Being stuck indoors during CDC-mandated quarantines has spurred an epidemic of stir-craziness. In these cases, social-distance-friendly employees may find themselves distracted at work, nostalgic for far-away locations, and full of dread some days at the mere thought of going through the motions for yet another week. The solution to your feelings of daily drudgery? Take a trip, of course.

Despite the obvious and welcome answer to work-related burnout, many argue that cashing in their vacation-day collection borders the impossible during the hustle-and-bustle of Q1. Others express concern over leaving separation-anxiety-ridden pets behind or spending a sizable chunk of change on dog boarding services. The issue could also be a matter of financing the trip. How are you supposed to pay for a trip in this economy? The list of excuses goes on.

Regardless of your apprehensions, there have never been more reasons to hit the road. Travel can be easier than you think when approached correctly. Not to mention, the temporary financial setback is well-worth the life-enriching experiences travel offers. If venturing outside of your hometown bubble clears the top of your wishlist, read on for five ways to travel more this coming year.  

Apply for a travel job

If the desk job has run its course and you're seeking a more permanent way to travel, look no further than traveling jobs. These careers can be a good fit for people of all types of vocations looking to build their resume and travel the country or even the world. 

Many travel jobs, specifically in the healthcare field, are great for those seeking generous benefits and a wide range of location options. If you're serious about pursuing one of these positions, start with a Google search for something like “travel CNA jobs near me” to begin your research. Then you'll be one step closer to great benefits, endless travel, and career growth.

Try shorter weekend trips

One of the best ways to scratch your itch to travel is by embarking on trips for the weekend. If possible, take a Friday or a Monday off work and hit the road for a long weekend road trip. Whether you are single, in a partnership, or traveling with a family, a weekend getaway can temporarily relieve cubicle jitters. If you are a fan of the outdoors, hiking or camping trips are a great way to spend the weekend and unplug. These trips also have the added benefit of being a typically inexpensive way to travel. 

Follow travel blogs

Travel blogs are overflowing with articles full of travel hacks, advice, recommendations, dos-and-don'ts, and seasoned travelers' all-time-favorites. If you keep up with specific travel companies on social media, you may occasionally see deals for their product, which can help you travel on a budget. Travel blog pages can also help you find destination inspiration for your travels if you are unsure where to begin. 

Search for cheap flights

If you have your sights set internationally, your adventure will almost certainly require air travel. Jetting from terminal-to-terminal can be expensive for many folks, even to the point of becoming prohibitive for those bitten by the travel bug. 

Nowadays, there are several ways to find cheap domestic and international flights out of airports from coast to coast. For example, apps such as Skyguide and Hitlist are an invaluable resource for travel enthusiasts on the hunt for cheap flights. Another way to find inexpensive plane tickets is by signing up for an email subscription service, such as Scotts Cheap Flights. These organizations will email you occasionally with never-before-seen flight deals that may be difficult to attain otherwise.  

Prioritize your travels

Only harboring the desire to travel isn't a powerful enough force to propel your passport stamp collection to new heights. Seasoned travelers will tell you that committing to a life of regular travel requires certain sacrifices. You may have to scrape together your loose pennies, live a more minimalist lifestyle, and confront scheduling conflicts that may arise. If you're ready to commit to a life full of travels, be sure to make your global adventures a priority, not just a pipe dream.
