Planning vacations can be stressful, however, eustress (beneficial stress) comes into play then. Planning 'vacays' are always a delight. What to pack? Where to go? How many clothes to carry? All of these questions need to be answered to ensure that you enjoy your little break and today, we've got you some tips to ensure just that! In all the excitement, it’s easy to overlook important things and goof up on some stuff. So, how do you ensure you’ve planned out the perfect holiday? Here are a few things to avoid...
First off, if you are travelling in a big group, give tour packages a go-ahead. The common notion is that packages are usually boring and aren’t worth it. The truth is, many tour operators and companies now customise their packages to fit the need of the traveller. So if you’re a more outdoorsy group, they can tailor make a trip that suits your needs. Next, never plan a holiday with a fixed and rigid checklist. You always need to leave a little wiggle room! Maybe some time at the beach or a nice and long trek when you feel like it!
One of the most common mistakes people make is that they pack too much or too less. While packing, think of the place you’re going to. Additionally, always look at the forecast of the place. And as fashion enthusiasts, we say...pack trendy yet comfy always. Always have a fixed plan in regards to how you’re getting to wherever it is. Last minute plans are always expensive so it helps to get a jump start and compare flights and other details to make sure you have the best deal. The foreign exchange market is a turbulent one so always go prepared with the right currency. Budget your to-be expenses and try sticking to a well-planned budget. Lastly, do your research! Whether it’s hotels, packing or flight tickets, do your research thoroughly. The place, the political situation, safety, connectivity, etc. are all important things to research while planning your trip.
