Scott and Trevor discuss some experiences from their many years planning trips in and exploring Asia. Scott prefers to have transport, accommodation, and a travel template plan dialed-in. Trevor likes to research comprehensively but often prefers an unstructured approach upon arrival. The two discuss both advantages and disadvantages to each strategy and why striking the right balance is key.
