Organisation
Being a natural organiser you will have an itinerary of where to go and what to do. Well informed and research done.
Once the trip is confirmed, you can relax. The ultimate goal for travellers is to have a nice relaxing, enjoyable vacation. Right?
Planners save money
You’ll save big money. Anyone with the organisational DNA, will book before they leave. This ridiculously simple act saves big money.
Booking early means you can get discounts on flights, hotels, car, tours and more. You pay in local money, so you save on currency conversion.
Everything is paid for. The only thing left to decide is how much spending money to take!
If you aren’t doing this why not? Give it a try, I know you can do it!
Back-up plan ready
You are prepared for the unexpected. You take out travel insurance. The planner has a ‘plan B’ just in case. You know who to contact if in trouble.
The security from planning gives you peace of mind. You are prepared if disaster strikes and know what to do next.
