Minnesota, Minneapolis - Report by Addison. Today, we will give information about How to Plan an international travel-3 tips to design your dream vacation .
so you have decided to take the first international trip (or the first international trip that doesn't involve a business or a cruise line) and you have chosen a country to go to, but now, how can you find out what to see and where to go in the country?
you do not want to come home from the store tour and read about honey restaurants that you missed eating, hidden treasures that you didn't know anything about, secret piazzas where you had the best coffee in the world, amazing sights that were close to where you were.

here are some ways to help you source out what to see and do when you plan your journey.
3 ways to plan your international trip
1.) Reading books
with my love of Italy I always read books by people who bought homes there and built a life in a lovely little town. My first was Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes, and I have read many many more since then. (See the reading list here )

you will find out about the cool little places to visit, incredibly non-touristy restaurants where the locals eat, special places that the tours will take you to never. I make lists that I read, and then fit the bits and pieces into the different trips I go on. It is fabulous!
2. Read travel blogs
I love to spend the morning with a cup of coffee, browse through travel blogs to read about " really someone else's " travel. Here you will find fantastic information on places to avoid, what things cost, incredible places to visit that are not found in any guide books-all these wonderful insider tips that you can only learn from someone who has done it themselves. I get the best, best information from travel blogs!

put together a Visual collection of things that interest you in, or if a country , it is sailing in the Greek Islands, looking at Capri, Gaudi in Barcelona-what it is-will start to guide you in the right direction to design the trip of a lifetime.
also there is magic in the vision Board and mood Board. Spend time with them everyday seems to bring you closer to your goals, faster.
