There are two types of travellers; the travel planner and the play by ear or spontaneous traveller. Each good in their own way, but big benefits come from having a plan. Travel preparation means you have everything organised versus the unknown and working it out as you go.
Here are 5 reasons you should be a travel planner; organisation, money saving, back up plan, trip enjoyment and because you’re awesome!

Organisation
Being a natural organiser you will have an itinerary of where you are going and what you are doing. Well informed, prepared and completed all research ahead of time.
Once the trip is confirmed and booked, you can relax. The ultimate goal for travellers is to have an enjoyable vacation. Right?
Planners save money
Planners 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 foreign currency conversion.
Everything is paid for. The only thing left to decide is how much spending money and belongings 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 you get into trouble.
The security from planning gives you peace of mind. You are as prepared as you can be if disaster strikes. You know what to do next and who to contact.
