How to plan your vacation using travel tip and technology

Looking for advice on how to plan your vacation? We are here to help. Experts in vacation planning we are not. But we may have a tip or two that could make your planning experience go a little smoother.

A how-to guide

To help you , we’ve put together a “How to Guide” for planning a trip. It is not comprehensive, but it is a good place to start if you are just starting to plan your vacation. And if you have never traveled internationally before, we recommend these 10 tips for first-time travelers.

Take advantage of technology

Technology has forever changed the way we travel. We can barely remember the days of pre-internet travel. And although we can remember the days of pre-smartphone travel, they are fading fast.

Technology changes quickly, but we currently like to use tools like Trello to aid in travel planning and we have a preferred list of websites we use to plan our trips. And for now, the pros and cons of these travel apps are still relevant. As technology changes and we continue to travel, we will try to share what works and what doesn’t work out on the road.
