Most trips I’ve done earlier were fully planned before starting
Our take
Cities, routes, bookings, number of days in each place
I thought that would make things easier
But after a few days it actually started feeling tiring
Not the travel itself
Just constantly thinking where next, how long, what’s the plan
At some point I stopped trying to fix everything
Started from Delhi, picked a direction and just moved
Didn’t decide how long to stay anywhere
Reached a place, stayed if it felt right, left if it didn’t
Some places were just stopovers some I stayed longer than expected
After a while I stopped thinking in terms of “how many days here”
It became more like do I feel like leaving yet or not
Surprisingly it felt much simpler
Less thinking, more clarity
Curious if anyone else has tried traveling like this
Does not planning much actually make it better?p

- Do you remember the unplanned parts of your trips more?The parts I remember the most were never planned. Usually just random stops — a place I didn’t search for, a moment that just happened. Nothing special on paper, but it stays with you more than the “main” places. It made me realize how much of travel now is about planning everything in advance. Routes, stays, timelines — trying to use time properly. On a longer trip recently, I tried something different. Instead of deciding everything beforehand, I started deciding based on how each place felt. Stayed longer where it felt right. Left early where it didn’t. It felt less efficient… but more real. Curious if others have experienced this. Do you prefer planning everything, or figuring it out as you go? submitted by /u/Sacredwildindia [link] [comments]
- I miss the feeling my first trips gave meLately I’ve realized something that feels weird to admit. I’m 35 now and traveling has been one of the biggest passions of my life since I was young. Over the years I’ve traveled solo, with friends, and now also as a couple. I’ve been to 39 countries and in a few of them I actually stayed long enough to really live there, not just visit. And recently I noticed something changed. I still absolutely love traveling. I still get excited before a trip. But the feeling isn’t the same as it used to be during my first years traveling. Back then everything felt intense. New country, new culture, new language, even arriving at an airport felt exciting. I remember getting this crazy feeling of freedom and discovery that’s honestly hard to describe. Now it’s like my brain became too used to novelty. Beautiful places are still beautiful, but they don’t always hit me with that same “holy shit” feeling anymore. And honestly I kind of miss that version of travel. It’s strange because I’m not tired of traveling at all. I think I just became harder to impress without wanting to. Would genuinely love to hear from people who traveled a lot and experienced the same thing at some point. submitted by /u/DRConsulting [link] [comments]
