When it’s your first romantic trip, you want everything to be just perfect: food, atmosphere, emotions, sights, mood. But what if planning a trip is not the most everyday thing for you? We tend to work so hard that even packing seems something strange and ultra-complex. How to plan a trip and not forget any of those things, listed above? Kiss a girl and pack your bag: it’s time to embark on a great adventure. Here is your essential short guide on how to become a pro-traveler:
Step 1 – decide on where you want to go. Plans are easily realized when the brain has precise information. Be determined. Ask about her favorite places from a childhood dream and fulfill this dream. Maybe your girl wants to visit Italy, France or Japan. It’s so easy to find an attractive destination and discuss your plans.
Step 2 – decide on the time of the trip. And the duration of your voyage as well… Just have an evening with a calendar and calculate what time lets both of you be free for a week or two. Ask for a short working holiday, plan when the session is over. Be ready to synchronize your schedules and count the amount of days you plan to spend in a foreign country. Thanks God there are plenty trip planning apps on the Internet that will do you a huge favor.
Step 3 – count your expenses. Ask your friends about the countries that are quite affordable and nice. Consult with your relatives, co-workers, your one and beloved person, that way you will know better what the sum will be for the next vacation weeks.
Step 4 – save some money. Low-budget travelling is so encouraging, but it’s still risky and can be such a childish option for those who is not ready to takes random peoples’ rides. Save for a high-quality trip (especially while planning a trip to Europe). It’s better to fly to Paris in two years than stuck in an exotic suburban motel right now.
Step 5 – don’t be afraid to change your mind. Plan a trip, keeping in mind that you can always find a better and/or a cheaper option. When you search for a destination, don’t hesitate to continue monitoring other places. It’s never too late until you finally have bought a both-way ticket.
Step 6 – book a flight and accommodation. All of this stuff has to be done beforehand. Ideally, a couple of month before the departure. Tickets can be a little tricky, because some companies have a restricted time of selling them before flights and it can be almost impossible to find comfortable places on a plane. So make sure tickets are the first thing you think about. You can skip worrying about the place to live, especially if you are going to a middle-class country with affordable hotels. You may book it for a couple of days, and then switch to renting a flat daily. Elder people who are not against visitors and showing their culture usually hold these services. It may be a lot of fun to rent a flat with a foreigner (if you don’t crave intimacy, of course).
Step 7 – plan your activities. What type of couple are you? Fierce mountain-climbers or passive restaurant-sitters? Either way, every country has different options for the visitors. Have a list of places you want to visit and things you want to do. Make sure you fulfill every dream of yours and have fun together!
Step 8 – enjoy the trip. Go on a trip and simply enjoy it. Do not pay attention to any emerging difficulties, because they appear each time anyway. If you follow these simple pieces of advice and plan everything as clearly as possible, everything will go perfectly well.
