In a world that often feels routine, mundane, and predictable, the desire to escape the ordinary is more enticing than ever. This is the year to book those spontaneous trips, go on those sunrise hikes, and spend as much time living a life that genuinely excites us.
Here at Kovered, we believe in embracing the spirit of adventure and encouraging everyone to break free from the routine. To help you achieve your 2024 goals, we have put together 10 innovative ways to travel more and escape the ordinary, complemented by our stylish and durable backpacks, holdalls and messengers.
1. Spontaneous getaways
We get that not everyone can simply quit their job and travel the world at the drop of a hat (if only), so why not break the monotony by planning some impromptu weekend getaways? Keep a ready-to-go bag packed with essentials in your Humber holdall, allowing you to embark on spontaneous adventures whenever the opportunity arises.
2. Set that 5 am alarm
This one is simple, yet effective. Wake up with the sun and seize the day. Kickstart your day with a burst of energy and take control of your mornings. Watch the sunrise, take a morning hike, explore the outside world, anything that gets you going!
3. Road trip camping
Hit the open road and create your own adventure, give the expensive flights and hotels a miss and keep it simple. Put on your favourite playlist, throw your Roe backpack in the back seat, pick a destination and just drive. Sometimes, the best adventures are on your doorstep, and we want you to experience them.
4. Go to a festival
Get your friends together and immerse yourself in the festival lifestyle. The vibrant atmosphere, diverse music and new faces create an unforgettable experience. Grab your tent and wellies, throw your festival essentials into your Trent holdall, dance the night away and make lasting connections.
5. Explore a new city
One thing we should all strive to do this year is explore a new city, 48 hours, that is all you need. Immerse yourself in a unique culture, meet the locals, and try a new cuisine; you won't regret it. Travelling to new places and experiencing the world is what life is all about; it's what inspires us. So, book a cheap flight, toss your essentials into your Mersey messenger bag, and venture out into the world.
6. Solo backpacking
Rediscover yourself through solo travel, have a bit of 'me time' and truly reflect. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but when do we truly spend time by ourselves and take it all in?
7. Off the grid retreats
Disconnect from the digital world and recharge in nature. Choose off-the-grid destinations where you can find solace in the tranquility of remote locations. Really take the time to connect with your partner, friends, or even yourself and go on a long walk, play a board game or get stuck into a really good book. We could all benefit from a digital detox from time to time.
8. Commute in style
Escaping the ordinary doesn't have to be about planning an extravagant trip, transform your daily commute into a stylish adventure. Opt for alternative routes or choose to take your bike instead of your car to discover new perspectives. Small changes can have the biggest impact.
9. Start a journal
This sounds a bit cliché, but hear us out. Our dreams always seem like these big things we can't reach, but if we break them down into achievable goals, we can easily see them come to life. Take your journal with you each day in your Arrow backpack, and jot things down as they come to you. You will be able to look back at it and see how far you've come.
