The Time to Travel: Now
When is the BEST time to travel?
The BEST time to travel is now – 2018!
What are you waiting for?
Don’t wait for tomorrow like Miss Scarlet from Gone with the Wind. Ah, Miss Scarlet! The Queen of putting things off…
There is always time to think about tomorrow…seek our dreams tomorrow…connect with our family tomorrow. We have excuses for why tomorrow would be better. But tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone.
Maybe today there is too much to travel…
There might be too much work, too much kid stuff, too “much” things to take care of, too much to squeeze in today. Just too much of everything! It is easy to feel overwhelmed.
Maybe today there is not enough to travel…
There might not be enough of something to make you feel like you shouldn’t travel. Not enough money, someone isn’t fit enough, someone isn’t skinny enough..
Your dreams can wait, right?
But, we aren’t promised tomorrow.
I bet you know someone who’s life was cut too short. Sadly, we all do. The circle of life includes the end of it. Time waits for no man and it won’t wait for you either.
Time to Travel: Why the Time is Now
Travel Time is Now: No regrets
At the end of life, patients in hospice care often have true clarity of thought. Looking back over their lives they speak of happiness and regrets. Â A common regret is wishing they had lived a life true to themselves.
Are you holding back? What would your TRUE self-like to do? Think about how you can capture that feeling in the life you have now. Consider truly inspirational travel for yourself and your family.
Travel Time is Now: Bond with friends and family
Feeling connected is important. Spending time together, talking, and making shared experiences to look back on and laugh about are truly some of life’s joys. Â Doing things together helps forge a tight bond, one that can stand the test of time. Knowing you’ll connect with your family in ways you haven’t before made for really inspired travel!
Travel Time is Now: YOLO (You Only Live Once)
While a lot of photos that use the hashtag YOLO are of people doing really stupid things, lol, the concept is really a good one. You really do only have one life and making it a great one is an excellent choice. Don’t forget the kids are watching you at every turn. Teach them it is important to plan for enjoying your life!
Enjoy the wonder of today. Soak it up. Seize the day! Â Make it the best journey ever! Science is even on your side as the health benefits of travel are many.

What great motivation and reminders we all need!!
Today is the day!!
Great and motivating post! I definitely follow the YOLO idea, I am not looking to far for future and I am just booking my holidays 🙂 Ive already plan some of my trips for 2018 but your recommendations are tempting 🙂 I would love to visit Iceland and Philippines!
The top 2 destinations you have listed are also the top 2 destinations on my list for 2018! Although it is not only Cebu that I want to visit, I am happy to go to ANY part of Philippines (Coron and El Nido look pretty awesome too). And Iceland has to happen this year, especially to see the Northern Lights. I completely agree with YOLO (you only live once) and the time to travel is NOW.
What fun! You are going to have an amazing 2018!!
Traveling is one of the best gift of life I can give to myself. I’m now a changed person for good. I’m glad I got the YOLO fever early. I’ve got 2018 all booked and will try my best to tick all boxes. Thanks for the inspiration.
I spent so long avoiding travel – I was so worried about not having the money or patience. What if I get into trouble or hate it? I wasted so many years but I am so glad I got over my fear and started Travel! It is always the right time!
This is some simple yet motivating advice. Where can I get more information about cheapest countries to visit in 2018?
