Pick a destination
It’s going to be easier to pack and prepare your trip when you know which countries or regions you are going to visit. Check the weather activity like monsoon, hurricane season, high unbearable temperatures etc. Find out for each country which months are the best time to visit.

Determine how long and the activities you like to do
Determine how long you like to go. Or how long you are financially capable of going. When you travel for a few months or a year you don’t move around as much, compared to a three week holiday. And the more you move around the more expensive your trip is going to be. Perhaps you like to stay in one place for a few weeks or months. Ask yourself what you like to do when you travel. Volunteer work, teaching English, yoga courses, sky diving etc. Check the prices for these activities and calculate the prices in your travel budget.
