Travel Planning

Home / Travel Planning - Page 2

Travel planning is the meticulous, yet necessary part of having a great trip. No matter how much of the trip you want to be planned before you go, there will always be some planning involved. For example, you:

  • Have to figure out where you want to go and how you’re going to get there.
  • Need to know the local currency and how you will get around once you get to your destination.
  • May need to study up on the culture of your destination and whether you should tip at dinner or not.

Here, I will help steer you in the right direction to begin planning your trip. I will provide tips on:

  • How to choose your destination
  • The best way to get to your destination
  • Common/best transportation to explore your destination, and more.

Travel planning can be time-consuming and the hill you don’t want to climb to get to your vacation. However, I hope these tips will help level out the hill and make your travel planning a little more smooth and headache-free!
