Travel planning can be a real chore. Booking flights, deciding on the right hotel and building an itinerary might be fun for some, but others dread it. That’s why some travellers are opting for an unorthodox travel strategy that eliminates the planning stage altogether. It’s called “mystery” or “surprise” travel, and the destination isn’t revealed until the day of departure.

This idea isn’t new. Some friend groups plan regular mystery travel vacations, with one person or family planning and booking the itinerary for everyone else.
