? Or to get a tan? It’s much easier to decide WHERE you want to go, when you know WHY you’re going there. 

Fourth - Go Solo
If you’ve found a place you really want to go to, but nobody wants to come with, then go solo! don’t let this stop you. Sure, sometimes it can be better to have a companion to talk to and discuss your experience, but it will be worse not to go at all and miss out on an opportunity just because there wasn’t someone to come with you. 

And Fifth - There’s always a budget option
Don’t let the budget stop you from going somewhere. Even the most expensive countries have budget options, where you can stay at a hostel and cook your own food, public transport and city tours which are little to no money and many more. If you choose this option you will have to be creative though, but that makes it more fun!

The importance of listening to music

We all listen to music, it’s probably one of the things we can’t live without. For some it’s a way to run from their everyday life, for others it boosts their creativity level, and some use it as medicine. Music is an art, it produces beauty of forms, harmony and expression of emotion, it is a world within itself, and with a language we all understand. Today I’m going to show you some of the benefits that music has on us. 1. Music makes you happier - research has shown that when you listen to music you like, your brain releases dopamine - a “feel-good” neurotransmitter. So next time you’re feeling down and need an emotional boost, just listen to your favorite songs for around 15 minutes. 2. It lowers stress and improves health - feeling stressed? Well, listening to music you enjoy decreases the levels of cortisol in your body, which counteracts the effects of chronic stress. Since stress causes 60% of all our illnesses and disease. A study has shown that people wh...
