Try a new activity
It can be fun to step outside of your comfort zone and try something new while on vacation! For your next travel resolution, try a new activity or adventure that will excite you. This could be taking a leisurely horseback ride on the beach, trying a new food or drink, or even something like a water aerobics class in your tropical resort. Before attempting any physical activities, though, make sure you’re cleared by your doctor!
Set a goal for the number of destinations
Perhaps your new travel resolutions are about quantity in 2023; that’s great too! If you set a goal to visit a certain number of states in the year or travel internationally for the first time, that’s a fantastic New Year’s travel resolution!
