For a family of four in peak season, I don’t see any appeal to not knowing where we’d sleep at night and not having that already reserved.
But within a particular destination (say we’re in X city or region for 5 days) we totally play it by ear.
That includes “let’s check out this book store and coffee shop” or “let’s rent bikes today and ride around”
It’s a good balance.
The answer: you actually can enjoy travel.
Or - a predictable framework allows space for spontaneous exploration.
For instance, some might just want to relax in an environment far from their default, with the whole thing 100% planned so they don’t have any unnecessary stressors.
