    Learn To Find Yourself On Your Travels

    People travel for a variety of reasons. Some want to escape the mad rush of urban life. Others are tired of feeling trapped in a stuffy office and dead-end job. Many more still, are eager to travel to find themselves. When you explore the world and journey to new places, it is possible that you find a piece of yourself that was always there and you perhaps never even new existed. Of course, to do this, you need to make sure that you are traveling the right way. It’s important that you don’t take the typical route to traveling because that road is too heavily walked. The footprints there are so deep, it’s impossible not to follow them. You need to set your own path.

    Scary travel movies inspired by true events PART III

    When we think about scary travel movies, Eli Roth’s incredibly bloody horror movie Hostel is probably the first thing that pops into your head. But there are many more travel movies that are scarier simply because they are based on real stories. These aren’t the kind of stories about people getting slaughtered, these are the kind of stories that freak you out because you know someone lived it and has survived to tell the story. They’re about people surviving terrible accidents or situations. They’re freaked out by mother nature instead of zombies or murderers. Must watch for travelers, because who knows, you might pick up some survival skills! Somehow, after I watched the Shallows recently, I’m SO into this kind of thrillers, so I decided to collect a few recent ones I saw inspired by true events. And yes, I must admit, they do fuel my wanderlust, often they start in the most beautiful places like Mexico, Hawaii or Australia. Enjoy!

Sure, I’m all in for splurging every now. and then, but as a long term traveler you have to pick your favorites, you can’t do it every trip (unless you’re a millionaire, but I’m not).

Don’t miss out on fun experiences by avoiding these costly travel mistakes.

    Why vacation real estate can be great for both business and pleasure

    For most of us, having seasonal property is a bit of a pipe dream. We would all love to have a ‘holiday home’, but the expenses often mean that it stays just that: a pipe dream. However, have you ever thought of buying a vacation property and using it as a business venture?

    If you live the digital nomad lifestyle, it probably means you’re never in the same place for long.

    So if you could do with a little extra cash (who couldn’t, really!), investing in holiday property could provide you with a significant return. Then, when you are not renting it out, you have somewhere home-like to visit that enables you to spend time in a certain part of the world.

    Whether you choose to keep it just for yourself and family or whether you choose to make it into a rental, here are the top things you should look for in new real estate.
