Seven Secrets You Will Not Want To Know About How I Plan My Travel

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."

I guess there is no perfect travel plan at all.

People tend to do planning ahead of time and it takes a lot of effort and time to be honest.

It is pretty normal that you want to have a perfect itinerary when you travel because not all of us have the opportunity to travel anytime we want.

In today's topic, I would love to share with you some of my secrets on how I plan my travel that I suppose not to tell you at all.

This topic is requested by Quinn of Qustom Quinns

Well, here are the seven secrets you will not want to know about:

(1) I KEEP AND TRACK MY TRAVEL SAVINGS

Literally, I save my travel money in a money organizer which I bought online.

I am also tracking it on my system(excel) and make sure to have weekly savings for this.

Since today is now electronic, we tend to purchase items using our card so I usually cash it out and have it separated in a secure place so I won't have a chance to use that money.

(2) I LOVE NOTIFICATIONS

I know this is sometimes annoying on our mailbox especially spam ones.

In here, I always make sure that I subscribe to airlines/travel agencies/hotels/booking app when they have sale or promos so I can make sure to score great deals ahead of time.

(3) I DO STUDY THE PLACE WHERE I WILL BE TRAVELING

Well, I have a problem with my OC's behavior.

I always make sure to be knowledgeable about that place beforehand so I will not be that much foreign especially if it's my first time visiting that place.

I sometimes do research and do a survey of those people who've been there already.

(4) I CHANGE ITINERARY

I know this is not a good thing for the tour coordinator/guide but I think itinerary is an itinerary, I mean it's the normal spot or place people are visiting they actually visit.

I sometimes go to places people don't usually go.

In this, I can have a wider scope and I will know more about the place I visited.

(5) I ALWAYS PAY IN CASH

Whether it's paying the bill in a restaurant or purchasing a souvenir, I tend to pay in cash because since it's widespread about the cybersecurity.

I am afraid that somebody might steal my card details so for security, I always pay in cash even sometimes for a hotel.

(6) I BRING MY WHOLE LIFE WITH ME(not that literally)

This is one of my challenges when traveling that even the place that I will visit is domestic or international, I tend to bring a lot though I didn't have an experience that I over baggage.

I usually have a weighing scale with me so I can track it down.

Well, I think you can actually bring all the things you want in your baggage but it just needs a proper planning and proportion.

For example a 3 days/2 nights trip, I always make sure to plan the outfits that I will wear and also taken advantage of those outfits that you can mix n' match.

(7) I AM DEMANDING

I would not want you to know about this but hey this topic is about this so I'll give it a go then.

My powerful OC-ness triggers myself to be demanding.

I always have a comment whether good or bad in a restaurant, hotel, airline or what so ever.

I think that is a good thing for improvement and besides, nobody's perfect.

How do you find my secrets?

Are you also guilty of some of them?

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for reading.
