How to Plan a Trip: The Complete Framework
A step-by-step framework for planning any trip: set constraints, shortlist destinations, validate budget and timing, then build the day-by-day plan with confidence.
About this page
Most trips go wrong long before departure — a destination chosen for the wrong season, a budget missing its largest line item, or an itinerary packed past what the group can sustain. This framework fixes the order of operations: constraints first, destination shortlist second, budget and timing validation third, and only then the day-by-day plan.
