All travelers have their own approach, which they use to get real joy and pleasure from the trip. Someone likes unpredictability, which gives him ease and a feeling of complete freedom, and the other can not even imagine a successful vacation without a pre-made plan and consistency. In this article, we will deal with the main points of how to make a travel plan on your own? We start with choosing the term of the vacation, country/city.
Further actions will be seen after you decide on this point. As practice shows, 14 days of vacation will even be enough to visit every corner of the country and consider them.
Regarding the country, everyone depends on their preferences and budget, but if you are just a novice tourist, it is better to start with a closer and simpler country – in terms of language, mentality and way of life.
Finances for traveling
Thinking about the budget it is necessary to study what kind of payment is acceptable in a particular country, what currency is there (it is better to have cash and a card). Although the euro is not popular in all European countries, but in many hotels and stores they are still accepted. Finance is better to calculate with a small reserve, in case something goes wrong.
You will need them for: transportation, accommodation, food, souvenirs, and other expenses, depending on where you want to visit. You can find out the approximate cost of what you need in advance, using the Internet.
Itinerary and sights
Your assistant is a map. In order not to waste time on unnecessary movements, look at the distance between the sights. Mark out the time (with a margin) you will take to see each place.
On your device, you can mark in the map all the interesting places you want to visit, hotel, as well as cities. When all the marks are ready (you can change their color), use the route building function to connect the cities with one short line, and then you can schedule on what day and in what city you will rest.
The route can be circular (start and finish in one place), as well as linear, when the finish in a different place. Which one you choose depends on the country you are traveling to and your convenience.
Ways of traveling to each place
So that during your vacation you don’t have to look for what to get to the right place by, you can figure it out in advance. Find out the available transportation options where you’re going. Here are the most basic ones – hitchhiking, buses, renting a car.

Tourists are divided, if there are two vacationers, it is more profitable for them to travel by bus, if from 3 to 5 people, then in a bargain is an excellent option – rent a car.
So, we’ve covered the four basic steps in how to make a travel plan. You can incorporate these ideas into your plan, then your trip will be well thought out and successful!
