Adventure is a State of Mind

Consider spending more time at your destination. You can get to know an area better or you can check off several locations from your bucket list during the same trip by adding more days to the adventure. Many travelers, especially Americans, tend to take just a week (or less!), even if they’ve driven many miles or flown across an ocean to their destination, but transportation is often the biggest single expense in traveling. Once you’re there, if you have the time available because you’re retired, between jobs, can work remotely, or receive a healthy amount of vacation time, consider extending your trip for longer so as to maximize the per-day value of your transportation costs.

I want to give individuals the knowledge they need to actually make their travel dreams come true."
