Expanding To Overseas Travel
It’s been awhile since I could think of anything to write. We completed the Beet Harvest and have not been adventuring for several months now. We started our blog to give ideas and tips to others for adventuring. But, what happens when you aren’t adventuring? What do you write about?
We haven’t been adventuring for months so I just let this blog sit. However, although we aren’t adventuring, we are always planning new adventures and adding to our Google Map. So, why not write about about some of our dreams?
We are currently dreaming about overseas travel. This is something completely new for us. Just like when we started thinking about full-time RVing, we had to learn more about overseas traveling.
Because we want to start traveling overseas before sickness or death, we read some books, blogs, and watched YouTube videos for ideas on oversea travel. We learnt and retained some tips and tricks for traveling overeas.
Our research suggested that we should download the Going app. So we did. The Going App (formerly known as Scott’s Cheap Flights) is well worth the annual subscription membership. Although there is a free version, it is not as indepth or easy to use as the subscription version. We are so happy we downloaded and used this app!
Although we use the app to be alerted for cheap flights and set up price alerts for specific places, we don’t book our flights through the app. We research through Google Flights to find the best dates for the deals. Then, we can book the flights directly on the airline’s website through Google Flights.
We have already saved more on airfare than the annual cost of the app for Going. It is an amazing app that we thoroughly enjoy. In fact, all the hours of dreaming of diffferent places to go was worth the annual subscription fee!
We have also added to our pile of toys to prepare for overseas travel. Because we don’t want to check bags, we purchased traveling backpacks. And, of course, we needed a luggage scale; plug in adapters for other countries; new beachy, relaxed clothing; and some other new toys.
A lot of the fun of adventuring is the planning itself. We are not so strict as to schedule every hour of the day or even every day itself. However, we love researching a place and checking out the cool things to see and do. The place can be a national park, state, or even a country.
Most of the fun of traveling and adventuring has been, for us, knowing ourselves and planning our adventures. Even if the trip itself has a few bumps, like a truck breaking down in the summer heat in Arizona, planning and adventuring is still amazing and fun. We hope our overseas traveling will be just as much fun as our RVing.
