As the popularity of travel continues to grow across age groups, vacations have become a part of our yearly calendars. While everyone wants to go the distance, planning for it may seem overwhelming, especially for international destinations.

“There is a lot of prep that goes into planning any vacation, especially if I am trying to not overspend.

The 28-year-old has visited 32 countries over the past 10 years and swears by her meticulous planning.

The digital nomad started his travel adventures with a life-changing trip to South America in 2008 and is currently working as a UI and UX designer, blogger and community builder. He shares, “Failing to plan is planning to fail, it is said - so if you’re travelling independently, do your research and keep backup plans as well. From keeping multiple cards and spare cash on you at all times, to having emergency contacts upfront on your phone, you can never be prepared enough.”
