and then I look for the options.
Traveling is one of the best experiences in life – it’s an opportunity to explore, learn and make memories. But, thanks to budget issues, I won’t be able to travel until at least October 2024. Still, I find myself planning trips on Google Maps when I’m bored. I pick a city where I’d like to go and plan the whole thing – how I’d get there, where I’d stay, what I’d do. I avoid Street View so I don’t “spoil” myself, but I check menus to prepare for when I find a spontaneous cheap flight.
When I’m planning a trip, I start with a question such as, “If I want to go from US to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and then Shetland without renting a car, how would I do it?” From there, I look for the options. I also create custom travel lists on Google Maps, such as “Paris 23” and “Amsterdam 23,” with the year included to make sure I’m not browsing really old lists.
Traveling is an amazing experience, and planning trips on Google Maps can be a great way to pass the time. Whether you’re looking for a spontaneous getaway or just doing research for a future trip, Google Maps is a great resource. With its street view, you can get a feel for where you’re going, and you can even check menus to prepare for when you get there. So, while I may not be able to travel in the near future, I can still plan my trips and dream of the day I’ll be able to get away.
