January just got over .. It's not too late... Decide one place in each direction of the country every quarter of the year - South, West, North or East. Book at least two weekends to travel neighbouring cities or states. You will definitely travel one weekend out of two. Now that you have booked your weekends/months, book train tickets prior to stay low on budget. Check all long weekends right now and book your tickets. Try to concentrate on festivals in different places. Do not think or plan too much and end up not going anywhere. Just pick up your bag and go to the bus stand.   Keep your budget as low as possible even if its crazily low. Trust me you will somehow find ways to survive. High budget makes you give up on options easily. You can even carry a tent/sleeping bag/hammock. You might be lucky to socialise and find someone's roof or garden to crash. Planning trip with friends from a long time? Ditch them and just leave even...
