If you’re anything like me, planning a trip usually starts with far too many tabs open on my computer and multiple places saved within my phone! When I come to referring back, I have no idea where anything is!

One minute I’m saving a beautiful viewpoint on Instagram, the next I’m reading a blog about hidden gems. Before long I’ve got restaurant recommendations in WhatsApp, attraction ideas in Facebook messenger or worse getting lost further down a Facebook group!

That’s exactly why I created the the Road and Roam Attractions & Activities Planner.

What is it?

It’s a simple planner designed to help you keep all your trip ideas in one place before you travel.

Instead of scrambling through all those different places, you can quickly record:

• Attractions you don’t want to miss.
• Activities you’d love to try.
• Estimated time your ‘must do’ recommendation will take.
• Be able to prioritise the recommendation so if you are short on time, you won’t miss that top priority.
• Roughly plan your week and see how it looks.
• You can also easily highlight whether something needs advance booking.

Why I made it

I don’t travel full time. Most of my trips are planned around annual leave, life commitments and long weekends. So I’ve learnt that a little organisation makes a huge difference.

I wanted a tool that would help me:

• Keep all those great recommendations in one place.
• Compare options easily.
• Avoid forgetting places I’d been told about – I swear brain fog is real.
• Prioritise the experiences that matter most.
• Make better use of limited holiday time.

How I use it

When I start planning a road trip, I add every interesting attraction I find to the planner first. If it’s a bigger trip, I have one planner per area. I’m also someone who loves writing things down. I’m old school.

Once I can see everything together, it becomes much easier to decide:

• What’s worth adding into my trip.
• Where shall I plan my overnight stop – have I uncovered a small town with lots to see and do.
• What fits naturally into the route.
• What should be booked in advance.
• What can I afford to miss.
• Does a particular activity take too long that I’m going to potentially miss out on multiple things?

It turns a chaotic collection of ideas into a clear, realistic itinerary.
