Travel Myth 1:  I cant afford to travel (Travel is expensive)
Travel does not have to be expensive.  There is a whole segment of the travel industry geared towards student and budget travelers.

Flights can be purchased at eye-poppingly low prices these days.  Furthermore, accommodation does not have to be expensive especially if you are willing to stay a few streets away from the beach, in a 3 star hotel or even a youth hostel.  Budget travel is definitely the adventurous option!

Travel Myth 2: I cant travel alone (I don’t have anyone to travel with)
Thousands of people travel alone every year and come back safely to talk about it. 

Lone travelers must take the same precautions as any other traveler. Still, the experience of traveling alone is not as daunting as you might imagine.  Like other travelers you must be aware of the issues of safety at night as well as general safety on the streets.  If you do feel vulnerable, enroll in a self-defense class before hitting the road.

Travel Myth 3:  I don’t have time to travel
Travel does not have to involve two long weeks away from home and long haul flights. 

You will be amazed at how revitalizing a three day getaway can be.  Booked in advance, a cheap flight with a short stay in a three or 4 star hotel can run as cheap as $400. 

In most regions of the world, you are no more than a two or three hour flight away from tropical beaches and sunshine.  North Americans can take a short hop flight to a three-day weekend in the Caribbean and Europeans can do the same to the Mediterranean region during bank holiday breaks.
