Probably you have started making your day-to-day itinerary months ahead of your trip. A thorough itinerary may help many travelers remain organized, but has both its pros and cons.
For business travelers who must remain on schedule, an itinerary is very good. For travelers that are traveling to another part of the planet, an itinerary may be more of the burden than a gain.
Is this true? Save some time and discover why traveling with an itinerary or none at all is better for the recreational excursions that might be the most memorable.
Stress to beat the time. Making itinerary plans and sticking to it might stress you. The fact that you spent most thinking about time than appreciating your time being in another location send you out in a context where you should be having fun and spontaneous. The upside is that you get to know where to go and when to go so that you can visit other tourist destinations as well.
Meanwhile, having an impromptu trip might be enjoyable as you don't get to restrict yourself into a certain schedule. But sadly, you don't get to visit all the cool places. And after visiting a hot spot, you may wonder where to go to next and you're wasting precious time.
How to explore the city. Let's take it this way, you can't explore all parts of the city all day. When sticking to making plans, you only get to choose what you want to visit. If you're on an impromptu visit, you just want to be there and take in everything. But your unplanned trip could turn to be disastrous if you just walk into a location not knowing the culture or expectations of that region.
A fight with different types of people. If you're in a group, the best way to have control and management is to set a plan. Some may grumble and murmur behind your back, but they see sense why a plan should be made. If grouped together with people who want spontaneity, better have them dispersed than be in a group. They can go their own ways if they want to travel on their own terms.
There's nothing wrong with making plans or having an impromptu travel. Each person is different. What works for them might not work for others. Theirs is their own consequences.
