Any trip you need to prepare
- I start from the place of residence
There is not always a lot of money. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to take into account the good combination of price and conditions provided. I prefer apartments with kitchen to be able to cook
It should be a safe area: I remember how in Athens we walked with cameras through a line of bearded local men standing near the club’s striptease to their apartment. A strong impression. To avoid such situations, I read reviews and be sure to talk about my impressions.
I look at the location of the apartment relative to the main attractions: it is great if everything is within walking distance. Otherwise, I study the nuances of the work of public transport, traffic intersection, the rules of payment of travel. - Be sure to download maps offline and prepare my approximate route for sightseeing places. To do this, I study what interests people most of all in those places, which events are organized in this place on these very same numbers, make a list of these places, events and decide that I will attend from this list. Thus, in Tunisia, I read about an amazing tour of the Sahara Desert, and in Naples I met the best guide on a motorcycle, Dima Brenish
- I choose cafes or restaurants where they offer authentic food.
In Montreal, we chose the famous House of Jazz,. The design, the music was at its best, but Italian ravioli with vinegar and tomato sauce was absolutely impossible to eat. - I study what to bring as a souvenir
- I tell Google about my impressions, and exhibit photos
