Most of us dream of seeing the world. We save posts, pin destinations, talk about “someday.” But when it comes time to actually book the trip, we hesitate. Weeks turn into months, and before we know it, another year has passed, and our lists of adventures are left waiting.
At Travel, Time is Short, we believe travel should never live at the bottom of your someday list. As my father used to say, “No dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy” – don’t leave for tomorrow what can be done today. Because the truth is, tomorrow isn’t guaranteed.
Here’s why we tend to put travel off – and how to finally change that.
The Real Reasons We Procrastinate Travel
1. We “Just Don’t Have Time”
Life is busy; careers, families, endless commitments. It can feel like stepping away is impossible. But here’s the truth: we’ll always be busy. Waiting for the perfect time means waiting forever.
2. The Planning Feels Overwhelming
Researching flights, hotels, and experiences can eat up hours. Many people give up before they even begin.
3. We Don’t Think We Can Swing It
Travel can feel expensive, especially when you’re comparing dream trips to everyday expenses. Without a clear plan, it feels safer to delay.
4. We Fear the Unknown
New places can feel intimidating. What if I pick the wrong destination? What if it doesn’t go smoothly? These “what ifs” quietly turn into inaction.
How to Shift from Someday to Today
1. Reframe Travel as Essential, Not Optional
Travel isn’t a guilty pleasure; it’s an investment in your well-being. Time away refreshes your mind, strengthens relationships, and creates lifelong memories. There are so many benefits to getting away, seeing new places, and meeting new people.
2. Start Small, But Start Now
Not every trip needs to be a three-week safari. A long weekend in a nearby city or a short cruise can reignite your sense of adventure. The key is momentum, so take the first step today. No dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy.
3. Delegate the Planning
That’s where we come in. Our team takes care of the research, coordination, and logistics so you can focus on what matters: enjoying your limited, precious time. Learn more about what we do as travel advisors and how we make travel planning a breeze!
4. Make It Official
Book the flights. Reserve the hotel. Once you commit, everything else will come together naturally. Future-you will thank you for taking action instead of waiting for the mythical “right moment.”
Time Is Too Short to Keep Waiting
The perfect time to travel doesn’t exist; only the moment you decide to make it happen. My father’s words still ring true:
“No dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy.”
Don’t let “someday” steal your experiences. Make today count.
At Travel, Time is Short, we craft expertly planned journeys so you can stop waiting and start living the adventures you’ve been dreaming about.
