Spontaneous weekend trip - how to arrange it?

A weekend outing is one of the most pleasant things you can imagine after a week of hard work in an office or workplace.

Suddenly, for these two days, we're leaving in the dark, and all our problems are left at home. The most important thing in the whole trip is not to worry about anything and to make the most of our free time. We usually organize such trips well in advance. But what to do when the desire for a trip comes suddenly?

A room for the last moment

The possibility of finding a room or a place to sleep at the last minute is not difficult, but it depends very much on the wealth of our wallet and how much we are willing to spend on the trip. It should be noted that the less we want to spend, the worse conditions await us. None of these things.

The most basic option is to find a hotel or a place in some travel hostel. In principle, it is the most expensive and convenient option. In the price of accommodation is usually provided not only food, but also other attractions that the resort offers. Very often it is a sauna, swimming pool or other regeneration zone. Here the biggest problem that can affect us is the lack of free rooms. Especially if we book for the last moment in the tourist resort!

For those who value independence more and maybe don't like the crowded corridors and the rooms with Swedish tables full of people, AirBnB can be an interesting alternative. This portal is a new, rapidly growing method of booking accommodation. In contrast to the classic hotels, there is no question of squeeze or other tourists. It consists in renting a flat of another person for several nights. Thanks to that we can keep full discretion. It is also cheaper because the apartments have kitchens where we can prepare food for ourselves and our loved ones and the cost of renting it on AirBnB is much lower than a hotel.

The most crazy proposition, which is mainly intended for people who are not strangers to the adventure, is definitely CouchSurfing. Another web portal, although it would be more reasonable to say a community that is focused on helping other travelers around the world. This can be done by offering your apartment, or maybe just the title couch, to someone who is just in the area and looking for a place to spend the night. As you don't quite know who you're going to go to, the trip may be even more interesting. Especially since most hosts (people who offer a place to sleep for free) are incredibly open-minded people with hundreds of incredible stories.

Getting there at once?

You also have to get to our rented rooms somehow! This is another problem that has to be solved during a quick trip. In a moment when we don't have our own car, the best option to keep freedom and independence is to rent a cheap car.

Admittedly, the railway network or plane connections are growing every year and you can get to many places in the country or on the continent. The car is still the means by which we are able to get exactly where we want to be, when we want to be there.
