3 things to avoid on Sabbatical

We've seen it all too often - the excitement of planning a sabbatical offers an overwhelming array of potential opportunities; the temptation is to do it all. Take our advice and avoid these three common pitfalls when planning your sabbatical.

Cramming

Resist the urge to squeeze it all in. Time is your ally, so dive deep into each spot. Uncover the hidden gems, soak up the local atmosphere, and let each destination unfold at its own pace.

Winging it

Spontaneity adds excitement, but a lack of planning can end in chaos. Research, research, research, and book the essentials. Don't risk being stranded: have a game plan for transport, accommodation, and the main attractions.
