Be Inspired
Follow Instagram accounts that inspire you. Keep tabs on accounts that feature your “must see” destinations. Flip through travel magazines, imagine yourself in that dream spot you see on the glossy pages. Read blogs on your favorite spots to see one day.

Keep Travel Folk For Company
Surround yourself with people who also have the travel bug. Being around people, or better yet, in a relationship with someone who loves to travel will keep you on the path to reach your vacationing goals.
Make the Most of Long Weekends
There is a lot that can be done in a 3-4 day weekend. Take a flight to somewhere new or hop in the car and go for a drive and discover gems closer to home.
Leave A Suitcase Where You Can See It
With a suitcase stored away, it feels like it won’t be used for while. If your happen upon your suitcase often, you are more likely to make use of it.
Daydream
