BEST TRAVEL TIP
Most importantly, be mindful of your purpose. Why is this trip important to you? What are you hoping to achieve? Set realistic expectations from what you can spend to how much you can pack into one trip
with the amount of time you have to travel.
There are many variables that contribute to a successful trip. Some of these factors can be easily predicted while others are unforeseeable. Stay balanced and do not let any disruption overwhelm you.
The unpredictable component of travel is part of journey!

MOST INCREDIBLE TRIP I EVER PLANNED
One of my most memorable trips was a heritage trip to Sicily that I took with my parents. It was an incredible experience to meet relatives and visit the home of my great-grandparents. I also fell in love with the countryside of Sicily.
