Change your mind

A friend just texted me. She already helped me book flight tickets and a hotel room for a trip to Japan.

 

We will go to Japan for a sports event for around a week. However, we didn’t plan this trip for a long time. I had lunch with my friends and we just talked about some possibilities to go to that sports event. We were thinking whether we could go. Nonetheless, a key thing is to secure the event tickets first.

 

2 days later, my friend told me that we already secured tickets. So, we can start to plan the trip. Well, we only discussed if we should go or not. The answer is yes. My friend works in a travel agency and she can handle most of the things.

 

For me, this trip has been quite different. Previously, I normally book flight tickets and accommodation first. Then, I would think about what to do during the trip. Sometimes, I didn’t plan much.

 

Nevertheless, things have changed. Many friends took a trip to other cities or countries to watch concerts or games. A key thing is that you have to secure the entrance tickets. For example, my colleague went to Singapore with his wife because his wife was going to watch Taylor Swift’s concert.

 

With this experience, I began to think about changing something. I might have to change my mind about traveling. There are many possibilities and many ways to travel. I’ll see if there are cool events to attend this year or next year. However, an important thing to monitor is the flight tickets and accommodation. With huge festivals or events, flight tickets and accommodation will usually go up. Hence, this is something that you have to think about. Well, I’m going to check the budget for the coming trip.
