How To Plan A Trip: Choosing a Destination, Finding Hidden Gems, and More

There’s so much to see and do all around the globe. You can take beach vacations, outdoor excursions, cultural experiences, long road trips, big group party trips, a budget trip, van life adventures, visit loved ones or to see a particular site. It can be overwhelming to narrow down when to go, where to go, how long and what to do when you actually arrive. 

With Ceara’s background as a travel producer and Allison’s experience traveling to 20+ countries, we wanted to talk about where we begin with our trip planning process. 

We give tips on figuring out travel times, how we find hidden gems, booking flights, credit cards, insurance, weather, travel companions, budgets, and accommodations.
