So you are very excited about planning your travel?
At certain point I believe that people put so much expectations on their trip, that they cannot deal with the reality of some small inconveniences. For example, think about travelling to a hotspot location. A place where everyone wants to go. Let’s think of going to Paris, Louvre Museum, in the middle of the summer, to see Leonardo DaVinci’s Monalisa. It’s definitely a great place to go for vacations! The problem is that the travel agencies want you to believe that you will have the experience all for yourself. While in fact, in the middle of the summer, every tourist wants to take a picture of this smile:
It doesn’t happen only in Paris, but every touristy destination in the world. The key for enjoying your trip without frustrations is being realistic for not falling for those travel agency propaganda. You can google for the best times for visiting for example, waking up early, and avoiding the big crowds. For example, I enjoyed visiting the Charles Bridge in Prague during the night. The bridge was empty and the darkness matches perfectly with the gothic/medieval architecture of the bridge.
Another example is travelling with a boring, stubborn person. Remember this before inviting that friend. Travelling with someone else is about spending a lot of time together. So make sure that you two can get along nicely, and you both want the same thing. If you are looking for comfort and luxury and the other person is on a budget, you will probably have to negotiate it. Always remember that you are on vacations, and there is no point freaking out over some divergences.
It’s not only for big crowds, or your travelmate, but on every place there might be some unforeseen, or some shocking cultural difference. Just read about the place you are travelling, and look for some tips. Also, have a plan B. Maybe you didn’t know that the museums were closed on mondays, but you still can enjoy a nice day in the park.
