✈️ Why I Love Planning My Own Travels: More Than Just Itineraries

There’s something magical about planning a trip. I don’t just travel — I plan every detail of the itinerary, and that process alone fills me with anticipation and excitement. Researching online, reading blogs, watching videos — they all make the destination come alive even before I arrive.

But no matter how many pictures I see or how many reviews I read, nothing compares to experiencing a place in person. Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

You can’t fully judge a destination through someone else’s lens — you need to walk its streets, meet its people, and feel its atmosphere yourself. Because often, it’s not just the attraction that makes a place extraordinary — it’s the whole experience:

💛 The locals’ warm smiles
🏞️ The hidden corners you didn’t expect
👫 The people you’re traveling with

There’s a special kind of joy in being in a place that’s not your own. You forget about the heat of the sun, the weight of your luggage, or the ache in your legs — because you just want to see and experience everything in the short time you have.

And when the trip ends? That’s another kind of happiness:

Looking back at the photos, remembering the places I’ve been — some of which I never even dreamed I’d see — and feeling proud of each adventure.

That’s why I love to travel. And even more, that’s why I love planning my travels.
