How to Decide where to Travel to Next

If you’re like me it is a struggle where to decide to go next. There are so many places in the world how do you choose?

1. Pinterest.com. Who doesn’t love Pinterest? Looking through the travel boards can really give you a great starting point. Looking at the Iceland pins really helped us to decide to visit Iceland. And we were not disappointed.

2. Airline Costs. This can be a HUGE factor in deciding to go somewhere. If you go to http://www.kayak.com/explore and enter the dates you would like to travel it will bring up a world map and tell you the cost to fly to several locations all over the world. This is a great resource if budget is a big deciding factor.

3. Exchange Rate. Again, if your trip comes down to budget check the exchange rates. You don’t want to go somewhere where the US Dollar doesn’t come close to their dollar. http://www.x-rates.com is a good resource to check the rates in other countries.

4. What kind of vacation do you want? Think about if you want to relax at a beach, explore a 100 year old castle, or hike through rugged terrain. This will help narrow your decision to a few locations.

5. Where did you go on your last vacation? Think about the last trip you took? Did you love it? Did you hate it? Do you want something new? Do you want something similar? Thinking about your last vacation may give you inspiration for your next.
