Adventure is a State of Mind
Changing lodging frequently can be exhausting. To decrease the stress in packing up and moving during your travels, consider building your trip around one or just a very small number (depending on the overall length of your trip) of “home” bases. You can pick a location that is central to a number of places you want to visit and take different day trips. By returning to the same hotel room, home rental, or hostel for multiple nights in a row, you not only do not have to repack your bags as often, but you get the chance to become familiar with a neighborhood and even return to a favorite restaurant or pub. Unless you’re the type of person who wants close access to the big-city nightlife, you can also make your home base in a small town that may be less touristy and less expensive while still being able to visit city and tourist hot spots during your day trips. Just make sure that the location you choose has public transportation during the times you will need it if you do not have your own car. It definitely won’t reduce your stress to find out that there are no trains to take you “home” until the next morning!
