Following my theme with my What is your favorite form of travel?, when you travel, do you follow a schedule (or itinerary), "wing it", or do something in between? Let me hear your thoughts on this!

I make a plan for roughly half the time I am at a place. The other half I allow for random 'Let's go here!'

Did it all, but currenly like to mixed some pre-scheduled travels with on-the-spot decisions. Mainly because of time constraints (work), otherwise I would probably just go wherever. Did it before and really liked it (much more adventurous).

Never liked group-travel though.

I'd like to say wing it but I normally research where I'm headed for months before I fly out and when I get there I feel like I've lived there for years I know so much about the place

I've always want to wing-it, but end up having a plan. I mostly go on cruises, which usually have schedules for every thing. I guess that's the downside of cruising: there's a lot of stuff to do, but you have to do it around their schedules.

Stopped travelling 10 years ago, but never, ever pre-booked more than 3 days ahead. Hated worrying about getting sick, losing a job, they finding the bodies :) etc.

I plan the cities I'm visiting and the amount of days but I don't plan my days. The less plans, the better.

I need to count down on my plans. Right now I always plan pretty much everything, where I will be each day, what I will see and what times I will go to each thing. It would be nice to just wing it and experience what happens

When I travel, I do not follow the schedule. But always I look on the Internet which places are worth visiting in this country or the city, and visit them.

I love it when all the days are full of events and emotions but I don't follow any schedules - my life is usually full of surprises :)

I usually go on short trips, so some degree of research and planning is necessary - otherwise I'd just end up blowing a good chunk of time on waffling. But I always make sure there's lots of freespace for chance activities, rest or anything else that could come up spontaneously.

Halfway, I suppose. I've been using AirBnB a lot, and I've met a lot of good hosts. Most of them have really great tips on where to go, so I often have a couple of destinations in my mind beforehand, but most others I just follow their advices. They've always turned out nicely.
