Tips that can help you become a smarter and safer traveler is what you need. Ahead are a collection of tips that will help you plan a great trip and turn you into a seasoned pro.
Before you travel, make a list of what you will pack. Your list should be made well in advance (7-30 days) and should include all of your necessities. Even if you won’t have time to pack until the last minute, having a list will keep you organized.
Be sure to bring any proof that you have had vaccinations if you’re traveling to a country that requires it. This can be a lifesaver when leaving or entering a country, and immunizations can even be an issue when traveling from one city to another within one country. With no certificate, there is no way to prove to the authorities that you have been vaccinated, and you could be quarantined.
Try your best to get an aisle seat on the plane. An aisle seat allows you to move about a bit easier, such as going to the restroom or getting items out of the overhead baggage compartment.
Do your homework before making a booking. Look at different websites with reviews about the place you want to travel to. Ask your friends and family for advice on destinations. Doing a little homework will let you know what you can expect, and can help you make smart choices on activities and places to visit at your destination.
Is your hotel less than glamorous? Bring a rubber doorstop to stay safe. Slide it beneath your door overnight (and use the chain and lock, too). Burglars will be able to break the door’s lock, but entry will be extremely hard if you have such a doorstop engaged.
Whether your trip is on the road or across the ocean, a detailed itinerary can open up your possibilities. These tips will help you get started.
