You will constantly keep on revisiting your last trip memories. The obsession to travel new places will keep strengthening. So, to control all these emotions and give some ease to your wanderlust, here are some tips that can surely help you.

Take a short day trip

According to a study a simple planning of a trip can boost your mind. Use your weekend for a day trip and design it in such a way that you can leave and come back on the same day. Start by selecting a park or a city within about an hour drive and do research on what shops and attractions it has to offers. Look for some exciting Friday celebrations, interesting shops, restaurants and cultural events. Once you are done with planning your trip, now it is time to pick a day and explore the new place.

Go through travel media

An inexpensive way of passing time between your next trip is to start reading travel books or magazines and watching travel related movies. By reading books you will get to know about the places that you have never explored and will find some suggestions as well as tips about traveling which will boost your travel energy. Another option is to watch some IMAX movies or documentaries; they will give you the feel as if you are actually visiting that place and you are at the middle of the action. This will give some ease to your wanderlust.

Staycation

Tired of driving? Take a staycation in your own town. We always think that we know the place very well, where we live, but actually we do miss out some great places. So let’s start the same research again, but apply it to nearby places, preferably at walking distance. Exploring locally will save your money as well as will give you a feeling of staying at home. There are many other options to relax during staycation, you can try shopping, or can watch movie in local theater or even go for swimming and spend your whole day just relaxing.

Plan a cultural day

For calming your wanderlust, plan a day to involve yourself totally in exploring a certain untouched corner of the place you’ve been living in since so long. Any location would work, be it the place you always wanted to visit or you were always curious about. Pick up some local music or movie set or browse some websites that focuses specifically on your area of interest. Plan the day and completely immerse yourself in the music, films and food. By doing this you will learn more about your region and will get a happy feeling of traveling without even leaving your home.
