How Planning Your Travel Can Make Your Experience Pleasurable





A travel plan is the most responsible factor for your travel experience. Whether it will be pleasurable or stressful will largely depend on how well you plan in advance. If you’re a frequent traveler, a good idea is to maintain a record of your experiences in a separate book which you can refer to every time you travel. Here you can maintain a check list of stuff that you always carry, stuff you carry internationally, separating the list into short travels and long travels. Making notes is a good habit and should be preferred to trusting your memory. If you’re on a comprehensive holiday package that includes travel, accommodation, food, sight seeing, etc, then there isn’t much you need to plan. Sufficient clothes, toiletry pouch that includes shaving kit, tooth brush, tooth paste, soap and soap paper, band aide and medicines, etc; torch if required, ipod, books, cash, credit cards and/or travelers checks; camera, binoculars, etc almost sum up the majority of the stuff you take along with you. Keep a small bag that carries your frequently required items separate from the bigger luggage. Books, ipod, snacks, water bottle, camera, tickets, etc are some of the things you may want to stuff the small bag with, so you can have easy access to them.

If it’s not a comprehensive package and you prefer to customize your trip, you will require to first plan your journey in advance. Booking tickets, accommodation, sight seeing, etc has to be done foremost. It’s also a good idea to book tickets at a time when you get the maximum discount. Some airlines offer deep discounts if you book your tickets months in advance, however, these tickets cannot be canceled. So go for it only if your plan is cast in stone! You may also need to carry extra water and food depending on where you’re planning to go, a multi tool pocket knife, maps of the places you plan to visit, extra mobile batteries, extra medicines, a pillow and blanket, etc. Remember to keep your passport safe if you’re traveling internationally. Keep a copy of your passport and other travel documents and put them in one of your bags. Don’t keep an ultra tight schedule; you never know what delays you may experience because of traffic, wrong assumptions of distances, etc. After all, you want to keep your trip pleasurable so keep sufficient free time gaps. Remember to keep extra cash and distribute it safely in various pockets and some in your locked luggage, as well as with your companions in travel.

If you’re going on a trekking trail you may require carrying a lot more with you! You never know what you may need urgently. Trekking gear consists of a range of items like hammocks, spare rope, backpacks, sleeping gear, first aide kits, extra knives, torches, DIY tents, food cans, food supplements, light load towels, headlamps, mosquito repellants, matches, stoves and gas /liquid fuel, utensils, compasses, guides, special watches equipped with barometers, altimeters, heart rate monitors and even a GPS; sunscreen lotion /moisturizer, camp shoes / sneakers, caps, etc. Its best to speak to someone who has been there and also do some research rather than just gamble on your own instincts.
