I have called my blog "The Travel Alarm" for one reason.
For quite some time now my travel alarm has been going nuts. It is like a constant in the back of my mind, an annoying sound which likes to create havoc in my real life. Oh the perils of constant wanting!
So I work full time, don't have spare cash & day dream about traveling every moment I get. I research, make plans, check travel websites, am subscribed to probably every website offering 'flights on sale' known to man (a daily reminder in my email of all the bargains I can't take advantage of!) but that's about as far as I get. Cue the violins.... :(
Not that I think I am the only person with this problem - I know many people with the travel alarm issue. I guess it's all about the way you choose to handle your alarm. Some people quit their job & head off into the blue yonder for a long term holiday. "I'll be fine, I will get a job there, I will backpack my way around, it'll be fun!" Very brave indeed.
I on the other hand do not have the balls anymore for such a crusade which is probably half my problem & the main reason I will probably never live elsewhere again, unless I win the lottery. Just thinking of doing such a thing sends me into cold sweats - my all too logical brain telling me I have worked too hard to get to where I am.....endless, annoying questions bouncing around. Boring but logical nonetheless.
So my point eventually is - my focus for this blog is on short holidays. Quick getaways designed to keep you sane from everyday routine. I have created it to discuss places I have been to & my opinion, special spots that make me feel good, places I wish/plan to go to & the list goes on. So, welcome - and enjoy!
