How to learn to travel: 5 tips from Johan Idema
Gathered top tips from the author of our new book on how to make any trip truly memorable.
I. PLAN YOUR VACATION IN ADVANCE
“Well,” said Pooh, “I love most of all… a minute, just before you start eating honey, when it’s even more pleasant than later, when you’re already eating, but Pooh didn’t know what that minute was called.
A. A. Milne (translated by Boris Zakhoder)
If you want to learn how to travel, remember that waiting makes any pleasure brighter. Research has shown that we are often happier in the eight weeks leading up to our vacation than we are during the actual trip. After interviewing 1,500 people, the researchers found that planning or waiting alone can make you happier than the journey itself.
So you can enjoy your vacation before you go anywhere. How it works? When we have plans, pleasant expectations are born in us and our bodies produce the same “hormones of happiness” that are produced during the trip.
Children are gurus in the art of anticipation. They know how to give free rein to fantasy and get maximum emotions from their expectations.
As adults, we need to learn this all over again. But the work of the master is afraid: one has only to learn, and the anticipation is unlikely to ever let you down. After all, unlike the trip itself, everything here is completely under your control.
To enjoy waiting as long as possible, plan your vacation in advance. Talk more about the upcoming trip with colleagues, friends and relatives. And, of course, read about the place you are about to go, watch movies that have been filmed there, and try the local cuisine. A week before departure, choose an obvious place in your home and put things that you will take with you there. Every time you pass by, the promising sight of a stack of books for the holidays or the smell of sunblock will enthrall you.
Researcher Mark Miras compared anticipation to a treasure that you can always enjoy and draw strength from. “Anticipation is a reason to go beyond, to take a new step.” Perhaps anticipation is one of the deepest foundations of human existence.
If you can master this art, your vacation will bring you more pleasure. As is your life.
II. TALK TO THE LOCAL
Our world is so crowded with smartphones that casual conversations are almost on the verge of extinction. In trams, parks and cafes, many people prefer to look at the screen rather than communicate with others. This also affected our vacation, we interact less with local residents.
“I’d rather spend the whole day chatting with a security guard or a newspaper seller than staring at church ceilings,” remarked one travel writer. Experienced travelers often put communication with new people as one of the goals of the trip. They know that good memories depend on the people you meet, not on the number of cathedrals and museums you see. Remarkable acquaintances – this is what this or that place is remembered for a long time. So while you’re on vacation, remember that any conversation can be useful, no matter how trite or awkward it may start.
“People become happier when they talk to strangers, even if they are sure that nothing good will come of it,” Keo Stark writes in his book When Strangers Meet. Any communication can bring a good idea or give your day an unexpected continuation. How else can you find the secret garden in the yard or find out why all the cars in the city have even-numbered plates?
To start a conversation, you need to have the art of everyday chatter: be able to catch an eye, find an excuse for a conversation (maybe the simplest one), remember to joke and listen carefully. It is equally important to approach a stranger alone: any group, no matter how small, often interferes with one-on-one communication. If you’re traveling with friends, this can get awkward, so it’s a good idea to make arrangements in advance for you to spend some time on your own – it’s a good idea anyway (see tip 10).

III.
BRING ITEMS THAT ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE A SOUVENIR
The miniature Eiffel Tower from France and the Brandenburg Gate from Germany, matryoshka dolls from Russia and the Statue of Liberty from New York – the travel industry still firmly believes in cheap kitsch souvenirs. Most of us have outgrown miniature figurines, fridge magnets, “I ❤ something” mugs, and other junk that, ironically, often turns out to be made in China or Bangladesh. But do not underestimate the importance of souvenir (in French it means “remembrance”). Or, as writer Ashley Brilliant advises, “Keep souvenirs of the past, otherwise how will you prove that this was not all a dream?” Keep souvenirs in plain sight, put them on your bedside table or window sill, because like nothing else they preserve the memories of the trip and allow you to enjoy them longer.
What is a good souvenir? There is one indispensable effective method: to choose items that are not intended to become a souvenir. For a tourist, the simplest household items often contain something unusual, because they look a little different or work a little differently than the same items in his home.
That’s what turns the banal into something special. A handmade ceramic tray from Portugal or a rare potted succulent from Scandinavia can bring back good memories for years to come. Before you travel, take a look around your home and see what you’re missing so you know what to bring back from your trip.
Edible souvenirs are hard to miss. Popular local candies, cookies, and other treats are inexpensive and easy to find at your local supermarket (see tip 15). But Mother Nature herself often offers the best souvenirs: unusual flowers, twigs, sand, stones or insects are always free and available in abundance. This is what is considered common where you are, but will look exotic in your home. Get creative: bring a branch of eucalyptus for the bathroom, a collection of assorted mosses for the windowsill, or a dead bug that you place near the bathroom mirror.
Sometimes the smallest details play a decisive role in your memories. Try buying a cute box while on vacation and putting your entire mini-collection into it: branches from the park (this is just an example), candy wrappers, soap from the hotel, and a bill for your favorite dinner.
If these reminders give you pleasure, then you will enjoy your vacation twice.
