1. Leverage your weekends

Weekends are underrated resources for maximizing travel. Starting your trip on a Friday afternoon after work and taking advantage of those extra days days is key!  Weekends are useful for extending longer vacations; a one week trip can easily be extended to nine days if the two weekends on each side are included. Don't waste those potential travel days!

2. Never waste a long weekend or a holiday!

Long weekends and holidays can be used to your advantage by incorporating these paid days off into your travel plans. Some holiday periods (Memorial or Labor weekends in the US for instance) usually offer 4-days off or more, and you can use long weekends throughout the year to extend your vacation. In the US, most states have long weekends a year, in addition to other holidays that may or may not fall alongside a weekend. Make sure you're never home for one of them!

3. Spread shorter trips throughout the year

If you want to travel more often, consider taking a few short trips throughout the year instead of one big trip. It might be more satisfying to spread your vacation days to include shorter trips, which means you can use more weekends to maximize your trips and also discover a variety of destinations instead of just visiting one place. This travel style is most effective for adventure lovers who are comfortable travelers already and do not mind venturing outside of their comfort zone for few days only.

4. Plan ahead to make your trips more efficient

Planning a trip can take some time, but anyone who has ever organized a trip abroad knows that this is an important part of a successful trip. People who put effort into planning their trip usually end up paying less and making their trip more efficient. By brainstorming ideas for the most suitable destinations based on the number of vacation days you have available, choosing specific travel goals and breaking those goals down into smaller tasks and setting reminders to make reservations will help you. It will be easier to make the most of the free time provided. Agencies like LUXIKA are dedicated to take the hassle away from you and plan the best trip for you considering your needs and availability.

5.Make traveling your top priority

If there's one thing we recommend to anyone who wants to travel more, it's to make travel the number one priority in your life. Prioritizing travel means saying no to other things that might affect your travel goals, like sacrificing restaurant meals and buying new clothes when you don't really need them. No one ever regrets spending money on travel - trust us on this one!
