Maybe you like the idea of backpacking around Asia? Or city-hopping across Europe? Maybe you love the idea of sea experiences and boat tours? The world is your oyster and you\u2019re ready to see it. There\u2019s a lot to think about then, but there are things that everyone forgets when they are planning such a trip. Take a look at our guide to stay on the right track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Spreadsheet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously. Start a spreadsheet. If you\u2019re considering a long vacation where you have to keep moving, you\u2019ve got a lot to keep track of. You\u2019re going to have lots of travel details to keep track of. Flight times, train times, accommodation locations, directions and addresses, and for the fun of it a highlights list of everywhere you\u2019re going. Add a little checklist that goes like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.uk\/Attraction_Products-g187791-a_contentId.40090208292+677247506-Rome_Lazio.html+\">Rome<\/a>: Vatican City, La Pieta, Colosseum\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is also work to think about. You will have to plan ahead on odd jobs: cleaning, farming, hospitality, etc. If you\u2019ve not got your trip bankrolled by a mysterious generous billionaire, chances are you have work details to keep a hold of too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brilliance of having everything at your fingertips in a smartphone is that you can look at and update your spreadsheet on the go, or even download an app that will keep track of your travel details for you. There is always your calendar too, but that can be a little overwhelming once you input one or two details. You might need something more hardworking, like a spreadsheet.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Adopt a plan as you go approach<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we would say, there are things you should plan ahead and things to leave until closer to the time. If you are doing a year-long trip and you intend to keep moving, we would suggest you plan three months ahead. If you have a business brain you might even like splitting your holiday into quarters. Q1: Europe, Q2: Africa, Q3: Asia, etc. And we mean your travel and accommodation three months ahead can wait. If this is a \u201chostels and friends\u2019 sofas\u201d kind of trip anyway, you might need to be as rushed about planning what you might want to or you could instead take advantage of last-minute deals in places like Booking.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other things like travel insurance must be planned or taken out in advance. As not policies will kick in with immediate effect and you might not have the cover if you lose your items, or if your flight is cancelled. All of that can be covered with travel insurance and can make a stressful situation a lot easier. As an example, have a look at one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysure.co.uk\/annual-travel-insurance\/\">Staysure<\/a> policies to find one that suits your needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Help from friends<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have notice we mentioned friends\u2019 sofas as an accommodation option. It\u2019s a good way to keep the costs down. There are opportunities to <a href=\"https:\/\/talesofabackpacker.com\/how-to-find-the-best-backpacker-accommodation\/\">work for room and board<\/a>, but the best options are through friends, friends of friends, family friends , etc. You\u2019ll have a trusted contact and your costs and drastically reduced while you are travelling. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Book activities early\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing you want to do when travelling is arrive to certain countries and find that you can\u2019t actually do anything. There are many popular activities, such as boat tours and sea experiences, that are always in demand. Some people even go on <a href=\"https:\/\/canalrivertrust.org.uk\/enjoy-the-waterways\/boating\/boating-news-and-views\/boating-blogs-and-features\/nine-reasons-to-take-a-boating-holiday-this-year\">boating holidays<\/a> so they can travel across different areas over time. To ensure you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/nl\/\">book boat tours<\/a> at various countries you\u2019re visiting, you should book slots ahead of time. This is the case for any other activities that you want to engage on. You don\u2019t have to have a rigorous plan in place and live by a strict timeframe, but book the exciting activities, such as boat tours, ahead of time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\u00a0","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29358,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[],"tags":[833],"destination":[],"class_list":["post-29357","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-travel-tips"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Planning A Year of Travel: How To Organise For An Unforgettable Year<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/nl\/blog\/planning-a-year-of-travel-how-to-organise-for-an-unforgettable-year\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"nl_NL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Planning A Year of Travel: How To Organise For An Unforgettable Year\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Have you got a long-haul trip in mind?
