Establishing Travel Goals

Before planning a trip, it is essential to define what you want to achieve from the experience. Consider if the goal is to relax and unwind or to seek adventure and excitement, as this will influence your destination and activities. For instance, if you desire relaxation, a simple getaway might suffice rather than a complex multi-stop itinerary. This clarity will help set the framework for your trip and guide your decisions on where to go and what to do.
