Travelling to strange places really is exciting, especially if that particular destination has been at the very center of your day dreams or when it is somewhere you’ve gotten a lot of positive reviews about, added to the really enchanting photos you have been looking at online and cannot seem to get out of your mind.

It is more than just visiting a tourist area.


It becomes an experience that creates the best type of nostalgia and that’s just a stone at the edge of the mountain of experiences you get.

Imagine trying new delicacies, a switch from the regular Egusi, even though Naija jollof remains our champion. Food specially prepared and unique to each destination, with so many flavors and textures that you have not had before, drinks that awaken your taste buds and gets you tingly in all the right places.

You get to bask in each mouthful and have the taste linger for as long as you can because that feeling right there is the ecstasy you had dreamed about.

Imagine experiencing the sight of the bold rays of the colors of sunset and sunrise over the edges of rocks or immersing yourself in the awesomeness that is the large expanse of land, filled with sand dunes or listening to the music of the Blue Ocean as waves crash on rocks and birds call out to each other.

The blend of scents that hit you as you walk through the bustle of a newly discovered street market, or the cobblestone lanes of a quiet, quaint little village, antique places that you only once saw online, exploring landscapes that make you feel like the world really is a large photo booth which you are a part of.

You blend into the background so beautifully, you become a part of your favorite wallpaper.


Think of the new faces, spicy personalities, intriguing minds, weird accents, warm conversations and beautiful sounds of laughter that you become a part of.

They become those colorful bits of memories captured in photos that make your tummy feel really sweet every time you remember.

An experience of the exotic mix of culture, people and geography, so warm and pleasant, you turn each piece of reality into your new favorite day dream, to relive each moment over and over.

Then comes the story telling part, when you replay those scenes with your loved ones and inject high doses of nostalgia so good it keeps the memories from fading into black and white.

That feeling in you to take a break from your current environment is natural. It is the tourist in you and yes, it is okay to embrace it. More so, there comes a time when this feeling becomes so strong that you cannot ignore anymore. A time when all you really want is to be free of your work responsibilities and breathe. A time when you desire to explore the world and its people, capturing and creating moments as you go along.

For this inevitable time, you do need plans to truly make it pleasant. And as it should be with life plans, you do need to consciously consider decisions from as many perspectives as possible.

Even though we would rather avoid the thought, there definitely is the need for money to fund these day dreams and if the dream includes family, the budget sure gets bigger.

This really means that the plans have to include the best available financial management options. A plan that is efficient enough to help you save, spend and not break your back.

Think about the sense of accomplishment, the pride that swells within, that feeling of achievement and the joy in you as you experience those amazing moments, whether alone or with your family, knowing that there is still enough left to cover other financial needs and you can sleep peacefully.

The chances of these happening are quite high, especially if you’re surrounded by those who help you to get more out of life. Everything except for circumstances outside your control will go so smoothly it’ll seem like magic. But it’s not, it is the Pensure Advantage.
