Can trip planning be a hobby?

For years, I would’ve said no.
Not because I didn’t love it — I did. I do. Trip planning is one of the few things that reliably fills my cup.

I never thought to include one thing that I thoroughly enjoyed — planning the trip itself.

Let’s start by squashing a common misconception: that a well-planned trip leaves no room for spontaneity.

It all begins with an idea.
