Do you organize your departures and arrivals to the exact minute, or do you leave plenty of room for spontaneity to flow? While creating trip itineraries, we all have our different methods of planning. There is something extraordinary about imagining the adventure ahead and putting it into action. This requires a fair balance between the known and unknown hours of a trip. This week, we want to focus on the tug-of-war between these two sides of travel and how you prepare for them.
Join us and the Passion Passport community this Thursday 8/25 at 2pm EST to exchange travel planning tips and share success stories of both structure and spontaneity!
