Our Approach to Planning. Ten steps to the perfect trip: travel itinerary, flights, accommodations

Steve shares the 10-step framework for planning trips, from choosing destinations that truly fit to pacing days so the fun lasts. Anchors, alternation, and a single shared Google Doc turn daunting into ease without losing the spark. • choosing a destination by connection, food, climate, culture, relaxation • using guidebooks and searches to find anchor experiences • building a shared Google Doc with confirmations and backups • alternating city and country to manage energy • one main activity per day and making options optional • booking must-see sites and stays ahead to protect spontaneity • why group travel thrives in a home over hotel • flights with price alerts and regional comparisons • visas and entry rules done on official sites • revisiting and revising plans while asking locals for food Follow the podcast so you know when season two arrives Share the podcast with your friends that love to travel, even if they're just the vicarious type of traveler If Where We're Gonna Go has been fun and informative for you, please leave a review on your favorite podcast platform See pictures of the fam on their adventures on Instagram @wwggwithstevewebb If you like the theme music check our Steve's album with the links below https://open.spotify.com/album/0boqNyhBk1U1sww21uEWaD?si=RRG2ZItGSImrpIN14t_c2g https://themostfamousstevewebb.bandcamp.com/album/national-treasure Some of the drumtracks on the interstitial music were originally derived from the Pocket Queen’s New Breaks Vol 1 https://www.thepocketqueen.com/ Contact Steve: stevewebb0201@gmail.com Sample Itinerary: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UtzpCxd0WuKVkOZGtyIZG94nsf-KLO8yFMWMyXsbfGs/edit [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UtzpCxd0WuKVkOZGtyIZG94nsf-KLO8yFMWMyXsbfGs/edit]
