My husband and I want to go on a vacation to celebrate our fifth anniversary, so we appreciate your tips. I like how you mentioned the importance of choosing a destination that stands out to you. I think that it would also be important for my husband and I to go through a great airport so that we start and end our trip on a high note.

Hi Rachel! Your post is so comprehensive and has such great planning tips. I really appreciate how you break everything down and make it all so clear. I love your style of writing and your pictures as well. Planning the trips I go on (or want to go on) is one of my favorite parts too!

I love this! All of your points are necessary in planning any kind of trip, whether it’s to another country or the next state over. I think the most important point is #1: sometimes our wishes and dream destinations are bigger than our wallets!

Great advice. I’m planning a trip at the moment and stressing like crazy! The hardest part for me is actually making a decision on what I want to do, once I’ve decided I love planning the rest.

I just Found your blog, it’s so amazing and inspiring, I am currently looking to travel to India but since I will travel alone I got some second thoughts, mostly from being scared since I have only traveled alone in Europe ( I am from Sweden) and it’s not quite the same! But your blog is inspiring and giving me more confidence to travel! Thank you:) May I ask where you are now? Still in India?

my idea is just pack your bags and go beyond your thinking, always surprise yourself with new places.The most important thing that travel has taught me is how to enjoy the moment.

I understand that some people might feel stressed about the planning process. However, for me, I relish in it – I enjoy experimenting ideas and looking for possible destinations or activities by city. But for those who might be stressed out, these recommendations provide a definitive action plan!
