Planning
a long trip can be a daunting task. Where do you begin? What’s step one? What’s
step two? What’s step three? It’s easy to get overwhelmed in the beginning,
especially when you haven’t done something like this before.
In
a continuing effort to get out the door and into the world, you have to create
a step-by-step guide to planning a trip that breaks the process down so
planning becomes easier and less overwhelming.
Follow
these steps which can help you in making your planning trip easier:
·
Decide
Where You Want To Go: Defining where
you want to go sets a goal to work towards. Picking a destination is immensely
important as it gives you a definite goal. It’s a lot easier to mentally get
behind “I am going to Dehradun” than “I’m going to Mussoorie.” Not only will
your trip become more concrete for you and easier to commit to, but it will
make planning easier as well.
·
Decide
the Length of Your Trip: How much does it cost to travel? I have no idea without knowing for how
long you’re going away. You can’t figure out how much you need to save if you
haven’t decided on how long you’ll be in your destination.
·
Research
Your Costs: So
you know where you’re going and how long you’ll be there, but to really nail
down how much money you need, your next task is to research the costs in your
destination at the style of travel you want. How much are hostels, hotels,
restaurants, and attractions? Knowing will allow you to estimate how much money
you’ll need for your trip.
·
Start
Saving Money: Time to start saving! Write down all your current expenses so you can
determine where you are spending money and how you can cut back. People bleed a
lot of money every day through small purchases – that bottle of water, snack, that extra coffee. All
of that adds up and creating this breakdown can let you know where you need to
cut and save.
·
Book
Your Accommodation: If you have a set schedule,
feel free to book accommodation for the duration of your trip, but if you are
going to be traveling long-term, book just the first few days. Once you know
the dates you’ll be in your
destination, there is no real reason not to find a place to stay. My view
is that waiting will just lead to you losing your top picks.
·
Plan
Your Activities: Sketch out the major activities you want to enjoy and how much they
cost. Make any last-minute adjustments to your savings so you can ensure you
have enough money. This will also help you figure out if you need any
reservations for your chosen tours or activities.
·
Enjoy
Your Trip: Go
on your trip and have fun and enjoy the fruits of your labor! By using this
post as a guideline, you can better organize and prepare for your
trip.
