I recommend you do plenty of research before you book so you don't come across any surprises while traveling. For example, you'll want to research the climate and culture of where you're going as well as the cost of living and transportation.

That depends! Consider what you'll do each day while you're on vacation and how much each activity will cost. If you have a solid itinerary and budget, you can avoid planning either too many or too few days in your destination.

That depends on your destination. Major holidays can sometimes be a fun time to visit because it's very festive, but it may also be very quiet if local businesses and tourist attractions are closed and locals are away on vacation.
