Choosing the right destination: Are you aiming for a relaxing vacation where you soak up the summer sun? Or are you more interested in sightseeing and culture? Whatever activities you prefer, consider the climate and weather as well. Some locations are great in the summer, and some are best during other seasons.
Planning your itinerary: Plan a few activities, but leave room for spontaneity as well. Even if you love staying busy, having some built-in downtime to recharge is nice. Overscheduling can turn a fun trip into a drag.
Health considerations: If you have any travel-specific health concerns, discuss them with your doctor ahead of time. In addition to packing your medications, it’s a good idea to carry a list of your medications, dosages, and your doctor’s contact information.
Travel insurance: Consider investing in travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, lost luggage, and 24/7 emergency assistance.
Safety and security: Share your itinerary with family or friends and check in regularly.
Staying comfortable: Stretch and move around regularly during long flights or drives. Stay hydrated, and pack plenty of healthy snacks to keep yourself refreshed.
Explore like a local: Tourist destinations are fun for a reason, but locals know the community best. Ask for restaurant recommendations and activity suggestions so you can find opportunities to venture off the beaten path. Don’t forget to snap plenty of photos!
