Creating an Itinerary from Zero
October 11, 2022 | Travel Logistics
When you’re looking at a blank calendar or a map of an entire region (or planet!), it can be hard to figure out where to go and when.
Looking back at my own strategies over the years, I’ve identified a number of different approaches that can help you flesh out a plan.
You can start with:
- Destination(s)
- Dates or events
- Sharing your ideas with others to see what opportunities arise
- Coordinating with others’ plans
If those aren’t helping or you still have a lot of empty space on your calendar, consider:
- Is there anywhere you need/want to go for a specific date or time of year?
- Do any friends or family have travel plans you want to coordinate with?
- Are there any big events (weddings, reunions, births, conferences, festivals, etc.) coming up that you don’t want to miss?
Check out this post for even more ideas.
I hope this helps and I can’t wait to hear where you go next!
Hi, I’m Amy!
I’ve been location-independent since 2004, and after bouncing all over the world I’m currently based in central Mexico with my husband and our twin preschoolers. I founded Nomadtopia to help you create—and thrive in—the location-independent lifestyle that’s right for you.
