8 travel tips for a memorable vacation

29/7/2019

So you've planned your next trip and chosen a destination that calls to you!

Here are 8 quick travel tips to make it a smooth and enjoyable trip that you'll remember long after you return home.

1. Be patient

Often, the best discoveries are those made when you least expect it (certainly not while you're rushing or stressed).

2. Buy tickets in advance for major attractions

It's such a great feeling to skip a massive line!

3. Take a metal water bottle with you

Staying hydrated is important, and a reusable bottle avoids plastic waste. Just don't fill it up until you're past security at their airport to avoid delays or them confiscating it!

4. Go food shopping

You'll learn more about local life if you shop and prepare your food rather than always eating out. You'll save some money too!

5. Have a copy of your passport and important cards on you

If you should ever lose your documents, having a copy can speed up replacing them, especially since we tend not to know our card numbers or other info by heart.

6. Vary your shoes

In case one pair gives your feet a hard time. Painful feet can be a real nuisance when traveling. Love your feet because they take you places!

7. Don't forget your battery pack

If your battery dies and you don't have access to a charger on the go, these inexpensive packs can save you and get you to the end of your day.

8. Be respectful of your surroundings

Remember that a place is not your personal playground. Respect the locals, nature, architecture, language, culture and any rules of the place you're visiting.
