As a professional travel blogger of 8 years, let’s just say: I’ve planned a lot of trips over the years. Some for myself, many for others. From navigating night trains in Europe to crafting detailed travel guides for clients heading to Hawaii, Bali, or Iceland, I’ve learned what works (and what definitely doesn’t). After visiting 69 countries and helping others plan their dream adventures, I’ve dialed in a system that’s both efficient and fun.

Whether you’re a spontaneous traveler or someone who loves a perfectly color-coded itinerary, this step-by-step guide will help you plan a trip without the overwhelm. These are the exact strategies I use to map out memorable, meaningful journeys in 2025 and beyond.
