Traveller’s Notebook: How to make your travelling magical!

Travelling is the ultimate source of relaxation and tranquillity. It doesn’t matter either the destination is a nearby hill station or the peaks or vertical limit. Before starting this story, let’s turn on the music!

 

A night before, I was doing a research on my other article about exploring France. France got me so into it that I felt myself getting absorbed into the screen. After I was done with my work, I got up and started packing up my bag for the trip we had the next day. I picked up a pair of socks, my cosmetics bag, travel journal, teabags, camera, headphones, mobile charger, power bank, toothbrush and a pack of mint chewing gums and popped them all inside my cute sparkling bag.

I woke up early in the morning so that my daily routine of workout might not get disturbed and after 20 minutes of morning exercise and yoga, I was all ready to go. We bought snacks from the nearby grocery store and started our journey. I turned on the music and popped my headphones inside my tiny ears. All of a sudden things started to fascinate me like never before. I was lost in a fairytale and this was the magical time when I hit upon many ideas to have a great time at the hill station we were going to visit.

We had a beautiful time over there and when I got home, I jotted down the main points in my notebook that I am now going to share with you guys about how to make your trip a magical one. Here are some ideas that you should definitely give a try whenever you go out next time.

 

1. Add travelling music to your playlist:

Before stepping into the campervan, make sure you have accurate travelling music in your playlist. Remember that music is the food of souls and you would never want your soul to starve the whole time.

 

2. Load your Backpack with Travelling Essentials:

Make a list of all the travelling essentials that vary as per the type of place you are going to visit. A camera, travelling journal, teabags, my watch, compass, money, mobile phone and its charger, power bank, headphones, cosmetics bag, sunblock and a good book to read are my travelling essentials. Do tell me about your travelling essentials in the comments down below!

 

Bringing colours to your travelling journal:

With the start of your journey, collect minute information and details like random addresses, station names, stranger friends contact details, your new friends and companions, your train’s arrival and departure time, your feelings and expectations, dreams and desires, beautiful scenes and horrible experiences, to dos and not to dos tips, preserving the picturesque beauty of the sceneries and aqua skies by clicking mini pictures from your camera.

 

Nature Photography:

Try to capture the beautiful picturesque that mother Earth reflects in those faraway fairy meadows. You don’t need to have a professional camera for this, a mini digital camera is fair enough even your mobile phones will work wonders in this task. Capturing the beauty of nature is actually for preserving those beautiful moments in your mind forever so that you can cherish those moments of relaxation and beauty whenever you feel like going there.

 

“I saw the clouds forming from the heart of meadows and then getting the perfect fluff and sponginess. They rose up and treaded elegantly, kissing the mighty mountains a soft goodbye.”

 

Try all the Specialities of that Area:

The specialities of Murree hills are fresh coconut, ripe cherries and roasted corn cob. I tried them all and took pictures of them as well. I can still feel the plumpness of those cherries, a fresh splash of coconut water and crispy aroma of roasted corn whenever I look at the pictures.

 

Visit one posh and one local restaurant in that area:

Binaries are always beautiful and you get a lot to debate topics as well. We can always go to an expensive restaurant but always remember that the local restaurant is the real taste of any area. It makes you feel like you have completely indulged in that place.

 

Visit any nearby cafe or club:

Rave is always a great idea at night when it comes to travelling with friends. It takes you deep into the valleys of delight and ecstasy. For lovebirds, this is a must to do!

 

Buy the floral accessories of that area:

Every area has its special accessory like daisy tiaras, rose bracelets, leafy baskets and many others. I bought the daisy tiaras for me and my sister. We also took pretty pictures wearing them. It was such a fun seeing everyone wearing the same tiaras.

 

Explore and mark the places you want to go:

A night is the best time to take a break from the noise and revive the silence. Before sleeping, mark the places you want to visit and learn about the routes and roads. Do not forget to have a warm cup of tea while exploring all the special places that you don’t want to miss in your travelling journal.

 

 

Visit all the monuments and historical places:

Monuments and historical places are the heritage of every place. They are the only death that can communicate with you, can speak and tell their story. Never miss the monuments whenever you are travelling.

 

 

Don’t forget yourself:

Don’t forget yourself! Take fancy and weird pictures and post them on social media because nature is for everyone <3

 

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post. Keep travelling, shining and inspiring me 🙂
