🇬🇧 How to plan your next trip
There’s a long time I travel alone and plan my trips. I like the freedom to choose where to go and when. I like to choose my companions, too, as, through the internet I’m able to cultivate friendships and acquaintances worldwide and each destination give me opportunity to meet these people.
I know some people prefer travel agencies and many could travel more if they knew what I’ll share in this post. I think if you know where you want to go, you probably have some idea about what you consider interesting in that place.
The steps below consider you know where you want to go. They can also be used for trips with multiple destinations. For these, follow the steps for each destination, then put the destinations in order. I consider you know how many days you can stay, but if you have a free schedule, you can follow the steps too.
- To start, each city have some place you must go, that place every tourist must know when visiting that destination. Small towns which are not famous as touristic destinations have these places too. If you go to a city like this and know nothing about it, Google and social media can be helpful to discover something. Follow this blog and you’ll find some options, too. You don’t need to list everything. It’s just the base.
- List, then, the hotels fitted to your standards in that city. I recommend you to focus on those close to the places you want to go.
- Does the hotel have a restaurant? You can have your meals there. Or you can include bars, restaurants, coffee shops and other local options in your plan. List the options that interest you.
- Include cultural activities and leisure.
- Have some extra time for contretemps and be prepared to improvise, to be flexible about your plans.
- If it’s a business trip, prepare for leisure. You won’t miss the chance to go to a cocktail, a party or other event because you don’t have appropriate clothing in your luggage, right? You don’t need to put your closet inside the luggage, please!
- Now, based on the time you have available, use a calendar app and start creating the final plan, organising where to go and when, daily. Calculate the time to go from a place to another, considering the possibility of delay. I suggest you to create plans going to various places close to one another, then going to another region when the options of the first are all included (or as many as you consider priorities). It saves your time.
- Book the hotel you prefer, according to your standards. If you’d like to stay in the best hotel in town and it’s far from many activities you planned, observe the time to go from the hotel to your activities.
- It’s possible you cannot include everything you listed in your final plan, if you have limited time. Prioritise what it’s more important. A show or presentation in theatre, which is exhibited during a short period must be priority compared to something you can see anytime you go there. If you’re fortunate to include everything, that’s better!
- With the detailed plan in hands, decide how you’ll travel. Car, bus, train, airplane, etc are options. Then buy the tickets.
- Now, prepare your luggage. I recommend you to include few items you can match in different styles. Verify the climate on the destination a few days before the trip so you won’t be surprised.

🇧🇷 Como criar seu roteiro de viagem
- Para começar, toda cidade tem algum lugar imperdível, aquele ponto que é obrigatório para turistas. Cidades pequenas e que não sejam destinos turísticos conhecidos também têm lugares assim, mas se vai para uma cidade com este perfil e não conhece nada a respeito, Google e mídias sociais podem ser muito úteis para descobrir algo. Então, pense em um ou mais lugares que deseja ir em seu destino. Não é para criar o roteiro todo. É só para ter uma base de que região da cidade é mais próxima da maior parte destes pontos e selecionar hotéis ou outra forma de hospedagem que facilitem seu deslocamento.
- Liste, então, os hotéis que atendam seus padrões. Concentre-se nas opções próximas dos destinos que listou anteriormente.
- O hotel tem restaurante? Você pode fazer suas refeições ali. Ou pode incluir restaurantes, cafés e outros estabelecimentos locais no roteiro. Liste as opções que te interessam.
- Inclua também as atividades culturais e de lazer de seu interesse.
- Reserve tempo para imprevistos e prepare-se para improvisar um pouco, para ter alguma flexibilidade no roteiro.
- Se a viagem é a trabalho, prepare-se para o lazer. Não vai perder uma chance de ir a um coquetel, uma festa ou outro evento por falta de traje apropriado, não é? Mas não precisa levar a casa na mala, por favor!
- Agora, com base na duração da viagem, use um app de calendário e vá montando seu roteiro, encaixando as atividades previamente listadas. Calcule o tempo de deslocamento de um lugar a outro com previsão de atrasos. Sugiro criar roteiros em que vá a vários lugares próximos na sequência, em vez de ficar indo e voltando. Economiza tempo.
- Reserve o hotel que preferir, conforme seus padrões. Se quer ficar no melhor hotel da cidade e ele for longe das atividades planejadas, veja se o tempo disponível cabe os deslocamentos e as atividades planejadas.
- É possível que tenha várias atividades que você não terá tempo para incluir no roteiro, que não encaixam. Se isso acontecer, priorize o que acreditar ser mais importante. Uma peça de teatro que estará na cidade apenas por um período pode ser mais interessante que ver o acervo fixo de um museu, que poderá ser apreciado em outra ocasião. Claro que se você tem liberdade para fazer a viagem durar o tempo necessário para fazer tudo que gostaria é melhor. Mas nem todos têm essa liberdade.
- Com o roteiro detalhado, defina como vai viajar (carro, ônibus, avião, etc) e reserve as passagens.
- Agora é só fazer as malas. Recomendo levar poucos itens coordenáveis entre si. Verifique como estará o clima no seu destino no período.

