Do you feel exhausted when trying to get the best deal on tickets?
Are you always in a rush and unsure of what to include in your “must-do” list?
What if something goes wrong?
If any of those questions sound familiar, this post is for you.
Embarking on the journey of planning your next solo adventure can be exhilarating, but it often comes with its share of frustrations. The fluctuating flight prices, the myriad of destinations, and the overwhelming decision-making process can leave even the most seasoned solo travelers feeling a bit overwhelmed. Fear not! Here are some energizing tips to turn your travel planning into a delightful experience.
- Break Down the Planning Process: Tackling everything at once can be overwhelming. Break down the planning process into smaller, more manageable tasks. Start with flights, then move on to accommodations and activities. It’s like solving a puzzle – piece by piece.
- Embrace the Adventure of Flexibility: Don’t let the ever-changing flight prices 🛬 get you down. Do a couple of researches, even in different days, and consider being flexible with your travel dates. Sometimes a slight adjustment can open up a world of more affordable options. After this, instead of fixating on the lowest price, focus on what you feel. If you feel confortable with it, don’t think it twice and just buy the ticket! We need to accept that in this post-covid era the prices are not that low anymore so… what are you waiting for? 😎
- Less is more! Create a ‘Must/Want-See’ Wish List: I know, I know, we all want to visit every place we “have to” in the new destination, but we are not robots, so instead of drowning in choices, curate a list of must/really would love to – see places. This will narrow down your options and make decision-making more manageable. Remember, focus on what really impassions you 🤸🏻♀️, this country won’t go anywhere and you can always visit it again!
- Let Technology Be Your Ally: Harness the power of travel apps and websites to track flight prices (set those alerts!), discover hidden gems, and connect with other solo travellers. Technology can be your trusty sidekick, helping you navigate the complexities of planning with ease.
- Imperfect over perfect plans: Understand that no plan is perfect and we cannot control everything. Embrace the spontaneity of solo travel and allow room for unexpected discoveries. Here is where real magic happens ✨
Remember, the purpose of travel is to enjoy the journey – both in the planning stage and the adventure itself. So, let the excitement flow, and revel in the anticipation of the incredible solo journey you’re about to embark on! Safe travels!
