Traveller’s Tales – Decisions, Decisions
You’ve decided to go on holidays. You’ve been thinking of flights and reminiscing about past adventures. The only problem is, you don’t know where to go. Do you visit a new country you’ve never seen before? Do you head back to your favourite resort in Mexico? Certainly, you could spin your finger on a globe and call the decision made, but if you have the same luck I did when I tried that, you’ll end up in the middle of the ocean. So then, how do you make that all-important decision?
I’m no stranger to the tough decision-making process of travel and the older I get, the harder the decision becomes. Restrictions and responsibilities put more pressure on the decision of where to go. And unfortunately for those of us who hate making decisions, it’s an unavoidable and rather important detail if you ever want to get away.
Here’s the thing; I’m not the most easygoing person when it comes to deciding on a holiday. I need to have an idea in my mind of the things I want to see and the type of holiday I want to have. I’m not getting on a flight to Tokyo because a friend of mine said it was cool. I have a bucket list and it’s a long one. So, how do I decide which things to cross off first? How do I decide what kind of holiday I want to have?
I used to spend a lot of time researching different cities, countries and famous monuments, organizing trips to hit as many as I could. However, the limited cash flow kept me contained and made sure each holiday I did go on was carefully considered.
