Book a hiking trip
Hiking offers you a way to explore different areas, it gets you active, there are many routes that you can take and you can do it with your friends and family members. You could take on Santiago Ways Camino de Santiago or you could arrange to do your own hiking trip. The prices of a hiking trip vary depending on the location you would like to visit and the length of time you are travelling. Hiking is something different to do and you’ll get to travel to places that are not possible unless on the hike. Our tip, don’t forget to bring a camera!
Book a ski trip
Take on the slopes and book a skiing or snowboarding holiday. There are plenty of destinations that you can visit, all offering their own unique benefits. Chamonix is beautiful but can be expensive, whilst some areas in France can be more affordable. Most slopes will be graded allowing all levels of skiers to enjoy. If you are a complete beginner you can always book lessons on your holiday or try some dry slopes at home to get the hang of things.
Book a diving trip
Have you considered booking a diving trip? Diving allows you to see a whole range of marine life as well as relax on white sandy beaches during your downtime. There are a whole plethora of diving places that you can visit from Queensland in Australia to Barbados in the Caribbean or Alcudia in Majorca. The weather will vary during the year, so make sure you research this before committing to a certain location.
Book a surfing trip
Enjoy a challenging trip away, surfing the waves, trying to complete more difficult ones as the trip goes on. You’ll meet like-minded people and get to experience destinations that you may have never visited before. Most destinations will offer lessons if you are new to surfing as well as group trips for experienced surfers. Just like skiing, you may find with a little research there are places at your home destination that offer lessons that you can do before your holiday. Why not convince your friends and get them to join you in some lessons and the holiday?

Do you work remotely? Are you a digital nomad/blogger etc? You need to be insured too.
I use SafetyWing for my digital nomad insurance. It covers me while I live overseas. It's just $10 a week, and it's amazing! No upfront fees, you just pay week by week, and you can sign up just for a week if you want, then switch it off and on whenever. You can read my review here, and you can sign-up here!
As you know, blogging changed my life. I left Ireland broke, with no plan, with just a one-way ticket to Thailand and no money. Since then, I started a blog, then a digital media company, I’ve made more than $1,500,000 USD, bought 4 properties and visited (almost) every country in the world. And I did it all from my laptop as I travel the world and live my dream.
