You would never know because I was not there…I's in travel now! (In the words of Sug- Color Purple)
I gave myself the day off to spend actual QUALITY time with
my family. We talked about deals and
sales we no THEY were going to take advantage of after the holidays, where we were traveling for the next year, what vacations were on our bucket list, who had to work tomorrow, and who DID
NOT! Guess which time I held my hand up.
I actually was able to get something done to my travel blog in
between turkey servings and the book I threw all over my bedroom for the last
couple months.. . I realized that I actually was reading the book and I was at a good
part, the part where I made the decision to depart from you.
If I was paying attention, I probably got paid today. Who’s counting?
I slept in late this Thanksgiving, and this Christmas, well you know the kids right? Maybe not. My new industry (travel remember) does not really call for me
to be available during the holidays… I am not essential but I am important. As a matter of fact, I actually look forward to working... when I'm ready.
I also did not have to worry about if I could afford my rent
after those much needed Black Friday Shopping Sprees for the ones I love. Sorry I didn’t get you anything for the holidays...
Traveling? Millennials are now traveling with class!
Millennials do more traveling now because there are more opportunities
to fund what used to be a dream.
HOW IT USED TO BE... TRAVELING.
It used to be (in my generation, I don’t know which letter I
am X or Y) that if a person left the security of a “normal” life and lived one
of travel instead that they were crazy.
This is due to the fact that there were not too many opportunities to
fund such a dream. If there was, they
took a looooong time to come into fruition.
Many from my generation instead opted for a lifestyle that they could
fund. That meant getting a job.
NOW... TRAVELING.
Now millennials are travelingmore than any generation before their
time. The internet, social media, and
new creative options opening in the travel industry have allowed them to fund
the dream of traveling. These millennials are not only traveling for fun but for
work as well as corporate positions obtained after school requires a more
global approach to the 9-5. In addition,
many millennials need knowledge of global accommodations, global culture, and
travel options for new jobs in high executive areas.
WHY DOESN'T SCHOOL COVER THIS?
The problem is school teaches everything from a book. Even upon exit of school after graduation, many employers believe college grads are great for unpaid internships. How does a millennial who dreams of traveling
or needs to know more about traveling for that perfect job, get ahead of this? How can they gain the advantage over the
other students and millennials who need the same jobs and went to the same
schools? Moreover, with the cost of
college and the average cost of living rising, how does a millennial fund this travel
dream?
WORLD CLASS WITH CLASS... AND DURING CLASS.
More now than ever, millennials are doing both getting their
world class on with class. They are
joining travel clubs that allow easy access into the global traveling field and the
opportunity to fund their travel dreams, many while still in school.
Not all college student’s parents have the
money to send them all over the world, or heck, even home. I was one of them. Instead millennials are making the money
themselves through travel clubs to fund their travels, vacations with
friends, and trips back home while in school. Most millennials stick with their travel business after school and never get a job.
NO TIME TO TRAVEL...IS NO LONGER AN EXCUSE.
What’s more interesting is that millennials are making this sort of
money without ever having to travel.
They are funding and saving at the same time they are partying and
studying. This is due to the fact that
travel clubs are not exclusive to traveling but entertainment, and activities
and do not have the requirement of ongoing travel to stay afloat.
Millennials are world schooling themselves through these
experiences which also helps with class as it’s better to get the information
from the source than a book about the source.
These millennials are even gaining traction over their older
counterparts because technically, they are more cultured than the 35-year old
who knows how to book a flight.
