How to choose his destination in 10 steps ( 5 firsts steps )

I do not know about you, but when it comes time to choose my next destination I still have a hard time making a choice. It is true that a lot of places that interest me and I plan to visit them all over the years. But the questions remains the same, where am I this time?

How to choose your destination
I share here some factors to consider in order to be able to choose a destination for your needs.
1.Make a list of destinations that interest you
Know what interests us at the moment is a good starting point to make a choice. Select a continent, a list of countries that attract us or that are tailored to the type of travel or activities that we want to do.

For example, for my trip next fall, I would want to walk through the landscapes and villages of European countries. Some destinations thus come to mind after a search on various blogs and forums travel (travel forum Lonely Planet) travel.
If you do not have a preference, this step can be skipped and you can start directly to the second stage.
2. Set your budget for your trip
As I mention regularly, it is not necessary to be rich to travel. Some types of travel destinations and many are adapted to the budget. For example you can see my article on the cheapest destinations by continent.

  Define your budget is an important step in choosing his destination. The price of the ticket covers alone, much of the expenses of a trip.

You can look on Google Flight for prices of air tickets for the period you want from

If you prefer any particular country, perhaps will you do your list according to the prices of airline tickets. The Yulair site can help you find the right "deals" of the moment. It happens to me a few times to choose my destination based on this criterion.
Besides the price of airfare, daily expenses can greatly influence your ability or inability to travel to a country.

Compare the amounts of daily expenses by type of traveler you are (in small, medium or big budget) in the travel guides of each destination or travel forums or blogs. Sites such as Le Routard and Lonely Planet have a daily budget section associated each destination. This can be a good indicator.
3. Set the length of your stay and the time difference
The length of stay may also be an influential factor. For short stays, maybe you find better to go to a destination closer to home.


For example, when I was just 10 days of vacation, I want to go to Central America rather than Asia where I allow myself a minimum of 3 weeks. Over my vacation time is short, the less I want to lose in transport to get there and the time difference factor becomes an important criterion. Allow about one day to adapt to your body by shifting time. Do the math and set your own limits.

























4. Review the information on the flight
Flight time also discourages many a traveler. Some people are unable to do more than 6 hours straight to get to a destination. So I suggest you look at specific information theft. The time for each of them, the number of calls, the total number of hours before arriving at the final destination, the time of departure and arrival. These are several factors that can influence your choice depending on whether they are right for you or not.
5. Look warnings on the countries of destination
Without going into paranoia, it is essential to know the news about the country we want to visit. Natural disasters sometimes arise and the political, social, economic change rapidly. It is therefore important to have access to reliable sources and updated regularly on the security status in the country.

The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website provides information about each country. Otherwise, you can still join the nearest embassy of the country where you want to go to collect the information. But beware, the ministry's website is still too cautious and can easily create fear among travelers. Trust your own judgment, without taking unnecessary risks.
