If you close your eyes and mentally visualize your dream trip, where would your imagination take you? First of all, it is necessary to find out what you like the most! For those who enjoy adventure and prefer relaxed environments, planning a backpacking trip is ideal

the most of it.

2. What will be your destiny?

3. Which month is best for traveling?

We know that each destination is more suitable at a certain time of year, due to climate characteristics, increase in tourists and other factors. Therefore, plan your trip and choose the best date to board according to your routine
.
If you like beaches, sun and sea, remember that there are regions in Brazil with sunny days most of the year, such as the Northeast. If you prefer cooler weather, check the weather forecast for the dates you want to travel to your chosen city
.

4. What is the ideal travel time?

Planning your travel time is essential so you don't regret not having visited an important place. However, we know that it is often not possible to spend so many days away from home.

5. How much do you want to spend?

The budget dictates everything you are going to do on the trip, such as buying tickets, lodging, food, tours, and grocery products. So, it's very important to set an amount for your vacation period to go as planned.
The ideal is to be flexible and take advantage of the offers that arise while planning a trip. Many people wonder what is the best way to save money to travel. A good alternative is to set up an itinerary, plan the expenses for tours and food, in addition to having a reserve to deposit an amount of money each
month.

6. Where do you want to stay?

When organizing the trip, do accommodation research and prioritize according to your traveler profile and your budget. Choosing an all-inclusive resort may be the best option if you want to take advantage of your stay, the activities offered, the meals, all the services and amenities offered to the fullest
.

7. What tourist places to visit?

Do a lot of research about the tourist attractions in your destination while planning your trip and seek as much information as you have about each attraction. That way, you don't miss out on getting to know the best of each place.
Find out in advance how to arrive, what to bring, where to eat, and more. That way, it's easier to set up an itinerary with the places to be visited during each day of the trip
.

8. What to pack in the suitcase?

Try to assemble the suitcase with basic items and clothes suitable for the destination. If you go to the beach, don't forget to bring light clothing, swimwear and sunscreen. It's always good to have an umbrella and a jacket in hand, regardless of the chosen destination, since sometimes Saint Peter surprises with a
water bath.
Also, if you are traveling by plane, remember to weigh your suitcase in advance or plan to pay for excess baggage at the airport.

9. What documents are required?

We must remember the basic documents, such as an identity card and CNH, if you have one. When planning a trip, make sure that the place you choose to travel requires another specific document.

10. Do I need to bring masks and alcohol gel?

With the advancement of vaccination and the easing of the use of masks, some care is no longer required in certain locations. However, prevention is better than cure, isn't it?
Carry some masks in your backpack and remember to sanitize your hands with soap and water or alcohol gel. In addition, when planning a trip, check whether the chosen destination requires the presentation of proof of vaccination or the negative test
