How to Plan an Itinerary That Saves Money, Avoids Crowds, and Unlocks Hidden Gems

Yeah, I agree. It's not always right in terms of like times and hours, that kind of thing. But it is a really good starting point. I tell ChatGBT, hey, I love going to bookstores, especially when I'm traveling. So I'll tell ChatGBT, I'm like, hey, I want to see a bunch of different neighborhoods and let me know what good bookstores I need to hit in the city.

And it'll give you a list, which is awesome. The other thing I found about ChatGBT, one, I like that it'll, if you ask it to plan a three-day itinerary, it'll split it up into morning, afternoon, evening types of activities.

So I really like that because it's helpful for figuring out, you know, like the vibe of a place and whether it's better to go there during the day or something you can save for later. I also like that you can ask it, where are places that most tourists miss? Let's talk about some of our favorite free and cheap activities. I love a walking tour. Have you ever done one of those?

Yeah, I just did one in Berlin two years ago, and I learned so much about the history. And then I really didn't need to do any more planning for the rest of the trip because my tour guide gave us her map of recommendations at the end of the tour.

That reminds me actually of a cruise that I did last year and we did something similar walking around the town to save money on the transportation because you pay for the shore excursion through the cruise. Sometimes they'll charge you like a hundred bucks per person just to take you into town and it's a mile walk or something like that.

There are often alternatives if you're willing to try the public transportation if walking isn't an option or even book your own private transportation if the public transportation doesn't work either. You know, there's a lot of options. So I would just say explore them and see where the savings are.
