    it can be super over whelming to plan a travel itinerary! My friend and i planned a trip to europe all by ourselves and it was very time consuming! Thanks for the tips :)

    You should also take into account opening hours of monuments, museums and shops when you are planning your itinerary so you don't plan to go visit a museum on a day that it's closed or right before it closes for the day.

    I loved your Google Doc! I also love researching so that I can have an itinerary ready for my trip. But I usually keep about 2-3 days free for unplanned on the go activities or to just revisit places and hang out in areas that I really loved and want more of! :) Thanks for another content-heavy video!

      Hey Yvette! My friend and I are working towards improving the online travel booking experience by building a platform that generates unique travel itinerary recommendations in one click. It's designed precisely to solve some of the issues you and many other people encounter when planning trips and itineraries from scratch. We've made a 1-minute demo ua-cam.com/video/nrnvQbNLI-w/v-deo.html, and would love to get your feedback on it 😊

    this video is veeerrrryyyyyy helpful!! I just wanted to say something that when you're shopping make sure that the amount of stuff you buy gets fitted in your travel bag or else you'll have to buy another bag or keep carrying them in your hands which i don't really prefer doing, but yeah I hope this helped!

    I've tweeted to you about this video but I also want to make a comment! This was such a huge sigh of relief for me! I'm starting to plan my 4 week (first time) SOLO trip to South Korea and Japan at the end of this year/start of next year and I've just been winging it with this whole planning thing. But even before watching this video I had Google Docs already set up with some info about various things, read numerous vlogs and watch lots of youtube videos AND already created Instagram collections since last year hahah thanks so much for this helpful video! Such a handy tip to put those Google Docs offline too! And also your packing video is so good!!

    Great tips! I️ went to Tokyo last year and planned the trip. It was quite time consuming. I️ employed all the tips you suggested except Google maps. I️ probably should have, it would’ve made traveling from one spot to another more streamlined. On another note, I️ would add that researching the culture and tips from travelers who’ve visited your intended destination was quite helpful. I️ knew how to use the subway and to get a subway card before going to Tokyo; Tokyo doesn’t have trash cans on the street, so I’d have to carry any trash I️ had until I️ got to a store or restaurant; and that you get great photos of Mt. Fuji while in the Hakone area when the weather is clear.

    Hi Aileen.
    This video and the first video were extremely helpful!!! Thank you so much!!! This has been really helpful in organising my, hopefully, one way ticket to Japan next year.
    - Another tip for itinerary is looking at travel UA-camrs. I enjoy watching 'internationally ME' her videos are very informative, she includes directions and prices, and they are fun to watch. She covers everything from food to different activities in very different areas of Japan.
    Thank you,
    Justine.

    Wow Aileen!
    I'm blown away by your insightful advice and relevant topics that I find myself in at this stage of my life :) Thank you for your helpful tips, especially with these two videos on traveling. I've learned so much about the organization for putting together an itinerary, particularly for international travel. On your Instragram, I fangirled when I saw you went to Hakone! On my travel to Japan last year, I went to that enchanting place and hoped to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji. It was cloudy that day, but it was incredibly stunning and serene. I suppose a cool topic to cover next regarding travel would be ways to record your memories from the travel experiences. For international travels, I like to create a travel photo book from blurb.com since it's really neat to compile the experiences visually and have something tangible to share with your family and friends when they ask how was your trip went. I'm curious how you compile your memories after a big trip! I think it would be cool to do a video vlog of the trip...then again, I think when you're in the place you're travelling to, it's nice to be present and actually enjoy the ambience of the area rather than worry about getting great footage. It's all about balance, I suppose! Anyway, thank you for putting out high quality and relevant content :) You're truly a gem! Keep creating, beautiful girl!
