WGT - Planning
So you want to go to the next WGT, then there are a few things you need to think about before you go you need to formulate a plan. Depending on how close it is to the next WGT will depend on what you really need to do and how quickly you need to do it by. However a general rule would be to first book accommodation then arrange your travel details. This will ensure you have a place to stay when you get to Leipzig.
Planning your Trip will largely depend on your starting location / country of origin and your available budget...give yourself an upper limit for what you want to spend and try to stick to it, else the total cost can quickly spiral out of control
