Cancun provides you with all the freedom; no boundaries. Just engage yourself with luxury, parties, big resorts, spring break, and amazing beaches. It is often considered as an American playground. When the spring season starts, the college kids flock beside the beaches to get dunked and to take a sun bath.

Tourists relaxing at Beach

Beaches and nightlife are main factors for many Cancun Visitors. But not only this, the area earns the bridge of praise for its cultural activities like Chichen Itza and the turtle farms of Isla Mujeres. Life provides you every second to enjoy the moments, now it’s on you, how you use every minute.

Amazing Chichen- Itza

For many tourists, a vacation in fabulous Cancun, Mexico is like a spot where your dream comes true.

La Isla shopping mall besides the flowing river

One stop travel guide The Flights Guru wants to give you some advice for your journey to Mexico

Prefer to eat local food – By buying the food from the Cancun market, you can save a lot of money. If you are going for a long day trip it’s preferable to carry some packed lunch instead of paying a huge amount of money to restaurants.

Visit in off season – Try to go to Cancun in the off-season between June and November as accommodation is less as compare to any other season.

Soft white sand like velvet, warm weather, and vibrant shades of blue sparkle water all these elements together makes the perfect beach. One of the largest beaches of Cancun, Playa Delfines, has the brightest blue water in the city. Whenever you visit, you can see parasailers, jet skiers and with that you can enjoy these types of activities and lots of fun.

8 Relatable English Songs For Every Wanderluster


Quoting from one of our own blogs:

Travelling is an addiction that only does you good. It teaches you to not merely exist but living your life to the fullest. Every voyage that you take, adds something valuable to your personality which expands your perspective, broaden the horizons of your mind and imbibe the values of endurance in you.

Relatable much? If you too are hooked with the sheer charm of travelling, then these songs will inspire you to cure your itchy feet right away!

“A Good Day To Run” By Darryl Worley

Darryl Worley perfectly describes the apathy of our mundane lives and being stuck with a 9 to 5 lifestyle. The song talks about breaking free and hitting the road and we couldn’t agree more with its lyrics.

Here’s an excerpt.

My baby’s been working as a cashier
She didn’t get a vacation this past year
Now it won’t be long
We don’t need no destination
Just a tank of gas and a good clear station
Playing our favourite song
There’re some places that we ain’t been
Some things we ain’t done
And it sure looks like a good day to run

“On The Road Again” By Willie Nelson

This song will make you want to hit the road right away.  The song reached No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a reason. In fact, Willie Nelson won a Grammy Award for the Best Country Song for this song.

And every travel buff will relate to its lyrics that goes like this:

And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again

Goin’ places that I’ve never been
Seein’ things that I may never see again

And I can’t wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway

“Roam” By The B-52’s

According to Wikipedia Roam was number three on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in March 1990 and stayed a total of 19 weeks on the chart.

Roam gives you travel goals for sure. If you have been procrastinating travelling by any chance, the song is your med.

Fly the great big sky see the great big sea
Kick through continents bustin’ boundaries
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Around the world, the trip begins with a kiss

And that reminds us to inform you that you can buy the cheapest flights here.

“Wherever I May Roam” By Metallica

Rover, wanderer, Nomad, vagabond, call me what you will”, need we say more? The song evokes the spirits of travel and nomadic life.

“Anywhere I roam, Where I lay my head is home”, all the backpackers will definitely relate to this one.

And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her, I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

“Fly Away” By Lenny Kravitz

Lenny Kravitz totally tosses the vacation spirits with this one.

Let’s fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun

“Fly Away” is also Kravitz’s most successful songs till date.

Let’s go and see the stars
The milky way or even Mars
Where it could just be ours

*That’s totally a badass travel goal*

“The Passenger” By Iggy Pop

The best part of this song is that it was inspired by a real-life travel experience. Iggy Pop confirmed in an interview with The Guardian that “…I’d been riding around North America and Europe in David’s ( David Bowie) car ad infinitum. I didn’t have a driver’s licence or a vehicle.”

I am the passenger and I ride and I ride
I ride through the city’s backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, the bright and hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight

The song surely captures the travelling spirits.

“Around The World” by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This popular track from Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s most commercially successful album “Californication“, is perfect for someone who dreams of travelling the world. In fact, Anthony Kiedis himself stated that he is recounting his journeys and experiences in the song.

Here’s an excerpt:

Fox hole love
Pie in your face
Living in and out
Of a big fat suitcase

“I’ve Been Everywhere” By Johnny Cash

The song has been sung by various singers (all of them are good). However, the song was originally written by Australian country singer Geoff Mack in 1959.

 I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert’s bare, man.
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel, I’ve had my share, man.
I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been to:
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I’m a killer

The song is like a huge travel list which intensifies your wanderlust whenever you listen to it.

What’s Stopping You From Travelling?


You might have heard or read that travelling is an addiction that only does you good. True like ice. Travel is a beautiful experience and enriching to your senses. If someone tells you that wanderlust is overrated, trust us, you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

Travel teaches you to not merely exist but living your life to the fullest. Every voyage that you take, adds something valuable to your personality. Every journey that you undertake expands your perspective, broaden the horizons of your mind and imbibe the values of endurance in you.

giphy (1)

If travel does so much good, then why do people at all procrastinate this? Let’s see. Is it a lack of time? A companion? Is it laziness? Does it seem difficult? Or is there a fear of disappointment?

You can also join travel groups on Facebook, meet like-minded people who live in your city and who knows you may also get a travel partner. You can also sign-up for different group tours once you visit the city.

Travelling is not difficult at all. In the case of doubts, you can always study a bit about the city or country you are visiting beforehand, read about their currency and other essential things. For more info on this, read this blog on travel tips.

Those Holding Back Due To Any Health Issue

This is perhaps one of the most unfortunate reasons that may hold you back from travelling. For those of you with a similar issue, ask your doctor if she/he can travel with you. You may also ask for special flight and hotel arrangements or choose nearby destinations to cure your itchy feet.

You also need to remember that no obstacle is powerful than willpower, desire and sheer determination. You might not believe this but Mount Kili’s climbing history includes many senior citizens (the oldest being 86 years old). In fact, wheelchair-bound Bernard Goosen made it to the mountain by crawling to the Summit without any assistance. And wait, HE DID IT TWICE. So, where there’s a will, there’s a way.

For The Lazy Bums and Workaholics

Starting with lazy bums, maybe you are not into hiking, diving and trekking. So you may choose a destination that offers various sightseeing experience like a beach destination. You can just chillax there!

For the workaholics, you need to tell yourself that you have just one life and also that you need to chill. We know there are responsibilities and that work is important but so are you, your body and mind. It’s time you took a breather. Travelling is the best remedy to cure stress and revive yourself from the wraths of a harsh weekend.
