3 Ways Investing in Your Home Can Help to Enrich Your Travels

June 6, 2020

Travel is the kind of thing that appeals to almost everyone on a profoundly deep level – the desire to explore new horizons, gather new experiences, and enjoy the sensation of wanderlust fulfilled.

At the moment, however, the idea of travel is often expressed in a very particular way – namely, the growing popularity of the idea of becoming a “Digital Nomad” and remaining on the road more or less permanently without much, if any, of a home-base.

Here are just a few ways in which investing in your home – both in terms of financial investment, and a straightforward investment of time and attention – can help to enrich your travels.

By adding a sense of security – so that you can be more adventurous when you are out and about

One thing that often isn’t expressed very clearly in all those beautiful “van life” photos that you might have seen on social media, is that living a nomadic lifestyle – perpetually on the road – can actually be a pretty insecure and daunting lifestyle for a variety of different reasons.

For one thing, your options are limited at least as much as they are expanded – just in different ways. Instead of being able to necessarily throw yourself into your travels headfirst, for their own sake, you will have to begin factoring in a large number of logistical considerations that might previously not have registered.

Setting up a solid “home base” is a great way of adding an extra dimension of stability to your life, so that when you go travelling you can be as carefree as possible, knowing that you’ve always got a structured environment waiting for you when you need it.

By serving as an excellent place for expressing yourself and showcasing your souvenirs

House design it’s an art in and of itself, and setting up your home so as to be a good reflection of your interests and personality is just a really positive and uplifting experience, in general.

If you love to travel, however, it’s even more likely that you have a desire to express the different styles, ideas, and insights that you have acquired throughout your various adventures.

Having a well-established home waiting for you means you can effectively indulge in that type of self-expression – including showcasing any souvenirs you’ve decided to bring home with you.

By giving you something to look forward to when you return

One of the great but often unspoken benefits of travelling is actually the fact that when you return home, you will be able to greet your home with a new set of eyes, and a renewed gratitude for the simple comforts and familiar features that you have probably taken for granted in general.

Before you leave, it’s always a great idea to ensure your house is clean from top to bottom, giving you the chance to come home to a spotlessly clean home. There’s nothing worse than coming home to an untidy house so whether that means doing all of the washing or cleaning all of your skirting boards, the more you’re doing to keep your home clean while you’re gone the better.

Even if you become easily fed up with your home when you are trapped there for prolonged periods of time, it’s very likely that returning home after a great excursion will help you to experience a degree of gratitude and appreciation for the simple things in life that can be genuinely empowering.

If you've ever found yourself scrolling through Instagram and all can you see is rows and rows of 'perfect' photos of people travelling well don't worry, because that's definitely not what you're going to find here.I'm a true believer that life is what you make it and although I don't always have the best luck while travelling, it's the thing that fills me with joy. With lots of mistakes, mishaps and chaotic stories behind me, I thought here was the perfect place to share my stories (along with everything I've picked up along the way)
