Our tips for organizing the perfect holiday

Plan your trips by yourself. Today it is possible! Use the internet, explore the specialized sites, study the places on Google Earth , look at the images you find on the net, read the opinions of the people who have been there and then book everything you need. Strictly online . It is not necessary to dedicate who knows how much time, but you will learn many things and you will feel like a real traveler even before leaving!

2. Check the period, check the weather
Always check which are the best times to visit the chosen destination. In Miami you go in winter, in summer in Australia, whether you like it or not! And if you are planning a weekend , don’t rush. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and especially for the closest destinations try to book at the last minute, when you are sure that there will be sun and good weather. Maybe you will spend 100 euros more for plane tickets, but a weekend in Barcelona with blue skies will not be forgotten, while in the rain you will have a bad memory.

3. Be “up to date”
Keep up to date. Restaurants, clubs, hotels… in today’s world everything changes too quickly. If a friend recommends you a trendy lounge-bar in London where he had been a few months before, finding all the English jet-set stuffing themselves with tempura, first check it on the internet if it still exists and the evaluations: without checking place a newly opened Egyptian fast food . We tell you with good reason …

Years ago in San Francisco the “in” part of the city had “retired” in a short time of a few blocks, leaving our famous hotel in the midst of homeless people and a small cluster of Pakistani shops … Unforgettable experience, especially returning late in the evening!

4. Travel fast, live hard
Traveling fast, but of quality. It is a principle that few think about. It often happens that we budget many more days than we need, spending more and risking boredom.

5. Choose a good hotel stay:

Always stay at a good hotel specially choose the one which has the good ambience and interiors. Choosing such a hotel which has Good interiors can make your itenary a memorable one. If you are visiting India, then choose Hyderabad as many of the hotels interiors are handled.

Having fewer days available pushes you to be more active and not waste the time available, making everything more intense and full of emotions. That’s your home. If, on the other hand, you don’t waste your time, sometimes even a short walk around the hotel as soon as you arrive will give you the feeling of knowing the place forever. And if you can’t visit some place you care about, it will be a good reason to come back in the future and keep the desire alive.
