Not relying on an itinerary allows me to have much more freedom during my travels.Melissa NobleI've been to over 40 countries and have had the best experiences traveling without an itinerary.By not having a detailed plan for each day, I'm able to wander around freely and people-watch.Instead of deciding where to go in advance, I like to rely on locals' recommendations.I've been obsessed with travel since I was young, and so far, I've ticked off more than 40 countries on my bucket list.
