Sitting down to plan a trip can be one of the most exciting things to do, but it can also be one of the most daunting. Travel forums, Facebook groups, guidebooks and blogs await online to douse you with information, sometimes even conflicting information. So once you have your destination in mind, where do you go from there?
First, stick to the big names in trusted travel. Established travel outlets, like trazeetravel.com, Frommers and Fodor’s are usually the best places to start as the writers come with years of experience and are (for the most part) honest in their advice. Dig a bit deeper into forums which offer not only personal advice from travelers who visited your desired destination, but some of which contain itineraries and diaries from those who followed a similar route or activity plan.
Second, search for organized tours on sites like TripAdvisor and Viator. You don’t have to actually book the tours, but the list of search results can give you an idea of what there is to see and do in that location and allows you to explore it on your own without having to pay for the tour service.
Lastly, be wary of blogs. Bloggers can have great insight into generic travel tips, but when mentioning specific services, restaurants or other travel-related brands, they may have received compensation for these promotions. Check for an affiliate disclaimer at the beginning or bottom of each post to confirm.
