Resplaner

Resplaner is a term used in Swedish contexts to refer to travel plans or itineraries prepared for trips. It can denote a written document, digital file, or structured outline that lays out the intended sequence of destinations, times, and activities. The word combines resa meaning “to travel” with planer meaning “plans.”

A resplan typically includes core elements: travel dates, origin and destination, transport modes (train, bus, flight, car rental), accommodations, daily schedule, activities, meals, and budget or cost estimates. It may also include practical information such as passport and visa requirements, weather considerations, local contacts, and contingency plans.

Formats vary: handwritten notebook, spreadsheet, or digital templates and apps. Digital resplaner can be shared with travel companions and updated as plans change, allowing for collaborative editing and real-time adjustments.

In practice, resplaner are used by individuals planning leisure trips, students or researchers organizing fieldwork, or by tour operators outlining multi-day itineraries for clients. They help coordinate logistics, compare options, and communicate the scope and sequence of a trip. While not all trips are planned in full detail, many travelers rely on a flexible resplan to guide daily decisions and ensure coordination across different modes of transport, activities, and accommodations.
