Imagine traveling the world with a personal assistant who always knows the best route, the top places to eat, and the hidden gems in every city. That’s the power of AI—if you know how to use it.
On my family’s journey around the world (with two kids in tow!), I’ve discovered that the secret to making AI work for you is simple: crafting effective prompts. Whether it’s finding accessible routes, budget-friendly activities, or quick solutions to last-minute hiccups, AI can make life so much easier—but only if you know how to ask the right questions.
Why AI Prompting Matters for Travellers
AI tools like ChatGPT are incredible for simplifying travel. They can:
• Plan itineraries tailored to your needs.
• Provide real-time solutions to problems like missed connections or unexpected weather.
• Find personalised recommendations for food, activities, and more.
The key is learning to prompt effectively. Here’s how to get started.
3 Steps to Master AI Prompting
1. Be Specific
Instead of asking something broad like “What’s fun in Paris?”, narrow it down:
• Prompt: “What are free family-friendly activities in Paris near the Eiffel Tower?”
2. Provide Context
Let AI know who you’re travelling with or what you’re looking for.
• Prompt: “I’m travelling with two kids, one in a stroller. What are the best attractions in Dubrovnik?”
3. Set Constraints
Make your question even more actionable by adding filters like time, cost, or location.
• Prompt: “Find vegetarian restaurants in Nice that cost under €20 per person.”
Why It’s Worth Learning
Mastering AI prompting is a game-changer, especially for busy parents or anyone juggling multiple priorities on the go. It’s made our travels smoother, stress-free, and way more fun.
If you’re ready to simplify your next trip—or just curious how AI can make life easier—start practicing your prompts today. Trust me, it’s a skill worth having!