🇬🇧 #UKHottestJulyDay
- Consider the local temperatures during the summer.
- Consider the local temperatures during the winter.
- Observe if the differences between points 1 and 2 are too big.
- Observe local temperatures day by day (it requires to observe the destination at least 9 months to observe summer and winter). See if the normal difference between the highest temperatures and the lowest (the same day) are too big.
- The big problem is not the temperature alone, but the shock of being used to low temperatures and 3 or 4 days a year the temperatures during the day surpass the normal too much.

🇬🇧 Ideas to exercise self-development
- To read at least one book every month.
- To observe our qualities and to feel gratitude about them.
- To be grateful for what we have and what we conquer honestly.
- To discover a new artist (painter, musician, etc) every month. This case, not to include actors.
- Watch at least two movies every month.
- To study mythology and Joseph Campbell’s books.
- To study philosophy. To include “Sophie’s world” as the first book you must read is a great idea.
- To study another language. When you become fluent in it, start studying a new one.
- To travel and discover different cultures. To be a cultural nomad offer some advantages because it helps to see the world from a different point of view compared to tourists.
- To observe your own mind.
- To keep in mind everything can be improved. Don’t stay in the comfort zone.
🇧🇷 Dicas de auto-aprimoramento
- Ler pelo menos um livro por mês.
- Observar nossas qualidades e ter gratidão por elas.
- Ter gratidão pelo que temos e pelo que conquistamos honestamente.
- Descobrir um novo artista (pintor, músico, etc) por mês. Neste caso, não incluir atores.
- Assistir a pelo menos dois filmes por mês.
- Estudar mitologia e os livros de Joseph Campbell.
- Estudar filosofia. Incluir “O mundo de Sofia” como primeiro livro a ser lido é uma ótima idéia.
- Estudar um novo idioma. Quando for fluente, começar a estudar um outro.
- Viajar e conhecer culturas diferentes. Ser um nômade cultural oferece algumas vantagens por nos ajudar a ver o mundo por uma perspectiva diferente da dos turistas.
- Observar a própria mente.
- Ter em mente que nada é tão bom que não possa ser ainda melhor. Não estagnar na zona de conforto.

🇬🇧 Reasons to have a pet friendly business
- I’m aware there are people who dislike animals, but they are, by far, a small group compared to the ones who love or accept cats and dogs.
- Many animals are quieter than children. If you accept children, there are no excuses not to accept dogs and cats. Cats, specially, are very quiet and disturb no one.
- Space is not excuse, as cats and many dogs, including many that are not considered small, are able to stay in small spaces for a while. A garden or some “corner” with a pet sitter to exercise the dogs is interesting, allowing the cats to stay with their tutors as many dogs and many cats are not used to each other.
- Someone who travels with pets have, at least, a certain financial level. I’m not sure about all travel companies, but with the ones I observed is more expensive to travel with a pet than with a child and the rules about the small companions, are more rigid for the animals than to the little humans. Someone willing to pay the price and the effort to travel with a pet must be considered as a king or queen and respected.
- Those who does not respect animals usually are not respectful to humans, so, you lose the preference of this target if you make the choice to refuse pets.
- People who have animals, in general, are more friendly and kind. This is what most of pet tutors believe. And obviously we prefer to be surrounded by charming, lovely people, to start new friendships with other people who also love pets, etc.
