This is what has worked for me but only really applies if you’re a certain kind of couple. Also kinda depends on how long you’re going for and which country/countries you’re visiting… Personally I think it’s easy to over plan and we both hate working to strict itineraries. Strip you plan back to bare bones, book any internal travel and a few hotels along the way but don’t book all your accommodation, so you can be flexible. Talk to locals and other travellers to get tips on what’s on and general local knowledge. Do your research so you have a priority list of things you’d like to do/see. Pin all this on Google maps. Make it an adventure rather than a sanitised trawl through tourist spots.

I think they’re amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there’s nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I’d be a hobby pyrotechnician.
