19 Tips for Taking the Trip of a Lifetime
Budget carefully… before you go
Nothing ruins pleasant memories like an unpleasant bill. Research prices carefully, long before your trip. Budget for your flight, your accommodations, your food, your excursions, and add a healthy amount for those unknowables and unavoidables. Allow for a splurge here or there.
As always, be honest with yourself: Will your hotel just be a place to sleep and store your luggage, or do you plan to make it your home away from home? Is food a means of sustenance or is it an experience all its own? Are you satisfied with seeing the Sagrada Familia from the outside, or must you absolutely wander its interior?
Answering these questions and the like will help guide your budget and ensure you spend your money on the things that truly matter to you.
