The problem with that is that you miss out on cool places and sights to visit. I grind through travel sites and try to find blogs written by locals to build a list of things to do. For example, I did a stopover for a few days in New York on my way from the Netherlands to Canada. I would've never found great views of the city, ultra-hip places, the best pizza or the architectural gems if I didn't do some research beforehand. But I had no plan on what to do when. For me travel is about being flexible and just having an awesome day. It's a balance that works for me. I immediately shut the browser remembering that a planned trip is not a trip at all.
