Traveling can be tricky for a newbie. If you want to take a trip to a new place abroad or which is far away from where you live, youmay need to make a good plan in order to avoid troubles during the trip. Once you know where you want to go, you should decide whenand how you are going to go there.             Many people take a trip during holidays because that is the time when they can take a break from work or studies. Unfortunately,traveling during holiday season may not be a good choice as prices for flight tickets and hotel rooms are usually higher than theoff-season period when tourism is not booming. If you have a limited budget, you may consider taking a day off work during theoff-season when prices are lower and discounted.         Your budget will also determine what means of transportation you are going to use. Taking a road trip might be cheaper, but youshould be in good shape and prepare your car for a long trip. If you choose to fly, you may have to take public transportation to getaround in your holiday destination. Whether you take a taxi, subway or bus, you should know where you are going based on theitinerary that you have planned before and make sure you know the routes and the fares.         Next, calculate your costs. What kind of accommodation do you want? If you take a road trip, you may prefer to stay in a motel.Hostels are cheaper, but today you can search online and find hotels offering rooms with low rates. If the costs are more than you canafford, make cuts where you can. You may cut expenses for eating out or even cut the trip short and get back before the holiday seasonends.        Once you are exactly sure of where and when you want to go, how you will get there and where you are going to stay, make yourreservations. You can book your flight and accommodation online and even many attractions have ticket sales online so you can skip thelines and enjoy the attraction right in. You may also consider taking travel insurance. You will have some protection in case you couldnot travel during the time your tickets are booked for. If you plan to travel internationally, keep your passport, travel documents, visasand similar items in one place to ease you in accessing them.        Lastly, pack light. Heavy luggage will only restrict your movement and cause discomfort. A few basic shirts and pants or shortswill do and roll them when packing to save room for souvenirs.
