For a long journey, travel planning can take months. Sometimes people ask me if they can look over my shoulder as I make my travel plans, so now I am inviting you to do so. I will be sharing, in step-by-step fashion, how I make my way from dream to travel in a series of articles entitled, “Look Over My Shoulder.”
As the planning progresses, I create a number of personalized documents that will become indispensable once travel begins:
- a text document containing the core and details of my itinerary and includes links to booking sites and travel articles
- a route map
- a calendar
- spreadsheets to help me keep track of budgets, actual expenses, and logistical data
I will share what these documents look like, so you can duplicate any part of the process that you find useful.
