It’s not easy to choose the right destination. We could talk with our friends, read news papers, internet etc…but generally you’ll find only well known, crowded and “Tourists Shopper” destinations.
Step by step guide to find new destinations quickly
Let me share my experience:
“I live under the Etna in Sicily. When I’ve started my first blog on the Volcano Etna I started to search for new travel info. The results were amazing! I discovered a lot of new places I’ve never heard before.”
So…if I can’t know all the travel destinations in my home country, how can foreign travellers do?
Here 3 simple ways to find new destinations
- Emotional
- Scientifically
- Go Social
1. Emotional, getting the right inspiration
Emotional means finding destination while you are not searching for them.
- You can “steal” the ideas of other travellers by following forums or communities
- Take a Globe and choose a random point
- …Or use Random Country
- Go in a travel agency and grab as much as brochures possible. Use them to playing cards
- Sum your date of birth and see what’s the country code result. Mine is 27-April-1983 2+7+4+1+9+8+3=34 Spain
- Subscribe to Google sightseeing
- Be inspired by the bloggers
- Subscribe to See before you die place of the day
