Things I Always Check Before Booking Any Trip
Introduction
Before I book any trip — big or small — I run through a fixed checklist. These checks save money, time, and unnecessary stress.
This is not optional for me anymore.
1. Season & Weather Reality
I never rely on Instagram visuals.
I check:
- Real weather data
- Off-season risks
- Ground conditions
2. Transport Accessibility
I ask:
- How do I reach?
- What’s the last-mile situation?
- Is public transport reliable?
If reaching a place feels too complicated, I reconsider.
3. Budget Beyond Stay
I calculate:
- Daily food cost
- Local transport
- Entry fees
This avoids surprise expenses.
4. Safety & Cultural Sensitivity
I research:
- Local norms
- Dress expectations
- Solo travel safety
Respecting a place is part of traveling responsibly.
5. My Energy Level
This matters more than destination popularity.
I ask:
- Do I need rest or adventure?
- Silence or movement?
Good trips begin before booking.
