For seasoned travellers like us, it's more of a challenge to to do it ourselves, whereas others without knowledge and experience from travelling are less confident and much more likely to pay money for someone to make all the arrangements. After all, that's what a Travel Agent does isn't it ?
This comes as no surprise as I have been on a few trips where things were not as they were sold to me, which is the main reason why I do it all myself now, but in the beginning I too was lured by the trips offered by travel agents, mostly because of convenience but also because of the assumption that I was paying for them to look after all the fine details. All I had to do was turn up and enjoy the trip.
