One of the best thing I have for making trips more efficient is to plan ahead as much as possible. I like to create a detailed itinerary with all of the activities I want to do and the places I want to visit.
I always make sure to bring a portable charger and download maps and information ahead of time, in case of spotty Wi-Fi or a dead battery. It’s important to have backup plans in case of unexpected situations.
One thing I like to do is to book accommodations that are centrally located, so I can easily explore the area on foot or by bike. It’s also a great way to save money on transportation.
I recommend taking breaks and allowing for downtime during the trip. It’s important to not over-schedule and to take time to relax and enjoy the experience.
For me, the key to an enjoyable trip is to be flexible and willing to deviate from the itinerary if needed. Sometimes unexpected opportunities arise, and it’s important to take advantage of them.
I always research local transportation options beforehand and try to take advantage of public transportation instead of expensive taxis or rental cars. It’s also a great way to experience the local culture.
