Why Getting Lost in Google Images Is My Favorite Travel Planning Trick
1 min read
Summary
Instead of drowning in spreadsheets and reviews when planning a trip, consider looking at Google Images, which can act as a visual guidebook, providing a collection of images to spark ideas for adventures; for example, searching for local transport options can show you what the bus stops or train stations look like in real life, or searching for local dishes can offer an idea of what kinds of food may be on offer.
Looking for street signs, shop names, and menus can assist with getting your bearings and understanding etiquette, whilst searching for local cultural events or lesser-known attractions can offer a sense of the vibe of a place and the kind of things that take place there.
Additionally, Google Images can act as a jumping-off point to YouTube videos and offers a sanitised version of travel planning as opposed to Instagram, providing a sense of anticipation for a trip.
