If you are planning your first trip away for a while, you may not know where to start. In fact, we are probably all a little out of practice when it comes to travel. Let’s have a look below at some of the things you should consider:

How Long Are You Traveling? 

The first thing you need to decide is how long your trip is going to be. What time have you got off from work? Can you travel as much as you want? Of course, the longer you have the more flexibility you have. If you are traveling long-distance you need to allocate time for things like jetlag, whereas traveling local means you could spend more time in switched-off mode. If you’re traveling for a few weeks or more, you may want to think about a multi-destination trip. 

Where And What Trip Type? 

Next, think about where you want to go and the type of trip you want. Do you want a relaxing spa feel or are you a thrill seeker looking for an adventure? When thinking about the type of trip you want to go on, you should also think about where you want to go. Do you want to go to a well-known destination or maybe somewhere off the beaten track? Have a look online at Instagram, blogs, etc. 

What Weather Can You Expect? 

When you have an idea of where you would like to go, you need to think about the weather and when the best season to visit may be. For example, some destinations are great to visit in the summer, whereas others are better in the winter months. Have a look online and research the annual average including aspects like rainfall. 

What’s Your Budget?

Some destinations can be more expensive than others such as Iceland, Hawaii, etc. For example, camping in Iceland would require a higher budget so may take you longer to save. Some of the things you can look out for include: 

  • The cost of the flights
  • Look at accommodation costs using rough dates
  • Have a look at how much the cost of living is in your destination such as the cost of coffee or average meal out
  • Check out things such as San Antonio things to do and then start planning your activities

Once you have looked at the above, you should be able to figure out a basic cost and start saving. 

What Tours And Activities Do You Want To Do?

When you are traveling you should consider booking tours and other fun activities that will enhance your trip. There are many different things to choose from depending on your destination. From cooking classes and day spas to day trips and multi-day tours, there is something for everyone. 

This short guide should help you to start planning your next trip, of course, when we are able to safely travel again. Is there anything else that you think should be included on the list? Please include them in the comments below.

  1. This is always the most fun part of planning for a trip. I like to plan everything in detail, so I know exactly what I’m doing each day. That way no time is wasted, you don’t miss out on things. Thanks for sharing

  2. Weather is also key. I also said I want to have more itinerary less vacations. Some vacations should just be made for rest!

  3. I like that you mention tours because sometimes we think that we could always book a tour last minute and it doesn’t always work out. It’s great to plan and book the tours ahead of time. Great tips!
