The prompt · ChatGPT

Plan a long-trip skeleton.

Duration: [months]
Interests: [list]
Budget feel: [rough]
Work/study remote: [yes/no]
Must-include regions: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A regional skeleton with pace.
2. Admin checkpoints (visas/insurance/money) marked check on official pages.
3. What not to overbook early.
4. A health/safety habits list in general terms.
5. Point me to GOV.UK foreign travel advice per country as I firm plans.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. Rules change, so don't state entry, visa or passport rules as certain — mark each 'check' and point me to GOV.UK foreign travel advice (and the passport/renew pages) so I confirm myself. This is planning help, not immigration or travel insurance advice. UK English.
