Research and prepare an itinerary: this will help you have the rough idea of what exactly it is that you are going for, what to expect and what you can achieve. After settling on places, plan an itinerary for the sake of order. It will allow you to save up on time and give you peace while you are on the trip.

Plan ahead: This could be months before or up to a year. Institutions are run in an order that could be extremely strict. For you to get the time slots you wish for, early booking is key. This is also during the time which everything is priced slightly lower or even up to half the normal price, including flights and accommodation.
Set aside time to roam; by yourself or in a smaller group. This is for your own satisfaction. A larger group will not always have the same sentiments about every other detour. If you find yourself alone, don’t be afraid to go explore by yourself.

Document your trip: these are places you have dreamt of going to and cameras have been made for a reason. Take a few minutes to take pictures and videos for keeps sakes or for sharing. The memories can bring you joy when you feel low or spark an inspiration.
Live in the moment: Put the camera I the bag and experience being present. All your senses aware of your surroundings. Appreciate it and be thankful for the moment. Not everything will go your way, but at least you are at your dream destination and that is a good thing to focus on. Don’t stress on the could haves and should haves. Just live.
