Simple Luxuries To Bring With You On Short-Range Holidays

Travel has been tough for us this year with regular international lockdowns as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thankfully, however, traveling shorter distances and exploring our current surroundings more gives us the chance to enjoy a wider range of amazing, educational experiences. Which hopefully we can start doing again once lockdown 2 ends.

Sometimes, though, you’re just looking for comfort, and that can be quite alright too.

So, let’s say that you’re planning a few expeditions in your surrounding area, heading to small towns you haven’t visited, visiting a few friends, dropping in on family members or even enjoying a lovely road trip. How can you make that experience more enjoyable, and more comforting even in the midst of a tough year?

Well – there are a few implements you can bring with you to help the experience become enjoyable and relaxing, day after day. There’s no reason why 2020 should prevent you from enjoying safe, responsible travel, provided you’re following the advice of your public health authorities. Let us consider what this may mean in the long run:

Portable Speakers

A Portable speaker can help bring with you the vibe and aesthetic you most wish for on a short journey. Consider a road trip around your area, for instance, checking out the local sights. A beautiful speaker, connected to your Spotify or another streaming account, can play a wispy dreamy playlist filled with artists like HAIM, Electric Youth, and classics that you might find inspiring. Music has the power to bring us together, and there’s nothing like the beautiful background of the Earth as you lazily explore it to help give you a sense of time and place. For such a small, convenient implement, your speaker will certainly bring a lot of spirit to your adventure.

Luxury Toiletries

We all need to stay hygienic while on the road, no matter if we’re camping, in a camper van, checking out in small hotels or simply visiting friends. A few luxury toiletries and mini-conveniences can help you feel a little more together and upbeat despite the hardships of travel. Cocoa butter cream, moisturisers, dry shampoo and more can help you get some comfortable, enjoyable personal time while also not having to go without your beautiful implements. That’s a great thing to consider.

Comforting Keepsakes

A few keepsakes to bring with you can be a great idea, especially if they hold some kind of consistency from place to place. For instance, you might love to bring a leather bound, portable journal with you, writing and drawing in it when you get chance to better express your ideas and feel as though you’ve digested certain information from your environment. Writing a silly little poem when stopping in your road trip, drawing a church you come across, writing about a particularly nice meal you’ve eaten, these things help you document your approach. Keepsakes could also be a beautiful SLR camera, a jacket you keep close to hand, or whatever else helps you feel and express your identity as a traveler.

With this advice, we hope you can enhance your short-range holidays with a few essential items.
