This is how you combine Wanderlust with your full time job!

Do you have the wanderlust gen, but don’t have an endless bank account? Join the club, because who doesn’t like to quit his or her job to travel the world? Unfortunately, we need that 9 to 5 job to pay for our trips. Always wanted to know how you can combine your full time job with traveling regurlaly? Today I will share my personal tips with you!

LONG WEEKENDS >> TRAVEL MORE WHILE WORKING A full time job >>

Not every trip has to be a couple of weeks. If you truly have wanderlust, you know how to make the best of your weekends. When you have a long weekend thanks to holidays, like Easter, you should definitely plan a small city trip. This way you don’t have to take days off, but you can still enjoy a relaxing trip!

holidays >> TRAVEL MORE WHILE WORKING A FULL TIME JOB >>

Spending holidays like Easter and Christmas with the family is nice, but if you really want to travel more, you should consider to spend these holidays abroad. I can definitly recommend traveling during Christmas; it doesn’t matter where you travel to, because you can feel the holiday spirit everywhere!

Workation >> TRAVEL MORE WHILE WORKING A FULL TIME JOB >>

Not that long ago I wrote a blog about the workation. The workation is all about combining business and pleasure, which even appears to make you more productive and creative. You do have to talk to your boss before you book a workation ;) !

work overtime >> TRAVEL MORE WHILE WORKING A FULL TIME JOB >>

Working overtime isn’t fun, but the benefits can be totally worth it. It might be that you get paid more or that you can take additional days off. Take a look at your contract or consult with your boss for the possibilities.

Flexible >> TRAVEL MORE WHILE WORKING A FULL TIME JOB >>

Be flexible and use every available moment for traveling. Planning ahead is always good in my opinion, but you should also be open to spontaneous trips. Trust me, a spontaneous weekend Paris is just so amazing ;) !
