First step to traveling is finding a place to go that is both fun and budget friendly. By all means if you can afford to have someone plan your trip to Europe and back your bags, be my guest. For the rest of us that probably isn't the case. With that being said you have to learn to pick a location and transportation without breaking the bank.
After you pick a place and the way you're planning to get there, it is time to decide what you want to do while you're there. A good way to help decide what to do is visit TripAdvisor and see what they suggest for your vacation spot. Along the topic of not breaking the bank, try checking Groupon for good deals where you intend to go.
Once you have those two details squared away, it is probably getting close to the time you need to pack up and leave for your vacation! One thing I personally have a huge problem with is over packing. Every time I fly I am afraid I am going to break the weight limit with my luggage (even though I never come close). When packing think about what you NEED, not want, but NEED. You will NEED: pants, shirts, socks, shoes, etc. Once you have what you NEED you can move on to want to bring, like entertainment such as books or electronics. And above all you should be able to fit everything into your suitcase or bag. A good video to help with that is the one I have provided here.
I hope this helps anyone searching for some organization to the process! Happy vacationing,
Olivia.
