If you are a new traveler, the hardest part isn’t booking the flight—it’s figuring out what to do once you land. Most travel blogs give you a laundry list of 50 places to see, leaving you stressed and rushing from one spot to another.

Here at Travel Decode, I do things differently.

These itineraries are the exact routes I have refined over years of traveling to 55+ countries. They are not just lists; they are blueprints. I’ve designed them to help you navigate foreign lands with the confidence of a local, ensuring you spend less time looking at maps and more time soaking in the experience.

How I Design These Routes

Every itinerary on this page is built on a “Real-World” logic that beginners often miss:

Flow Over FOMO: I don’t cram everything in. I plan routes that make geographic sense, saving you money on taxis and trains.

Visa-Conscious: With my background in visa consultancy, I design routes that respect visa durations and border rules—especially helpful for holders of “weak” passports.

The “Breathing Room” Rule: You can’t see a city if you are exhausted. My schedules include buffer time for rest, unexpected discoveries, or just a good coffee.
