How to Have More Fun While Traveling 

Going on a trip is exciting, however, the journey to get to your destination can be pretty boring. Whether you are traveling by plane or taking a road trip, when you have nothing to do, it can be quite demotivating and even exhausting. 

Any trip typically takes a good few hours, either waiting around in the airport or getting stuck in traffic. However, you shouldn’t let your holiday excitement fade and change your mood into a negative one. Instead, you should make your journey more fun.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some top tips to keep the excitement at bay. 

#1 Take photos of all the places you see on your way 

One way to stay excited about your holiday is to take photos of all the places you see on your journey. More often than not, people have their eyes on their phones at all times and miss some great views. Keep your head up, and your phone or camera on you at all times, and see what beauty you can find on your route. If you are taking a road trip, you may even stop off at a few places along the way to break up the journey and make even more memories with the friends or family members that you are traveling with.  

#2 Play games 

Games are one of the best ways to keep yourself entertained on your long journeys. When you are having fun, the time will go much quicker and before you know it, you’ll be at your holiday destination. Not to mention you’ll be in a great mood. You can make up your own games or you bring along games that are suitable to be played in a car or on a plane. Some of the most popular games for long journeys are:

• The number plate game 
• I-spy 
• 21 questions 
• The memory game 
• Truth or dare 
• Card games 
• Karaoke 

If you choose to play games, make sure it is safe to do so. Decide before you leave whether the games are appropriate for your method of travel, for example, karaoke would be better on a road trip, and card games would be better played on an airplane. 

#3 Create a killer playlist

Whether you are going to listen to music alone with your headphones, or play it loud in the car for everyone to enjoy, a killer playlist is a key to a good journey. Put together a playlist of your favorite songs (and compile them with the favorite songs of your family and friends if they are going to listen to them) and include some upbeat songs. You can use a yt to mp3 converter to download your songs offline. This will help save your data, and ensure you can listen to your music in low signal areas, or on the airplane. Music is an excellent way to keep everyone happy and having fun.  

Extend the fun you have on your holiday by making your journey more enjoyable. Follow these top tips for a more entertaining journey.

#4 Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone 

Travelling always allows you to try something new and get out of your comfort zone. After all, you may as well stay home if you’re only going to do the same things you normally do. You will come across an array of best restaurants and activities or people during your travels, but rather than stick to what you know, take a deep dive into these things that might seem unfamiliar and even a little scary. You might be hesitant at first, but doing something different can make your travels more memorable.
