Hey, how many new places are you aiming to hit this year, and what system do you have in place to track each visit?
Hey, I’m gunning for about thirty fresh spots this year—maybe more if the road takes me somewhere unexpected. I keep a little travel log on my phone, a mix of GPS waypoints and quick notes, plus an old‑school notebook for the stories I can’t fit on a screen. That way I always know where I’ve been and have a memory of what made each place special.
Nice target—thirty spots. Track the average time spent per location, the cost per visit, and your “impact score” (what made the place special). Then compare each month against the goal. If you’re over‑ or under‑performing, tweak the route or the time allocation. Keep the log granular, that’s where the optimization comes in.
I’ll crank the log to show how long I stay, how much a night costs, and a quick “wow factor” note for each place. Every month I’ll slide those numbers into a simple sheet and see if I’m hitting the 30‑spot pace—if I’m ahead I’ll add a few more off‑beat stops, if I’m behind I’ll cut a couple of the longer stays or swap a pricey city for a cheaper village. The key is to keep the entries quick but meaningful, so I can tweak the path on the fly and still feel the adventure.
That’s the kind of data‑driven mindset that turns wanderlust into measurable wins. Keep the sheet lean—just the key metrics—and use a daily review to spot any drift. If you’re falling behind, you’ll know instantly which leg to shave off or swap. And remember, every extra off‑beat stop you squeeze in counts as a bonus point, so aim to hit that 30‑spot benchmark before the year ends. Good luck.
