Traveling is one of life's great pleasures, but before enjoying the wonders of your chosen destination, it's important to plan some details. One of the ways to organize everything is to put together a travel spreadsheet and write down the tours, accommodations, and expenses.
With that in mind, here are some practical tips for setting up a perfect trip plan and having comfort and safety throughout your stay.
1. Make a draft
Before actually putting together the spreadsheet, it is worth making a sketch with all the details that cannot be missing. A good idea is to start with the main topics, such as accommodation, tours and tourist attractions, and then narrow down, including expenses and other
details. It is also worth creating a travel expense spreadsheet and mapping the investment that will be required. This way, you can know how much you should save to carry out the trip in the best possible way.
2. Move everything to the spreadsheet
Once you've thought about all the paperwork, take the time to pass the information from the draft to an Excel spreadsheet. Remember to create tabs for the different categories.
You can use the following categories: planning, travel itinerary, expenses, and other topics. Using the category tabs, it will be easier to use formulas to improve the travel schedule, leaving everything organized
. 3. Organize travel expenses
One of the most important tabs in the spreadsheet is, without a doubt, the expense control tab. In it, it is possible to enter all the costs of the tour, managing resources better and avoiding expenses outside the budget.
A model for organizing travel expenses is to make a table with four columns, namely: date (recording the date of the activity); ticket (referring to transportation costs); lodging and tours, such as the purchase of tickets, parking fee, etc.
4. Use formulas to facilitate accounting
One of the advantages of making a travel spreadsheet in Excel is being able to use several formulas that will make it easier - a lot! — the accounting of the expenses of the tour. It is possible to use everything from basic formulas, such as those for addition and subtraction, to other more complex models
. A good chance of using one of these formulas is to place the amount available to be spent on the trip in a cell, programming it so that with each added expense amount, the amount of money decreases, easily showing the costs of the trip. Example: =B1- B3-B4-B7. These symbols represent the location of each cell in the formula.
5. Plan the travel itinerary
In addition to making a trip plan on the spreadsheet with the necessary information, it is important to prepare an itinerary with the dates, the tourist attractions to be visited and the respective dates, the necessary documents and everything that cannot be missing in the suitcase
. Knowing how to organize a suitcase is a fundamental step. Remember not to leave it to tidy up at the last minute. Also, make a checklist and mark the items as you separate them to take. This makes it easier not to forget any important object or clothing.
