New Year Resolutions for Travel Lovers in 2025

With this list of resolutions, you can easily move from a random ‘travel more’ goal to taking actionable steps that make a difference for you. Ready to dive in? Let’s go!

Explore continents you’ve never traveled

Resolve to explore continents you’ve never traveled to in 2025. Maybe you’ve been postponing that trip to Australia or skeptical about leaving your country for the warmer climes in Africa, here’s your sign to do this differently.

Sometimes the concerns that hold us back are in our heads. Once you’ve checked in with us as your trusted travel agent on what’s okay based on your safety concerns, the world is yours to explore. If you’re worried that your budget might be a constraint, talk to us about it and we’ll work you through the available options.

Travel solo or not

Depending on the travel habit you’re more prone to, make a resolve to do it differently now. For instance, if you’ve always loved to travel with friends, family, or colleagues but never alone, make a resolution to enjoy the thrills of doing more solo travels this new year.

And if traveling solo is more like your comfort zone, then resolve to see more places with a group of people. You can even get more daring, by deciding to travel with strangers rather than with familiar faces. This way, you’ll easily break out of your shell, get to meet new people, and create meaningful memories with others on your trips.

Explore Safari

Why limit yourself to video documentaries of wildlife when you can go on safari to experience it firsthand? With this travel resolution, you’ll experience the world on a different scale and appreciate the wonders of nature more than before. Of course, this doesn’t mean you’ll go hiking around the wilderness for the Big 7 on your own. However, you can expect some unforgettable pampering for many of the resorts on the wilderness trail.

With our expert services, we’ll book you an unforgettable safari trip to see some of the most thrilling wonders of nature.

Travel slow

This travel resolution isn’t particularly to tell you to be slow when traveling, what it means is to spend more time in places you visit rather than just going to places because you want to tick them off your list of places you visit. Like it’s often said, quality trumps quality, so if it’s best to travel to a location and get the most out of it, immerse yourself in the cultural, culinary, and geographical experience of the place.

That way you leave the location feeling like a brand-new person, due to the mix of travel experiences you’ve had. However, if you travel too fast, you might miss out on some of the most important experiences on the trip because you moved too soon.

Travel with your PTOs

Have you considered making a resolve to make the most of your Paid Time Off (P.T.O.) this new year? Why? Simple! You need it for your mental health! Leaving all those PTOs to go unused will leave you pushing your travel resolution until later. While it’s important to focus on work, because it funds the lifestyle of your dream, you still need to be intentional about blocking off days on your calendar for travel.

Doing this early in the year will help you to plan adequately. It also means you don’t have to limit yourself to high-peak seasons before you travel. So, take this little pledge to commit: “I will use my PTOs for travel without feeling guilty.’ Who knows? You might hit that burst of inspiration you need to move to the next place at work.

See your town like a tourist

If you’re one of those people who would rather globetrot than sightsee their locality, now is your chance to resolve to do things differently. Don’t get too familiar with your city that you’re now missing out on some of the experiences you should benefit from.

You can start with something as simple as visiting the parks in your town, going fine dining, or even exploring your local museum. You may be surprised how much you’re yet to discover where you live. And if you have picturesque hiking trails, or special natural wonders that you’re yet to explore, pick your calendar now and schedule your next adventure trip around the town.

Explore none popular destinations

Some destinations are hidden gems and the best-kept secret of a few, others are ignored just because they seem more casual compared to other top tourist destinations. Resolve to visit an unpopular destination just for the sake of it. It’s even more impressive because you know you won’t have to deal with other tourist crowds at such locations.

Feel free to explore new places, just because, not because that’s what seems trendy or attractive to everyone else. The good thing about this is that you’re more likely to discover hidden gems only known to the locals in these places.

Start a Travel Fund

If you’ve been putting off going to places you love due to budget constraints, this is the year to be intentional about saving up for your travel. Once you’ve determined how much it would cost to have the best adventure, don’t wait to have it in whole. Make a commitment to automate a part of your income towards saving for this purpose, and before you know it, you’ll hit your goal and be able to make that well-deserved trip.

Have a Staycation

Traveling isn’t only about seeing all the interesting places, sometimes it’s about discovering oneself too. Booking a staycation at a resort or hotel to be by yourself can be the most rewarding travel resolution you can make for yourself this year. Alone time spent in a different environment can be all the self-healing and refreshing that you need to hit hard at all the other goals you want to achieve this year.

Book first class or business class

How about making a resolution to book a class higher than you’ve often done for the sake of experiencing it? So, if traveling has always been about the destination and never really about the in-flight experience for you, how about making a commitment to start enjoying the in-flight experience now? Who knows, you might unlock a new side of you that you never knew existed. Thrilling, isn’t it?
