How to become better at planning trips?

Is there anyone with any suggestions or guidance on vacation or trip planning? For instance, where to go on a trip’s first day, what to do on the second, etc. My buddies normally arrange all the travel arrangements when I go abroad; I just go along. I have no idea what I’m doing, though, and I’m planning to travel abroad for the first time with my girlfriend. What pointers and suggestions do you guys have for organizing travel and holidays?

Plan ahead: Research destinations together, outline daily activities, and consider both preferences. Prioritize communication and compromise. Create a flexible itinerary with room for spontaneity. Embrace new experiences and cherish moments together.

Every fifth or fourth day, take a day off. Don’t make any kind of schedule. Visit a spa, hit the beach, sleep in, indulge in ice cream, and make no arrangements at all. Before the next crazy day of planning, you’ll be able to relax and live like a native.
