Aside from such small icon purchases, I'm not a meticulous travel planner. My fear of planning too much and then being disappointed when a plan doesn't work out is far greater than my fear of missing or forgetting something. Of course, depending on the destination, there are a few must-dos: do I need a passport, and if so, is it still valid? Do I have the necessary vaccinations? What kind of weather do I have to be prepared for in terms of clothing? This is where my meticulousness usually ends.

me for hours Photos, view videos and maps of my destination? Planning trips and tours in advance? not my thing I don't want to arrive anywhere and think: hm, somehow it looked better in the photos. Instead of leafing through travel guides for hours, I prefer to draw my own pictures in my head. And preferably while lying in my hammock and reading travel stories or travel podcasts hear The images that form in my head sometimes come very close to reality, but most of the time they are quite different. And that's good. Because then it's almost like I've traveled twice. Once in my head, from my hammock, together with the person who shares their travel experiences with me. And once in real life, with a lot of thirst for adventure, little plan - and a small symbol in my hand that marks the beginning of my journey.
