CONSIDERING SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE
Research the realities of day-to-day life in your dream destinations, as well as any hurdles that you will have to overcome in order to get there. Then ask yourself how much hassle you are willing to endure in order to travel.
CONSIDER THE SEASON. In addition to deciding how long you will be travelling, decide when you’ll be going. For each destination, research what weather you should expect during this timeframe. Decide whether these conditions are tolerable to you.
MAKE SURE THE DESTINATION IS SAFE Stay up-to-date about the current environment for each destination. Although it is impossible to foresee every eventuality, be on the lookout for any trends that indicate consistent danger.
MAKING THE FINAL DECISION If you’ve narrowed your list to a couple of choices instead of one stand-out, compare the two. Apply the same criteria that you used to eliminate other choices. Find out if one seems more sensible, doable, and enjoyable than the other.
FOLLOW YOUR GUT If your final choices still seem equally appealing after a second comparison, forget the checklist. Take a step back, clear your head, and give yourself some time. Wait to see which destination you find yourself dreaming about more. Listen to your heart and go with that.
COMPROMISE WITH FELLOW TRAVELERS. If your group is equally torn between two destinations, work toward an agreement. Ask for everyone’s reasons for their preferred choice.
