It’s a good book Organizing your thoughts seems to get harder everyday since we’re all becoming multi-multi-taskers. Seeing things on paper makes any plan seem less daunting I think.

Agree so much with yout tip “From Your Head To Paper” — I’m a big fan of lists (and highly recommend the book ‘Getting Things Done’). One thing that helped Kathryn and I visualize our trip was to buya big map from Rand McNally, pin it up on the wall, and start jabbing map pins into everyhwere we wanted to see!

Hi Saben. Traveling the world is a big endeavor and undertaking. It’s easy to get overwhelmed without putting a plan into place. Even a rough sketch can really take a big mental load off. Plus the plan doesn’t leave once you’re gone it can help you navigate around all of the unforeseen things that invariably happen.

We spent years planning out our trip and it was a blast. I think planning our trip was the only thing that kept us sane. Its a lot of work and things never, ever, go as planned. But having a baseline and letting everything else fall in where ever it does gives you the freedom with a little control over the chaos.

Hi Monito, I’m glad you found me as well!

I just read an article by http://jetsetcitizen.com about ‘and’ people (which I am one myself). It’s hard to decide because we want to do it all There are so many places to choose from…

I’d say start with a continent or part of the world. Let me know how it goes and what you decide on

p.s. no worries about typos!

I stumbled across this website and I’m glad I’ve found it!

I am trying to figure out where I’m going to travel to and I’ve found I’ve changed my mind at least 4 times now. V. frustraing! I do know that I’d like to be away for about 2 months, resigned from my job just over 1 week ago! I prefer more the adventure type location than the beach. I was thinking of Nepal for some trekking etc, and then I found out today its the Monsoon season, dry season starts October, so that’s off the list for now.

I am an inexperienced traveller so I find myself over-researching… I don’t count having been to Chile 5 times as ‘real’ travel, as my parents are Chilean, we have family there and I’ve never travelled on my own there…

I do like the idea of Machu Micchu, Peru though

Great ideas, although I’ve tried the dart idea and always ended up in the middle of the Atlantic I really like these tips though, having fun is what it’s all about and I hate over-planning too!
