There´s nothing more exciting than planning a trip. It is a great experience through which you’ll feel a bunch of different emotions, including excitement and sadness (if you go on a long trip, leaving family and friends behind). Anyway, here are the most common emotions we experience when planning a trip.

Flights and accommodation
Our first task is to find flights and accommodation. Assuming you´re not a millionaire that uses € 500 banknotes to blow your nose, you’ll be looking for the cheapest options: dozens of options, web pages, open tabs and comparisons… to the point of having a huge mess of websites, but not a cheap enough option. Instead of that, sometime you end up with thousand of opened pages that saturate your computer. It is a real nightmare, isn’t it?
Joy
Now that you´ve found everything you were looking for and just have to wait for the big day, you can’t help it but feeling joy all the time, because you’ll go on a trip to a new place; a feeling that mixes impatience and desire to jump and tell the world about it. The anticipation of taking a trip is something that can’t be compared with almost anything, especially if you´ve found cheap flights and accommodation, including holiday apartments, because it is a great way to save money. Do you also feel like doing this?
Do you want to kill the president?
If you are traveling to a nearby country, it is likely that you’ll only need your passport or ID to fly, but if you head to a distant place, chances are that you have to get a visa. Sometimes it can be easily done, but there are other cases in which you’ll have to face a complicated process, where you’ll be asked questions like: ” Do you want to kill the president? ” or “Have you manipulated nuclear weapons?” . Sometimes one wishes this process to be much easier.
Eat ´local´
You´ve already landed at your destination and you intend to go to eat something traditional in the city. If you happen to be visiting a similar country than yours, you will probably not encounter any problems with the restaurant menus (even if they are written in another language). However, sometimes it is difficult to cope with the fact that, depending on the country you go, the more ´typical´ and ´traditional´ dishes are made with ingredients you probably have as pets back home. That is when you have two options: either stay and swallow your pride, or go and look for something less “traditional”.
New best friend
One of the best things of traveling is meeting new people. The problem comes when you don’t speak the same language as the locals; certainly after a few drinks, this barrier is finally broken. It is always nice to meet new people in a pub because the atmosphere is very relaxed. It is way better than meeting people at someone´s party, where everyone knows each other and you might feel as an alien when you´re talking to your ´new best friend´.
Anyway, planning and going on a trip is one of the most rewarding experiences in the world. If you have a few days, weeks or even months off, treat yourself and go on a trip to experience all those beautiful emotions that come when traveling. No doubt you will definitely find some similarities with the emotions described here and the ones you experience!
The farther you go, the more intense is the experience and emotions. If you want to try something different this year, why don’t you plan a trip to an exotic destination? Check out our Rio De Janeiro apartments directory . You’ll experience firsthand how impressive this Brazilian city is.
