If you want to travel more, then you must get out there and do it: travel. It's not as easy as it sounds, though. Timing, planning, and getting through those mental blocks often get in your way until you just put it off, again and again, until next year.
Then the cycle repeats and you see that one kid from high school on Instagram who has this really cool travel job and all their pictures give you serious FOMO...and then you realize that if they can do it, so can you!