IV. USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT
You certainly know this feeling: in the evening, you arrive in a city you have never been to, and the next morning you feel a little uncomfortable at breakfast. You don’t know what area you are in, how the city works in general, and what awaits you on the streets. You need to get the impression of the city as a whole, but you just don’t know how to do it. Instead, you go outside and look for the first must-see sights. As you jump from one to the other, you gradually develop a far from perfect idea of the city.
During our vacations, we often reduce cities to a series of sights and places that happen to catch our eye in between. But this is not fair: in fact, the cities are Gesamtwerke (German for “whole product”), which you must explore inside and out to appreciate the city. Plus, you only have one try to get a first impression.
In a new place, you are ready to be surprised by everything you see: the ardor of local residents, driving habits, bright historical facades of buildings, and even such trifles as a skillfully traced figure of a person at traffic lights. Not to use such moments is annoying. That is why the first acquaintance with the city should be thought out in advance and carefully.
There’s a great way to get a first impression, it’s called “public transport”. This is not a sightseeing bus, the route of which covers at best several tourist places. Better choose any city bus or tram line and ride the line to the end and back.
Sitting by the window, you can see the entire city at a comfortable pace and with enough stops to soak it all up. By choosing a longer route, you can see a cross section of the city, from the center to the outskirts. If you pass interesting places, write down the names of the stops so you know where to get off on the way back.
If public transport is not to your liking, then a taxi is also suitable for the first inspiring acquaintance.
Ask the driver to take you around the city so you can see how it works. It will cost you more than a bus ticket, but there will be more opportunities to get exactly what you need. Tell the driver what interests you in the first place, and he will adjust the route. Gliding through the streets to the music from the local radio station pouring out of the speakers, you can experience the happiest moments of being in a new city as soon as you are in it.
V. EXPLORE LOCAL SCENTS
“It only takes a drop of this oil, scented with sunscreen and sea air, to your pulsing points to quickly escape your worries. Close your eyes, inhale the scent and imagine the fluorescent office lights turning into sunbeams.”
Beauty editor, Marianna Mychaskiv, about Urban Decay’s Go Naked perfume oil
Spas are a source of inspiration for many perfumers. For example, Fleur de Portofino (“Flower from Portofino”) is marketed as “an escape to the Mediterranean”.
Or, say, the Big Sur Coastline (“Big Sur Coast”) “takes you on the last road trip along the coast of California.”
Why do popular holiday destinations smell so inspiring? Maybe it’s the unique smells that hover in the air, in the forest, by the sea or in the market? Yes, most likely, but no less important, the smells of travel are becoming inextricably associated with freedom and adventure. Only the sense of smell is directly connected with the brain, and with the same areas where our emotions are formed – the amygdala and the hippocampus. Therefore, smells are responsible for our most lasting memories and make an even stronger impression than sounds, images and words.
It turns out that the nose is the strongest memory. Knowledgeable people take this into account: the stronger the memories from the vacation, the longer and brighter the pleasure that you get at home will be. The smell of travel is often subconsciously stored in our memory, especially if we have been breathing this air for a long time.
But in fact, while traveling, smells should be on your special account, as an always mandatory item in the program.
To get strong aromatic memories from your vacation, you need to purposefully explore the local smells and breathe them in deeply. Attentiveness and resourcefulness will help you a lot. Buy fragrant candies or snacks from your local supermarket and eat one each day. Put a bag of field herbs in your car or backpack. Buy an unusual flower from the market and leave it to dry in your hotel room. Don’t forget the less obvious smells too: save the tissue paper you use to dry your fingers after your Spanish paella, or the T-shirt you washed in an Indian laundry. Bring home the scents that hit you the most, and you’ll be surprised how quickly your nose brings back memories even years later. Oh, that smell – I remember it so well!

World market: what Greece is known for
Any trip starts with choosing the country you want to visit. Pay attention to Greece – the sea is already warm in May, but the daytime temperature is very comfortable. This means that it will be possible to combine both a beach holiday and excursions, especially since in a country with such a rich history there really is something to see, and most importantly, what to bring with you.
Top 10 must-see places in Budapest
If you prefer long walks through ancient cities with amazing architecture to a beach holiday, fly to Budapest! No wonder this city is called the Eastern Paris of Europe. Thermal springs, water bus rides, cozy streets and delicious goulash – this is what makes this place unforgettable. And the view of the parliament at night will be one of the best experiences of a lifetime – checked!
Turkey you didn’t know about
Are you used to thinking of Turkey as a resort with hotels and an all inclusive system? We are in a hurry to surprise you: there are unique places in Turkey that are definitely worth a visit.
Don’t be afraid to change your idea of the familiar – it’s worth it.
Unexplored native spaces: Altai
And what about us? And we also have a lot of incredible beauties. For example, the pearl of Russia is the Altai Territory. A trip here is a great opportunity not only to see the pristine nature with all its colors, but also to test your own capabilities. You can tell your grandchildren about such a trip!
Ready tour or solo trip?
So, you have decided where you want to go. It’s time to decide how best to organize the trip – on your own or through a tour operator. Both options have pros and cons, so just choose the one that suits you best.
How to get a visa on your own
If you want to organize your own travel, first find out if a visa is required to travel to the country you have chosen. The list of visa-free countries for Russian citizens can be easily found on the Internet. But do not worry if you still have to issue a special permit for entry – the list of documents, as a rule, is not very large, and it is not difficult to issue them.
