Vision Board
A fun way to materialize your goals in every aspect of your life is to create a vision board. This activity will help you visualize where you are today in your life and where you want to be in a year in terms of travel. Focus on your top travel destination, find words to motivate you, and place it somewhere visible in your daily life. For example, placing it in the living room offers the opportunity for daily reinforcement for you and your entire family.

Here is what you need to do
- Make a list of all the stakeholders. Who is involved in the planning or traveling with you?
- Make a notation of travel time availability for all of the stakeholders. Are some people more flexible than others? If you are traveling alone, is your time flexible? Singles may benefit from high peak time travel to meet new people if desired.
- Challenges you may come across either financial or availability and how you plan to solve them.
- The comfort level of your accommodations. Are you open to only high luxury or are you willing to stay at a lower rating accommodation to either extend your travel time or lower your cost? Make a list of acceptable accommodations for everyone involved.
- Keep your completed rough draft in your journal.
