Each trip is unique. We travel because we want new experiences and adventures, but sometimes our expectations don’t match reality.
Here are 3 tips that will help you have a best trip ever.
Don’t Overplan
You definitely want to avoid traveling with too rigid schedule or no schedule at all. A happy medium is the sweet spot – plan all the important things ahead, such as accommodation, but leave some room for improvising on the spot.
Slow Down
It may be tempting to see and do as many things as you can while you’re visiting a certain city, but that may lead to rushing through things and not actually experiencing anything.
Hire a Guide
If you don’t know anything about the place you’re visiting, it may be a good idea to hire a guide. They usually don’t cost a lot and will let you see the place through the locals’ eyes.
Live in the Moment
There’s nothing worse than approaching the end of the trip with the realization that you’ve been looking at your phone more than you were looking around yourself. There will be plenty of time for editing and publishing the photos on Instagram when you come home.
