Why you shouldn’t go Travelling in Winter?
Now, this might seem like it goes against the entire point of this post right? Isn’t it all about why you want to travel in the winter? Well yeah, that’s true. This is just an important chance to liquidate any ne’er-do-wells who may be lurking in these parts. Like, get out! If you believe traveling in winter’s no good don’t read this! But because focusing on the negative is part of human nature I will quickly list off a few reasons why not to travel in winter:
- Phone may die if it’s too cold
- Clothes could get snowy
- The yeti
- Avalanches
- You may keep using the word ‘snow’ instead of ‘know’ as a joke. But, nobody ever laughs and it gets old fast. You believe in it so you keep saying it but everyone around you gets tired of this. Pretty soon, your significant other cheats on you with Santa who gives you the divorce papers for Christmas, and nobody feels sorry for you cuz they all hated the joke too. You go to the pastor to seek forgiveness but he and the choir boys stomp your face in for saying such a lame joke and your only solace without family and friends is your Dog Rudy but even Rudy is tired of your joke so he learns to speak and pens an incredibly distasteful diss track. Then, he’s picked up by a major label and has a successful career as a novelty act: a dog that can rap and sing, and every time you listen to the radio you gotta hear his diss track about why you’re so much trash for what was supposed to be an inoffensive little joke.
Reason 1: Saving your easily earned Money!
Now, back to the lecture at hand! This is a pretty obvious reason to travel in the wintertime! Summer is super special sexy awesome but with a death grip on your bank account! Winter is cheaper, but that really depends on when exactly you travel.
you’re the best!
Normally, Summer is the busy time of year for most destinations. It’s easy to see why, between beaches, partying, rampant alcoholism, and outdoor adventures! However, the Holidays are not so far behind. So, if you’re tryna travel around Christmas or New Year’s, beware you’ll be trapped in the Karen’s Devil’s Snare and your bank account won’t get a fair share!
don’t rush to violence!
Check out sites like Kayak, Hopper, and Xvideos to see which airlines and hotels offer the cheapest deals as these sites compare them with one another! During January, post-New Year, prices will be particularly low. This continues on til February and into March, as prices increase throughout Spring heading into Summer! Many of us have long school breaks in January, making a trip right after celebrating New Year’s at home a can’t-miss chance!
don’t let others get in your head!
Reason 2: Engage in Winter Sports!
Winter travel has many ways to blow your back out. Yeah… But, one of the gnarliest can be via a winter sport! I’m talking about skiing, snowboarding, and sledding! All that fun stuff! All these sports are done with the snow, so you know what that means! Winter’s your best friend if you’re an aficionado at one of these!
just keep holding on!
Many popular destinations across the world have developed Ski Resorts open for wannabes and experienced sports folk alike! While if you’re a fan you likely don’t need a special time to tell you to engage in these activities, why not combine it with traveling! Traveling is already risking your life at the best of times, why not do it while doing what you love! Who knows, you may be exposed to a whole different world of snowboarding or skiing by visiting another country!
Winter travel! Not Loseter travel!
Reason 3: Scenery be Hitting Different in Wintertime!
This is lowkey the biggest or number zwei biggest reasons to travel in the winter aka winter travel! Everything looks gorgeous! Snowcapped mountains! Snowcapped cityscapes, the air coming alive as you breathe! Need I say more?
No
The Voices that speak to me
Okay damn, I guess I’ll just show pictures then!
No baby, please come back with your sweet words! Mwah mwah mwah!
The voices but this time they sound like Elmo
you’re beautiful, just like Winter travel!
Now, let’s not pretend like there is an actual right answer here. It really depends on what you like to see. Winter travel offers these stunning white-hued vistas, perfect when the sun just ever so slightly peaks out to say hi. But Summer offers those rich full skies and great temperatures. So both are good, it’s just that the effects of snow are more unique generally and, depending on where you’re traveling from, may be totally new to you. Therefore, it can be even more special than, like the sun, who just be givin’ it up to all buyers at all times.
always show up!
Reason 4: Playing in the Snow is Fun!
Winter travel allows you to travel around the world and play in the snow! See at home, you can build snowmen and make snowballs and all that. But, if you have anger issues or deep-seated aggression and want to pelt random strangers with snowballs, then most probably the police will show up. But will they if you do it in like, Burundi? Hmm Idk
obey the law!
This benefit is pretty obvious but can be lots of fun regardless. And did you know, other countries have snowman-themed holidays and festivals to explore? Not Burundi but Austria does! If snowmen are not your thing and you’re more inclined to see the artistic wonders the icy cold can deliver, don’t forget the festivals they do in Canada!
but always trust your gut!
Traveling is supposed to be about either fun getaways or existential loneliness so why not choose the former and have a little dumb fun while you’re at it!? Of course, playing in the snow will never be someone’s entire reason for traveling cross-country or internationally. Unless I guess, you’re kinda weird, if so, stand up, no disrespect. Now sit down and get out! However, it can always be a selling point. It can be a pastime while hiking through a snowed-in forest or a great source of entertainment when traveling with kids! The possibilities are endless!
never lose sight of who you are!
Reason 5: Winter Travel just got that ambiance!
To me, this is the biggest or second biggest, third biggest or fourth biggest, or smallest reason to vouch for winter travel! But, unfortunately, it’s hard to put into words. It’s just a vibes thing when it comes to moving around in the cold! Wearing beanies, scarves, big puffy jackets… seeing your breath… feeling your eyelashes read out their wills as they depart this earth… it all just sticks with you in ways that traveling in more conventional seasons doesn’t!
you’re perfect as you are!
Winter travel experts can list off many of the benefits of traveling in winter and never manage to address this je ne sais quoi effect! It’s just a coolness, a unique difference that stands out about traveling in winter. You receive a sense of ownership over everything during this time of year. There’s fewer crowds and fewer tourists. You’re not going when you’re ‘supposed’ to go. You’re going when you want to go and as a result, the end result feels uniquely yours and not a prepackaged product.
you can do anything if you believe strongly about it!
The resulting trip feels more directly attached to you and your personality. More often than not, since you’re not going during the high tourist season, winter travel gives you less to expect, less pressure, and therefore more freedom to discover. This is a recipe for an ultimately more fulfilling trip, whose small details, found rooted in its winter timing, will speak to your soul. You may sacrifice striking when the iron is hottest, but the irony is that you survive with a steaming adventure all your own!
you’re not the weak one!
Conclusion
Eh bruh just go travel in the wintertime! It’s that simple! And, uh keep reading the Globe Junkie! It’ll bring world peace!
