Figuring out when to embark on your honeymoon and for how long should be right at the top of your to-do list! If time's a bit tight, consider how far you're willing to venture. If you're keen on exploring multiple destinations, make sure your travel plan allows ample time to soak in each spot and take a breather after those travel-packed days. And always keep an eye out for any extreme weather alerts – the last thing you need is to find yourself caught off-guard during monsoon season.
Be realistic about how much money you and your partner can allocate for your honeymoon and how long it might take to save up. If you want to leave right after your big day, then start saving money as soon as possible and remember to keep that apart from the one destinated to the wedding! Keep an eye out for deals and sales – January often offers great discounts on flights, and if possible, try to avoid traveling during peak school holiday periods. Setting up price alerts for different routes can also help you stay informed about price changes, allowing you to snag tickets at the best possible prices.
Talk to your partner and draw up a list of priorities between you, to make sure you are on the same page when planning! When you stop and imagine your perfect holiday do you see yourself on safari or the ski-slopes, popping into museums or lying in the sun? Whether you are an adventure-seeker or a beach-and-book style traveller, your honeymoon should be the holiday of a lifetime, so don’t hold back when looking at your options.
If you're feeling a bit lost about where to jet off to, hey, sometimes knowing where not to go is half the battle! Grab a world map, start crossing off spots that don't quite match your holiday vibe, and voilà – you're already making progress. Get some inspo from trending destinations and hit up your mates for their top picks. Mix in your budget and time constraints, and see what comes out on top for your travel timeframe. Who knows, you might uncover your dream getaway in the process!
You might already have a wishlist brimming with dreamy villas or swanky penthouse apartments on Airbnb – or maybe you're staring at a
blank screen, unsure where to begin. Here are some questions to kickstart your search:
1. Do you fancy being pampered with room service or are you more of a self-catering type?
2. Are you craving an adventure in the great outdoors or leaning towards a cosy, luxurious retreat?
3. Are you all about on-site entertainment or itching to explore off the beaten path?
4. From charming boutique campervans to lavish all-inclusive resorts, the honeymoon accommodation options are endless.
5. Keep an open mind and consider something you and your partner wouldn't typically go for – whether that's indulging in
five-star opulence or cosying up in a quaint B&B, the choice is yours!
Make sure the name in your passport matches the name on your travel documents – if you're changing to your partner's name, sort it out before making any bookings. You can apply for a new passport up to three months before the wedding. Or, if you're heading off right after the big day, stick with your maiden name or apply for a passport with a future date.
Dive into travel blogs and magazines for insider tips and local recommendations. Keep a running list of must-visit spots and don't hesitate to book any restaurants or attractions that catch your eye – you won't want to miss out on the good stuff!
Whether you're packing a suitcase or keeping it light with just a carry-on, make the most of your space by using packing cubes. Group similar items together, roll your clothes instead of folding them, and keep toiletries separate from electronics. Don't forget to use a packing list to stay organized. Before you head out, check the weight of your luggage to avoid any hefty fines at the airport.
Make sure your phone is fully charged, have your travel insurance documents handy, and save a scan of your passport on The Cloud, just in case. And when you finally embark on your journey, kick back, relax, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime!
