To enjoy you trip and vacation as much as you can and prevent unsolicited difficulties and chaos you should always make a plan ahead. It is a very fun and especially helpful thing to do and on the top of that it will make you even more excited about traveling than you are.
What will you need ?
You will only need a phone or a laptop for your research and for writing everything important down - you can also use a notebook if you prefer.
1. step - DESTINATION
The most important thing when planning a vacation is the destination. Do you want to visit beaches, mountains or cities ?
You should choose wisely and take into consideration the time of the year when you want to travel because some destinations are better to visit for example during summer times and the prices can also differ depending on the time of the year.
2. step - DURATION OF YOUR TRIP
Always make sure you know how many days or how much time you need for each destination you want to visit - are 2 hours going to be enough to enjoy this place or do I need 2 days ?
The duration often depends on the purpose of your travels.
3. step - BOOKING
I suggest to book your flights, accommodation, tickets and cars in advance to avoid raising prices over time and availability. Sometimes checking last minute deals can save you some money but it is a possibility you cannot rely on.
4. step - PLAN WHAT TO SEE AND DO
You do not have to have everything planned to the exact details but it is always good to do a research about the things and attractions you can find and see in the destination you are planning to visit. Sometimes you can find interesting day trips or tours. When doing you research you might find a lot of useful tricks and hacks you will need in your destination.
5. step - PACKING
Do not bring many unnecessary things.
Always check the weather forecast for the destination you are traveling to and even though/if you are going to a tropical destination, make sure to bring some extra layers - it can always get cold.
Don't forget to bring sunscreen, mosquito repellent and any prescription you might need.
I love planning trips and vacations because it always makes me so excited about the new experience I'm about to gain and new memories I can share with my friends and family.
I hope you find these 5 steps as helpful as I do!
Have fun and safe travels to all of you!
