Seven Deadly Sins of Travel

Here’s a read I was sure would be filled with all the wild things you go to do partying like a
charged up spring breaker to make your vacation full of deadly sins. Days filled with
slinging back cold one after cold one and nights full of debauchery… Should spring break really be considered
vacation? Considering this piece is from MSNBC and the time of year
I was very mistaken by the title of the article and the seven deadliest sins are actually pretty good. Probably not
quite as bad as what you would find happening during spring break.

 

Joel Widzer points out some good ways to make your trip less enjoyable, which two of my favorites are ‘Pride’ and
‘Envy.’ In pride he notes to make sure you check out destinations that aren’t “must-go destinations” as stated by
magazines and newspapers. Put your pride in the back seat, avoid following a hoard of tourists who’ve read the same
material you have and hit up some of the undervalued destinations. This offers visitors the chance to save a little
pocket change and remain from being chin deep in crowds or camera snapping explorers. Totally agree with that.

He also gives some great tips on encountering someone with a better flight, a nicer hotel, a grander cruise
cabin, a lower fare and so forth. Things like that shouldn’t put a damper on your vacation. Being envious is
no way to spend your time off, so find out what’s important to you before heading off, suggests Widzer. That way you’ll
be able to let the small stuff roll off your back and get back to enjoying the trip. Sounds pretty easy, but I still
meet people who get stuck on small hang-ups and sour the rest of the trip wishing they could have had what someone else
had.

The other five deadly travel sins include: anger, avarice, sloth, gluttony, and lust.
