What do you do each time you have a special occasion to celebrate? If you answered this question with a mental image of inviting friends, getting dressed, going out for drinks and then ending the night with a celebratory dinner, then it’s time for a change.
It’s time for you to replace the ‘drinks and dinner celebration’ with a ‘travel to a new destination celebration’. What celebration can beat exploring a new place, trying the local cuisine and ticking off a new destination off of your travel bucket list?
Travelling is the new form of celebration. In the busy lives we all lead today, we don’t realise the magic of travelling and how great it is for us. If you’re someone who cannot find a good enough reason to make travel plans, well then make your celebration a reason to travel.
Here’s a list of occasions that can make for a good enough celebratory travel reason. So get ready to pack your bags, because you’re celebrating:
Your Birthday
Imagine if every year on your birthday you decided to travel to a new, unknown place, either alone or with your friends. You’ll be able to explore so many places, try so many local cuisines, have that many souvenirs for your home and most of all, memories!
What’s better than celebrating your birthday by visiting a new city or country and ticking it off of your travel list. If you want to get your friends in on it too, then plan a small budget travel so that it’s not heavy on the pockets of you and your friends.
You can plan a hiking trip or a picnic to the countryside, anything, but travel, because there’s no greater joy than bringing in your birthday with a new place to remember it by.
Bachelor/ Bachelorette Parties
This is an event that comes in almost, every man and woman’s life. Hen and stag nights are a tradition, which is celebrated right before a man and a woman say ‘i do.’
The cliched ideas for stag do usually include a night of drinking, dancing and then passing out, not remembering most of how your last night of being single was celebrated. So ditch the old drinking and dancing stag/ hen do, for a destination celebration of the last lap of singlehood.
Since stag/ hen parties can cost a lot, you can plan your travels to a budget destination or take a road trip to some nearby place. The advantages of travelling with your friends for a stag/ hen do are many. Firstly, you get more than one night of celebration, you get many nights AND days of celebration.
You and your stag/ hen gang will bond really well over a couple of days of your stag/ hen do celebration. Last and the best, you get to tick off a place on your travel bucket list.
Professional Achievements
What do you do with the increment in your salary or your new promotion? You go out and travel! Now that you’re going to get that raise and that new cubicle in your office, celebrate by exploring a new place and edging it in your memory as the new place you explored when you got a promotion.
You can take your family members on a road trip and then break the good news to them once you reach the destination. It will double the excitement of the good news, when you’re travelling to a new place and experiencing new, exciting moments.
Conclusion
Travelling is one of the most rejuvenating, refreshing and exciting activities, so it is obviously the best way to make memories of a special occasion in your life with your loved ones. You can plan a small road trip or an extravagant international travel, whichever you want.
But one fact is for sure, once you’ve celebrated a special occasion with travel, you’ll never want to go back to the same old, dinner and drinks. So get your backpacks ready, if you haven’t already, because you’re about to experience a whole new trend of celebrations!
