1 of 7
How much time off can you actually use?
Start with the real-life bit. Are we squeezing in a weekend, stacking annual leave or going fully off-grid for a bit?
How far are you willing to fly?
Pick the option that feels right, not the one your Pinterest board wants.
What are you craving most?
Choose up to three. This is where the travel brain starts revealing itself.
Pick at least one vibe before we move on.
What is your travel energy?
No judgement. Sometimes the dream is simply landing and finding a good pastry.
What kind of weather are you after?
Are we defrosting, wandering, hiking or fully pretending weather does not exist?
What is your budget mood?
Choose your current financial personality.
What would make you happiest on day one?
This is the one. Your arrival-day energy tells me everything.

Still wondering where should I travel next?
How can I decide where I should travel next?
Start with the practical details: how many days you have, your budget, preferred flight time, travel pace and the kind of trip you want. The 9-5 Trip Picker combines those choices to suggest destinations that suit the time and money you actually have available.
How does the Where Should I Travel Next quiz work?
Choose your trip length, preferred travel vibe, budget, flight time, pace and season. The Trip Picker then compares your answers with a handpicked selection of destinations and recommends the places that best match your trip.
Is the Trip Picker free to use?
Yes. The Where Should I Travel Next tool is completely free to use, and you can repeat it as many times as you like. Change your answers to compare ideas for different budgets, seasons or amounts of annual leave.
Can the Trip Picker help me choose a weekend destination?
Yes. Select the number of days you have available and the tool will prioritise destinations that make sense for a shorter trip. It considers flight time and travel pace, so you are less likely to spend half your weekend getting there.
Does the Trip Picker only recommend European destinations?
No. The results include both European city breaks and longer-haul adventures. Your available days, budget and preferred flight time will help determine whether a nearby escape or a bigger journey is the better match. You could even find yourself in China!
What types of holidays can the tool recommend?
The Trip Picker can suggest beach breaks, city trips, hiking destinations or places that offer a mixture of everything. You can also choose whether you want a relaxed escape, a packed itinerary or something in between.
What should I do if I do not like my first result?
Run the picker again and adjust one or two answers. Increasing your flight time, changing your budget or choosing a different travel vibe can reveal completely different destinations without making the results feel random.
Can I use the Trip Picker to plan around annual leave?
Absolutely. The tool is designed for travellers fitting adventures around a 9-5 job. Enter the number of days you can travel, then use the results alongside the Annual Leave Maximiser to turn limited leave into a trip that feels much bigger.
Are the destination recommendations based on real travel experience?
The destination list is handpicked using places I have travelled to, researched or covered through Irish Travel Addict. Where a full guide is available, your result will link directly to practical advice to help you plan the trip.
Is the Where Should I Travel Next tool suitable for solo travellers and couples?
Yes. The recommendations are based on your travel preferences rather than who you are travelling with. Solo travellers, couples and friends can all use the tool to narrow down destinations that suit their time, budget and travel style.
