What entices some of us to travel? We may not know the answer, but we do know who we are. However, some of us rarely or never travel because we lack someone to go with.

There are always group tours, but for those wishing for a different experience the options may seem daunting. My suggestion to you is go anyway. Perhaps Paris, Venice, or London has always been on your wish list? So many renown cities are accustomed to tourists, making your choice of activities plentiful and relatively easy to manage. Many offer inexpensive walking tours which are a great way to see interesting places and to meet fellow travelers. You might consider enrolling in a week long cooking, language, or art class. In fact the list is endless and can be tailored to anyone’s preferences.

If the quiet countryside is closer to your heart there are countless activities to find there too. Maybe finding a peaceful place to do some reading or writing, or taking some strolls is all you are looking for. There are beautiful oases throughout the lands.

If your budget and/or free time is requiring you to stay closer to home, do not fret. Contact a tourism office or chamber of commerce and discover the local treasures you have overlooked before.

Do not let the usual excuses hinder your desires. The world is almost at our fingertips. Accommodations, activities, and transportation can all be investigated with ease.

If you were born to travel, you know who you are.
