#TRAVEL
I love
travelling a lot and experiencing new places- the new sights and sounds just
blow me away. But also, when travelling a lot over long distances, long journey
blues are inevitable and are always bound to happen. When they do; the journey
becomes boring and, both treacherous and torturous.
Company will always be fun to travel with. Travelling
with a company gives you a great avenue to share stories, make jokes and have
fun along the way. If you are travelling with one, be open and share your
stories and travelling experiences with the rest of the people.
Take snacks
with you. Snacks and drinks for the road take your mind away. They are
staple of long car journeys. You will not just pass time but also avoid hunger
since when you hungry; the journey tends to become long and a nightmare.
Another best
way to pass time is to listen to music. Carry your favorite music
gadget and ensure it is well charged and that you have the best genres of music-
that you love and enjoy and can groove to. Music videos are also entertaining;
so make sure you update your iPod; mp3 and the memory card on your phone and
that you have the best ear/head phones with you.
Videos too are a good pass time especially
if you have an iPad, galaxy tab, latest iPod or laptop. Stock up the latest
series you love or those classic movies you’d love to watch once again or those
you enjoy watching over and over again.
Carrying books
and magazines for the long trips is always advisable. Be it by air, or
road, novels and magazines take you to a fantasy world and make you forget you
are travelling.
When doing
self-drive; it is important to take relaxing short breaks so that you
are able to allow your body to relax before continuing with the journey. Nature
calls; stopping to stretch or even just lunch breaks are important and help you
psychologically.
Finally, take
pictures and lots of them. Carry along a camera and snap away
everything that you feel is attractive ad you’d want to remember. Latest phones
today have great camera apps and editing apps too; this will keep you busy.
Now, time to
hit the road! Remember feel free to share with us your travelling experiences
and what helps you to avoid long journey blues.
