You must make some sort of plans? I’ve done some backpack traveling and would always have a rough plan that I didn’t follow very well, but I feel the plan helped. I wanted to get to Venice. What would I do when I GOT to Venice?

Meet a cool Australian guy to go out drinking all night and ridE around on these water buses to various places all day wasn’t in the plan.

So I think an outline of a plan you know will change seems to still have value.

IMHO, It is like sailing on a boat - you at least need to have a rough direction, otherwise you will get nowhere

Yeah but just really rough plans, unlike the ones I made before with steps and others.
