  The biggest waste of time that I see people doing is trying to cram in too many sites in a day just to check it off their bucket list.

  Solo trips are SO underrated! I enjoy travelling with another person, but the freedom of a solo trip is really something. Highly recommend doing at least one solo trip, even if you're a bit uncomfortable with it. Once you're there, that will likely change very quickly. :)

  Wasting time getting the perfect Instagram shot - "I'm an influencer, I'm telling you, nobody cares..." HAHAHA 😂

  One thing I learned while travelling is to listen to your body. Rest when you feels sick, sore, or just need a quiet evening in. Granted, everyone is different, and there are people who can be go go go for two straight weeks while exploring. But resting when tired can go a long way towards enjoying your vacation to the max instead of pushing yourself too far and getting sick and missing out even more on vacation.

  I'll add: Standing in a line for 2 hours to see something you could have seen right away if you had just bought tickets in advance.

  If you travel with friends, make sure they have the same idea of fun.  How much shopping, drinking, selfie taking do they do?  How much walking do they want to do?  How often do they want to go to a very expensive restaurant?  Some chuches, museums, castles, or all of them? A good friend in day to day life might not be the best travel companion.

  Don’t try to do too much either! I’ve made that mistake before. Rushing from one place to the next because I had FOMO. Don’t miss the forest through the trees. Slow down and live in the moment.

  The biggest way to waste your vacation that I learned the hard way is being too addicted to social media while you're on vacation.  MASSIVE waste of time

  Spending time going from souvenir shop to souvenir shop to see the same mass-produced junk.

  One Waste I see is being so regimented that you don't have time to discover.

  one way of wasting your vacation is booking a luxury hotel. unless you plan to stay in the hotel the entire time, there's no point to spend thousands a night just to sleep in a bed and leave the room early the entire day..

  I've seen people become so obsessive about taking pictures that they're aren't really spending time taking in the sights with their own eyes.
