Others like to be spontaneous. Perhaps it has more to do with how we are as people than with any single external factor. Planning well in advance means you don't have to panic at the last minute and you can use your precious holiday time for other, much more prioritised activities. Being spontaneous, on the other hand, can bring a breathtaking sense of freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who we are probably plays a major role in how we choose to plan, but we are of course also influenced by various external factors. What is the state of the economy? What is happening in the world? Could there be a war?

We can tell you that over time (or is it with age?) we have insured our trips more and more. Because what do we know, what can happen?
