4 Ways to Travel Without Leaving Home

4. Hang Out With Backpackers in Hostels

If you don’t feel comfortable having travelers staying at your place, go and grab them where they hang out!

I’ve worked in hotels before and I can tell you it is extremely rewarding — no person is the same and no story is ever the same. The crowd is super easy going, so considering everyone just wants to have a nice time, you’ll be more than welcome to join them.

Hopefully you’ll meet people from all over the world telling incredible tales from far flung places that will make that itch even more unbearable — and that’s a good thing! You’ll get inspiration and sometimes you might completely change your future travel plans because a guy from South Africa said you should go to Colombia.

What is travel anyway? Who says that the girl who spent a weekend away is more of a traveler than you are?

There is always something to learn everywhere you go. This hunger for exploration is a characteristic of any traveler, whether they’re on the road or not. If you can’t go to Thailand right now, nothing’s stopping you from eating a Pad Thai at the local restaurant.

Is it less authentic? Is it not the same? Who cares? What matters is the experience you’re having. If you truly have the traveler’s heart, you’re not really worried if you’re not visiting another a country.

You know that no matter where you are, you’re always traveling.
