Travel & Life Experience Prioritisation

What the framework is

Travel and life experience prioritisation compares trips and experiences you are considering, such as a long journey, a course or a season abroad, against what matters to you. The template starts with five criteria: Personal Meaning, Affordability, Timing, Growth Potential and Memorability. The criteria can be changed, added to and weighted.

What the result looks like

When it earns its place

Use it when you have more experiences on your list than time or money, and want to choose deliberately rather than by default.

The trap is "someday". Timing is a criterion because some experiences fit this stage of life and won't fit the next. Comparing on timing separately shows which can wait.

How to run it with a group

1. List the experiences you are weighing up.
2. Decide how much each criterion counts for you.
3. Compare the experiences two at a time on each criterion. If you would travel with someone, send them the link too. Participants do not need an account to respond.
4. Plan the top one, and keep the ranking for next year.
