Planning your trip is an integral and exciting part of traveling. I’ve always loved planning trips and events, but planning a year-plus long trip around the entire world takes substantially more planning, organizing and research than anything I’ve ever done before (including trying to plan my mom’s entire wedding in just one week!)

I’ve compiled several posts here on all the planning essentials: from packing lists to insurance, visas to vaccines- this should cover the bases for how to prepare to travel around this darling little planet of ours!
