Getting things started

Okay, you have resolved to have a trip abroad this year. What next? You might think, the answer is Budget. And we say No! Rather, think for the 3 Ws.

Think of why do you want to travel. Is to relish the serenity of nature or to make those amazing photo memories on a foreign land.

Also, decide on when and how long you are ready to travel. For instance, Summers are associated with vibrance and are a good time to plan with kids of school-going age. Winters could be for the adventure freaks out there. And, for the loner dotties, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn might fit perfectly well. At this point you may have more than one destination in mind, like, Europ

When it comes to thinking of where to hit the road, it will always help to have a goal in mind that serves as an anchor to your trip. It can be anything from going for that annual beach party or watching the Wimbledon or your favourite band performing, to doing an Instagram tour of that exotic place you have been dreaming of. One can go without a goal in mind too, but having a goal helps you in deciding your travel dates early on, which in turn helps in booking tickets early with enough time left for planning. A simple google search will yield you the results of events happening during your visit.

Viola! you have the destination and the dates sorted.

With what, where and when having been decided, your duration of stay will depend primarily on your trip budget. It is important at this point of time to decide on the budget.
