Travel Planning
We absolutely love sharing our travel tips to help you experience unforgettable adventures. Through our own journeys, we've learned how to pack smart, plan the best routes, and discover the most beautiful – often hidden – spots. It's a real joy for us to pass on this knowledge through our blog and inspire you for your next trip!
You want to plan a trip on your own but don't really know where to start? We felt the same way when we first started! By now, we’ve planned many trips independently – whether it's road-tripping through Europe in our Jeep, exploring the Balkans with our camper, or flying off to faraway destinations.
To help you travel the world on your own terms, we’ll walk you through how we plan our trips, what we pay attention to, and the tools and tips that help us along the way.
The goal? That you’ll be able to put together your very own dream vacation – without stress, but with a whole lot of excitement!
Finding the Right Travel Destination
Before you get started, you’ll need an idea of where you want to go or what kind of experience you’re looking for. We often find inspiration through Instagram, other travel blogs, or simply by checking the weather somewhere.
Other important things to consider:
-
How long do you want to travel?
-
When do you want to go?
-
Who will be traveling with you?
-
What kind of experience are you looking for – adventure or relaxation?
-
What’s your budget for the trip?
Inspiration for Your Next Travel Destination
Koffer packen leicht gemacht
No matter if it’s a two-week road trip, a quick city getaway, or a long-haul adventure – the question “What should I pack?” always comes up. And to be honest: we’ve definitely become more experienced packers, but somehow there’s always something missing (or totally unnecessary 😅). That’s why we rely on our packing lists for every trip – customized to the type, length, and destination of our travels.
In our packing lists, you’ll find everything we actually take with us – from clothes and tech to travel documents.
Our tips:
-
Use reusable packing lists – it saves time and stress
-
Always double-check tech gear, travel pharmacy & documents last
-
Only bring what you really need
