Travel notes

Starting out

How to begin before choosing a destination

Start with dates, who is going and how you want the days to feel.

Write down what you already know

Dates, the people travelling or simply wanting snow can already be enough to begin.

Do not force an answer for the parts you do not know. Clear limits are often more useful than a random destination.

Then think about the days

Would you rather have long days or more time left open? Move between cities or stay longer in one place?

Once the pace is clear, choosing the place is often much easier.

Didn't answer yours? Just ask.

You don't need it worked out first. One question is enough.
