Recently I have been travelling a lot

Moving forward with this one is quite interesting because I have recently travelled a lot because of my work. If you read my articles regularly, you must be familiar with how I have changed my city to chase my goals. And so far, everything is going smooth, as I mentioned those things in my previous blogs.

So today I have decided to share my recent travelling experience with all of you because I used to love travelling due to the thrill and adventure of knowing new people, cities and conditions you face while travelling.

I used to wait for the opportunities to travel more than anything, And recently, I am getting a lot of them. And now I feel kind of sick of travelling.

Why?

Honestly, I don’t know the explanation behind this. Still, I feel like now I am tired of travelling because travelling involves a lot of headaches; not many people realise this except the travel vloggers/bloggers because they know the mess behind the travelling and the chaos.

Every day you’re travelling to a different city, eating their cuisine, watching different people, and your mind is constantly telling don’t trust people; otherwise, you might end up in a situation. Lol.

I know it might sound funny, but this happens when you travel. Your brain cells are more active than usual and consume more energy than ever because you know people these days.

You can’t trust everyone; as I mentioned in my blog, I started living alone to chase my goals.

Your luggage seems like you’re carrying the entire world in your bags, and it’s too heavy to lift after some time. The whole travelling things started becomes a problem when your stomach is too sensitive and fails to handle different cuisines of different cities.

You can guess what happens when your stomach is not supportive. It’s the highest priority problem in this world because once your belly is messed up, you can’t think properly; you keep searching for comfort (toilet, in other words) and try different soft drinks to keep sh*t in place. Lol.

So you need your belly to function if you want your travelling to be smooth. Otherwise, your entire excitement with turn into dullness in just a few seconds.

Apart from the belly problem, it would be best to have a proper plan before starting your journey.

Why is a plan so crucial for a journey?

It’s fundamental and essential for your journey because planning allows you to look into your funds and decide things accordingly.

Many Travellers don’t plan their journey, and they mess up funds and get stuck into other problems.

If you have decided to travel, you must check everything online about that place, cuisines, places for travel, transport, and other things that you’re going to purchase or engage with.

Why?

Because if you go without preparation, you increase the chances of being theft, or you might end up purchasing and eating wrong, which might ruin your entire journey.

Furthermore, you need to ensure that your road map should be pre-planned for your journey. Like, how you’re going to travel through that city.

You want to take city buses, cabs, or local rickshaws, whatever it is, you need to keep the probability of everything according to your needs because that’s how you get the idea of funds that you’re going to spend in the city.

As your journey start, you also need a backup plan too.

What backup plan?

A backup plan is a standard set of measures that you keep in your mind when anything goes wrong and doesn’t happen according to your plan A.

When plan A fails at some point, you need an imidate replacement because you don’t want people to know that you lost your way in the city, where everything is unknown to you.

In situations like these, you always act like you are from the city, like a local. Because losing your way in an unknown city can be dangerous, to avoid that, you need to just search for any nearby governmental organisation and reach there or get into a mall and sit quietly and think and then take further steps.

All these things are very important when you’re travelling alone because one wrong signal can totally mess up things for you. And you are well aware of people these days; they are always looking for new people to cheat.

So — it’s better to have a decent plan before you pack your bags.

What else is important for travelling alone?

I think alone travellers must keep talking with people while travelling on the train or any transport they are taking.

Suppose you’re travelling on the train, talk to people who are travelling with you, ask them about the place and try to get a little info that you’ll need during your travels.

Having a little conversation about the place helps you figure out things. And people tell you a lot about the area, and you might get to know the local fair prices for the items. Knowing the local prices is essential because people always increase their prices by seeing new faces.

Also — make sure not to reveal too much information about yourself to strangers, only the essential things.

Only try to make conversation with the people travelling with their families and all because you can trust a person with a family more than a normal stranger, there may be a chance he might not trust you, lol.

Overall you need to be alert and keep noticing things because not everywhere you will find frauds but being alert gives you an advantage.

Conclusion;

As every mother always reminds me before seeing you off — Never eat, and drink from someone else hand while you’re travelling. Also, never keep your hand out of the window — it might cost you your hand. Lol.
