Once upon a time, I relied on travel agencies to plan my trips—until I realized I was paying for convenience that wasn’t worth it. By booking directly through airlines, hotels, and experiences, I was able to save money and customize my itinerary the way I wanted. The flexibility of booking my own tickets means I can pick the best flight times and unique accommodations that agencies might not even offer. Not only that, I now use sites like Skyscanner and Airbnb to compare prices and find off-the-beaten-path destinations that agencies won’t recommend. The best part? I have full control over my schedule, so I can stay longer or leave earlier depending on how the trip is going. Travel agencies are a thing of the past for me, and I’ve never looked back. By planning my trips, I’ve unlocked more freedom and fun than I ever did before.
