Friday Favorites: Resolve to Travel More (with Poe)

Diets come and go, but wanderlust is here to stay.

It’s not uncommon for people to set unrealistic expectations when making New Year’s resolutions, which likely contributes to most of them failing—and according to research, 90 percent of them do. So this year, let us help you keep just one: to travel well. Travel can make you happier, healthier, more creative, more relaxed, and more successful on the job. And, let’s face it, you’re not really going to give up wine, are you?

Here are a few other travel-related resolutions to make (or not, up to you, no pressure):

•Ease up on the to-do lists; savor spontaneity.

•Trips don’t plan themselves; travel advisors do. Use Poe Travel!

•Learn to unplug

•Engage with locals.

•Step outside your comfort zone.

•Take a solo trip.

•Take a multi-generational family trip.

•Travel in a more environmentally friendly way.

•Learn a new language.

•Get global entry!

•Check off a trip of a lifetime.

•Attend one of the world’s best festivals or cultural happenings.

•Take fewer but better photos.

•Have an experience instead of just sightseeing—i.e. make your own wine in France, fly fish in New Zealand, or surf in Hawaii.
