"To travel is to meet oneself in another." - Antoine Arnault

Stage 1: Defining Goals

Purpose of the Trip?

[ Perhaps you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and seek solitude on Phi Phi Island, or maybe on the contrary, you dream of exploring the madness of Bangkok or the bustling New York. ]

What am I expecting from the trip?

[ Describe your vision of the upcoming journey. ]

Three words describing what I want to gain:

[ Delight? ] [ Cultural shock? ] [ Tears of happiness? ]

Budget

[ Travel is the one thing you buy that makes you richer." - Ellen Glasgow ]

Location

[ Sometimes it takes very little to find yourself where you want to be. ]

Stage 2: Preparation
