Top Travel Tips + Packing Lists
Traveling Tips -
- Share your location with at least one of your closest friends or family member.
- Use Apple AirTags to keep track of your keys, luggage, bags, and more.
- Have the hotel address written down to show your driver, in case your phone dies.
- Be sure that the credit cards you are taking do not charge foreign transaction fees.
- Get out of your comfort zone by trying different foods, and chatting with locals. Don't be afraid to try some street foods!
- Pack thin/packable towels. There are some inexpensive, rolled towel options on Amazon!
- If something feels off, trust your intuition.
- The Early Bird gets the worm! -Mornings are quieter and have much better photo ops.
- Keep an extra credit card in a separate bag,
just in case.
- Layer up on the plane. Planes are colder, and this will save space in your luggage.
- Speaking of packing, I'd suggest packing light. As majority of the time, not all items are needed.
- Learn a few key phrases in the language of which is spoken in the country you plan to visit. ("Where is the restroom?", "Please", "Thank You", Etc.)
- Download the Google Translate App.
- Also, download offline maps for the area you are visiting.
- ALWAYS travel with Travel Insurance! You never know what could happen. Medical emergencies, stolen/lost luggage, lost passports, cancelled flights.
- Carry earplugs + an eye mask. Noisy neighbors, loud music, crowded trains.
- Bring a First Aid Kit. Add in electrolytes and ginger candy to help settle an upset stomach and nausea.
- Pack a spare phone charger + portable power bank to keep your battery charged on the go.
- Carry an empty water bottle in your carry-on bag to refill at the water stations inside the airports.
- Pack your toothbrush and swimwear in your carry-on. This way if your luggage is lost or delayed you can still have clean teeth and relax at the pool or beach!
- Don't forget your sunscreen!
