Travel Planning

“He who would travel happily must travel light.”

Travel Planning, providing tips and suggestions for planning any trip, anywhere, anytime. These are best practices that work in almost any travel situation, such as packing light, finding snacks, and staying safe. There is so much to keep up with before, during, and after your trip, and things that may seem obvious may not come to mind while you’re trying to process a lot of new information while jet lagged or hangry.

While being based in Germany, we have taken the opportunity to travel as much as possible. This forced us to quickly become efficient and organized in planning and packing for trips. Frustrations certainly can come up during travel (looking at you, Deutsche Bahn), but following key tips can help make a journey fabulous.
