Successful travel always starts with a plan. Whether you are going on a vacation or a more extensive sejour, there are always certain thins you need to know or take into account before your departure day arrives. Whatever it is, the way to a successful tripis to have a plan. It can make all the difference.

We recommend striking the right balance between “hitting all the tourist spots” and truly immersing yourself into the local ambience. How much of a particular place you can reasonably see and not feel too rushed is important to decide on. You will never know any destination on just a short stay, so enjoy the tine you have there.

If your goal is a long-term stay, then you will have more time to get to know a place. Longer term stays can often be more economical too, since you will likely not be eating in restaurants all the time or constantly visiting tourist sites. If you have the time (and budget), we think that “slow travel”, as it is often referred to, is the way to go!
