How should I choose my next destination
One of the important skills that we need to work on is choosing the right destination for our trip. Well we live only once with numerous cities and countries to see and choose from. So it’s safe to say that we need to prioritize according to our taste and preference. If you are planning to travel to Iran, we suggest not to miss Damavand tour. you can book Iran cycling tour to enjoy Damavand mountain better.
What kind of traveling do you like?
Are you looking forward to a backpacking trip or more convenient one? Do you want to have some sightseeing or want to camp in the jungle and mountain? Want to get familiar with different and new culture, art and traditions or just prefer to have some relaxing time at the beach? There is no right or wrong answer to these questions. You just need to figure out which one you are leaning to more.
How much time do you have?
Considering the amount of time you have, you must be able to choose a destination accordingly. Do you have just a long weekend or you can travel for 2 weeks? If you don`t have much time, you better go somewhere nearby and discover new spots of that place.
Who are you traveling with?
Are you planning on traveling alone or with family and friends? Traveling with or without a partner or friend can affect your plans hugely. Sometimes you want to discover the new places all by yourself but sometimes you just join a tour and don`t have the trouble of planning. When traveling with friends or family first make sure that everyone is on the same page then start planning.
Which season is the best for traveling?
For traveling to some places you don`t have much of an option since the weather condition can be limiting but if you don`t care about the weather and can endure hot or cold weather easily then you will have many options and your time frame can expand. Also have this in mind that some places like Japan in spring have magnificent nature and you better go when those heavenly scenes are available.
What is your budget?
You should be able to cover these expenses:
- Transportation
- Accommodation
- Food
- Entertainment and sightseeing
- Souvenir and shopping
You better search about these expenses online and have a ballpark of how much money you need. For cutting some expenses you can book your flight and hotel room 1-2 months prior. In addition if you cannot make up your mind between two cities, maybe looking at the prices and comparing the costs can help you.
How much do you know about the destination?
Absolutely search enough about your destination online and have a mental image of where you are going to. Have a general itinerary and stick to it and also be sure to have some blank timetable to fill them with spontaneous ideas. Have a list of acceptable restaurants and shops in mind. Also reading about the online comments of other travelers can be a game changer.
