A lot of globetrotters dream of travelling full-time, but often have no idea how to turn this into a reality. But guess what, manifesting your dream life of travel is doable, and it can be the answer you’re looking for. Manifestation isn’t some hoax, it’s actually worked for a lot of people and might work for you too. If that’s the mindset you’re starting this with, then this read’s not going to work for you. However, if you’re willing to keep an open mind, then get ready as we’re going to tell you how to manifest travel into your life.

But first, what’s meant by “manifesting your dream life”?

Manifestation is the ability to bring a desire from one’s inner realm to their physical realm. Or in much simpler words, turning your dreams and aspirations into a tangible reality. It may sound crazy to some of you, but we promise, it works! All you have to do is do it right then let the universe work its magic.

How to Manifest Travel?

Now, less rambling and more actionable steps. Here’s what you need to do to start manifesting your dream life of full-time travel, or any dream life of yours in fact. 

Be clear about what you want

It’s really important to set clear goals, and “wanting to travel all the time” isn’t really one. Ask yourself, that dream life of yours, what does it look like? Think about where do you want to live, how often do you want to travel, and what kind of remote work would you ideally be doing? Does that dream of yours include a partner? A potential family someday? Or do you want to fly solo forever? Try to picture and visualise every detail of your ideal life – that’s a crucial first step to manifesting your dream.

Get rid of limiting thoughts

Negative thoughts have power over us. The law of attraction works both ways, you know? To put it simply, you get what you think. And if you constantly live in fear of not being able to reach your goals, you won’t. Your negative, limiting thoughts and beliefs will attract limitations to your life, even if you don’t want that. 

Adopt the right mindset

That being said, it’s really important to adopt a more positive mindset instead. So the first thing you’ve got to do is believe in yourself. As cheesy as it may sound, it’s important. Only you are your biggest enemy and you have to learn to trust yourself as well as your capabilities. 

Practice positive affirmations

Practicing positive affirmations on a regular basis can help with the mindset thing. Self-talk influences our mindset big time – it’s actually a significant part of it. 

Here are a few empowering travel affirmations to add to your morning routine:

“​​I am creating a life of adventure.”

“I am open and ready to travel.”

“I am even more grateful to travel now than ever before.”

“I am grateful for the opportunity to explore the world.”

“I deserve to enjoy new experiences.”

“I am strong and capable, even in a foreign country.”

“I am worthy of adventure.”

“I possess the freedom to travel wherever I desire.”

Surround yourself with reminders

Just like the positive affirmations will help you shift your mindset, it’s good to have visual reminders around you as well. Journaling is a great way to do so. You can write down your dream life you picture for yourself on paper – it’s a good workout for your brain. You can even write down the affirmations as you say them out loud.


The perfect visual reminder, however, would have to be a vision board! In case you don’t know what this is, a vision board, or as some call it a dream board, is a collage of pictures and words that represent your dreams and aspirations. They’re great because you see them every day, so it’s a constant reminder of what you want in life, even if it’s an indirect one.

What’s so great about vision boards is that they can be either physical or digital – it works both ways. If you’re crafty, then you can unleash your teen self and let her put together a lovely collage and hang it somewhere you look at every day. You can put it on your desk or hang it on a wall you often pass by. On the other hand, if you want something practical and easy to put together, you can create a collage on Photoshop or Canva and set it as your mobile wallpaper or desktop background. 

Wondering what you can add to your vision board? How about pictures of the places you want to visit so bad for a start? You can also add graphics and illustrations that represent the kind of adventure you want to have. And you can add some travel-related quotes or affirmations as well. Pinterest can be a great way to start if you’re looking for some inspo!

Take action

Manifestation isn’t some modern-age voodoo – you’ve got to actually put in the work to achieve your goals. So, ask yourself what actionable steps do you need to take in order to attain that dream life of travel? Manifesting your dream life won’t happen overnight after casting some magic spell – you need to take action.

Let go

Remember to not stress over anything if push comes to shove. When manifesting your dream life, it’s important to let go and not overthink it. There’s a fine line between overthinking something when it doesn’t happen overnight (because face it, it won’t) and focusing on doing your part and leaving the rest to the universe. It’s quite tricky, we know.

We bet this read has achieved its purpose and motivated you enough to go get started on your manifestation process. So, what are you waiting for? Better put what you just learned into action and start manifesting your dream life of full-time travel.
