You’re Planning Your Trips Backwards — Here’s Why
Most people start trip planning with flights and hotels. Here’s why that’s backwards — and how to plan travel that actually makes you happy.

We’ve all done it — open ten tabs, compare flights, check prices, and somehow feel stressed before we even book.
But here’s the truth: you don’t plan a great trip by picking flights first — you plan it by choosing how you want to feel.
Ask yourself:
Do I want to feel rested or thrilled?
Do I need ocean waves or city lights?
Once you know that, destinations reveal themselves.
That’s why mood-based travel planning is rising fast — because travelers are done with cookie-cutter itineraries. They want meaning, not just miles.
So next time you plan a getaway, skip Google Flights for a minute.
Start with a feeling.
Then find the place that matches it.
Because the best trips aren’t the cheapest or the trendiest —
they’re the ones that feel like you.
