Getting the 2019 travel plans started!

So 2019 is just around the corner now and it always gets me excited for another chance to plan my travels for the year. I love to travel and experience different places and cultures, I’ve been quite a few places across the globe but there’s still so much out there to explore.

One of my favourite destinations has to be the USA. There’s so much variety in just one country. Where is everyone’s favourite travel destinations? Why are they your favourite?

When I travel I prefer to visit a destination as a local rather than a tourist (much as though I will visit the main tourist attractions if it’s my first time in a place). I’d always loved the thought when I was younger of emigrating and living abroad, I still do if I’m honest. I like to get the feel of what it would be like to live in a place as a local, so like to try Air BnB now when I go away to see what the housing is like in place and not in a hotel environment.

Planning out my travels takes me a great deal of time because I do quite a bit of research into what I’d like to see when I’m there, prices, what the accommodations are like. I spend time reading reviews on places and restaurants and am also a big advocate of trip advisor, I use it a lot. I make an itinerary to make sure I can fit in everything that I want to see in the time that I am going to be there.

At the moment I’ll be visiting Las Vegas but hope to add on a few more destinations before the end of the year. I seem to prefer the west of the USA as opposed to the east. It seems a lot more chilled and relaxed whereas the east always struck me as overly busy and stressful. What’s people’s thoughts?
