How to plan a trip in 2020
How to plan a trip in 2020
Vacations often start off as a wonderful idea and then eventually end up being a nightmare to manage. However, planning a vacation doesn’t have to be a pain. That’s why I want to show you a great system you can use to plan the perfect trip. So here’s how to plan a trip in 2020!
1.Pick your destination
The more focused and concrete your goal, the easier it will be to actually reach it. So defining where you want to go sets a goal to work toward. A lot of people talk vaguely about travel. They never say where they are going, just that they are going. Picking a destination is immensely important, as it gives you a definite goal.
Here are some things to keep in mind before selecting a destination:
-Check out the best time to visit all destinations.
-Consider the cost factor while picking a destination. Some places are more enjoyable in a luxury budget than others. So make sure you know your budget!
-Consider safety of course, especially if you are a solo female traveler!
2.Decide the Length of Your Trip
Determining how long your trip will be can basically help you figure out how much you need to save. If you already know where you want to go, then it must be much easier to search how much money you’ll need. And to do that, make sure you search all the costs in that destination you chose earlier (How much are hostels, hotels, restaurants, and attractions?…)
3.Book your flight and your accommodation
Booking tickets for your flight in advance is an important step in learning how to plan your trip to perfection. Since flight and accomodation are subject to availability and prices rise over time, getting the bookings done a few months in advance will help you avoid additional costs on your initial budget.
Fortunately, there are still many ways to avoid being the person on the flight who paid the most for their ticket. My favorite sites for finding cheap airfare are:
Momondo – A great platform for finding really cheap flights.
Skyscanner – Skyscanner is one of the best websites for searching multiple destinations at the same time.
Google Flights – Like Skyscanner, Google Flights is great for open searches to multiple destinations.
Kiwi – Kiwi is great for finding lesser-known routes or smaller carriers.
AirTreks – AirTreks focuses exclusively on multi-destination RTW tickets.
And for accomodations, you can book in one of the most famous website www.booking.com
4.Plan your activities
To make sure you have budgeted properly, outline the major activities you want to enjoy during your trip and how much they cost. However, keep in mind that in the trip planner, it’s better to keep only one or two activities in a day if the purpose of the trip is to relax and take it easy during the vacation.
5.Pack
Time to pack!!! This is, by the way, my favorite thing to do before traveling. It is always advisable to pack your stuff keeping in mind the destination and the influence of external factors on it. The unpredictability of weather, socio-political scenario, or a festive season can adversely affect travel plans. One of the things that help me to pack so that I won’t forget anything is making a list of all the things that I must bring with me. And I always make sure I don’t forget First aid kit and an extra shirt or sweater, because you never know!?
