For me, researching trips is one of my favourite parts of the planning.  First, I scout Skyscanner for cheap flights and will normally look out for places I haven’t been to or look interesting. I will then do a little research through blogs, Instagram and Pinterest to see if it’s somewhere that interests me (99% of places do) and to see if it is viable with my budget. After that I will do a bit more research about how expensive the country is, and if everything looks good, I will book the trip!
