And honestly… they cost us time, money, and a few missed experiences 👀
1️⃣ We tried to see too much
🗺️ We wanted to visit every famous place in just a couple of weeks.
Result? Too much time in transport and not enough time enjoying the country.
2️⃣ We didn’t understand the seasons
🌦️ We assumed the weather was the same everywhere. Big mistake.
Choosing the right coast at the right time changes everything.
3️⃣ We underestimated travel times
🚗 What looked like a short drive on Google Maps often took much longer than expected.
4️⃣ We followed social media too much
📸 Some places were amazing.
Others looked much better online than they did in real life. Meanwhile, some of our favorite spots weren’t on Instagram at all.
5️⃣ We didn’t plan our route efficiently
😮💨 Looking back, we would have organized our itinerary completely differently to avoid unnecessary backtracking.
The good news?
You don’t have to make the same mistakes we did ✨
