Some people like to travel without a plan as they get overwhelmed by simply thinking about planning a trip by themselves. Whether the trip will take a couple of days or a couple of weeks, planning a trip can be easy if you use a Travel Planner. Let’s plan for your travel together step by step!
Make your own travel wishlist and pick your destination
First thing first, you need to know where you want to go. Take a quick look at the best travel books and discover great ideas from the experts:
- 50 States, 5,000 Ideas: Where to Go, When to Go, What to See, What to Do
- The Bucket List: 1000 Adventures Big & Small
- The Art of Travel by Alain De Botton
- A Moveable Feast (Lonely Planet Travel Literature)
Create your to-do checklist before your trip
Who’s going to take care of you pets, your plants and your house when you are away? Any appointments that you need to reschedule? Who will cover your work? Have you purchased any travel insurance? Check off those small things so you are comfortable to get away from where you are at.
Manage your trip budget
I know it’s probably not your favorite part, but please make a budget for your trip so there won’t be any bad surprises during or after the trip. Have a luxurious trip may be unforgettable but wake up – being broke is NOT a plan.
Take a trip overview
Research your destination, for example, places you want to visit, trip safety tips, where to stay, where to eat, what local activities you like to attend. Don’t miss out anything as you may not be able to go there twice. Also be selective and don’t rush to every single place like crazy. TripAdvisor, Booking.com and Expedia help make booking flights, hotels, and restaurants easier, and they also have good vacation ideas. Sometimes they offer good deals and I always go back to check their promotions and find something within my budget.
Plan your itinerary
The Travel Planner offers three itinerary templates, decide the length of your trip, choose monthly, weekly, and daily itinerary as you like and keep all travel arrangements in one place.
Prepare your packing list
Start with your must-have travel essentials and check things off your packing list. What are your top 5 carry-on travel essentials?
Now it’s finally the time to pack your luggage and go for travel!
Enjoy your trip and see you next time.
