Andrew Aigner-MuehlerThinking about travelling?
July 26th 2007 14:38
There is a stage in everyone's life when they catch the travel bug, either as a child, school leaver, mid 20's, mid life or retirement.
There is so much organisation needed to plan, pack, get ready and get back from a holiday, at times it can very stressful. People say, you often need another holiday when you return from your holiday.
It is so important to research, not just your destination(s), but hotel, hostels, holiday apartments, guest houses, travel agents, web agents/sites, airlines and the list goes on. Not all companies have the same prices, you can get an airfare upto 80% cheaper on one site than from another site, so it is so important to check around.
The first most important thing in planning a holiday is what time of the year are you going? how long have you got for your holiday? and then is it a budget holiday? are you going by yourself, with family, with friends? are you backpacking? is it a working holiday? or a business trip?
There is one tip I give to anyone, and that is: 'if you haven't got a EU passport or ancestry or a passport of another country, leave home, and go on a working holiday overseas before the age requirements end your opportunity of experiencing the life and culture in another country. You often can learn more from an overseas employer and given more of an opportunity to learn and get a step ahead in life. Most working holiday visas end when you reach 31 years of age, and you still only get a year or two if you are lucky.'
In each new blog I will write, I will give you more and more information on how to prepare for a life time experience.
