planning
Sometimes the most stressful time of a trip is planning it. But I got you covered with budgeting and saving tips, my travel itineraries, best travel gear and apps as well as and plans for the year ahead.
I can’t wait to get you inspired and excited and, most importantly, PREPARED for travelling. Budgeting and finances can always be a bit daunting, so I’m going to share my trip budgets with you so you can see how I keep track of money and how I plan for what I’ll need to spend.
Travel gear is another important one. Being a blogger, I have to take a fair bit of gear with me including cameras, lenses and tripods as well as gadgets like portable wifi and blue tooth camera switches, but even a simple packing list can be daunting for some people.
I also want to share my travel itineraries and travel plans with you so you can see where I’m going to and where I’ve been recently.
And finally, one of my biggest sources for inspiration is reading books about travelling or destinations and watching TV shows or movies that feature a certain destination. I’ll share my favourites with you here as well.
