I love this. I'd love to somehow find the balance between planning and spontaneity. Thanks for the insight especially for the value of booking way in advance.

May I ask how did you start gathering the list of all the things you want to see and do? Or even how did you decide on the destination in the first place?
- dirktheman 9y agoSometimes I stumble upon things on the internet, sometimes I search specific things in the surroundings. I'm a history buff and I love exploring old bunkers, so I search online for bunkers in the vincinity of, let's say, Avranches. Some destinations are chosen because of their convenient location. I can't travel to the south of France in one long drive, so I need two stops that are approximately 1/3 and 2/3 on the way. I check Google Maps for interesting geography, and do some research about towns/cities in the vincinity. This applies to other road trips as well: I found one of my favorite hotels ever this way (Kasbah Tebi in Aït Behaddou, Morocco: a UNESCO-protected kasbah without electricity or running water.) For the city trips I browse forums (TripAdvisor, Zoover) and 'things to do in...'-lists.
