Useful Travel Tips

Selfie Time in Public Transport

Less baggage more fun

Pack your bag with clothes, travel gears, essential medicines but make sure your bag is not too heavy to carry from one place to other. You can’t find helpers everywhere. The less you carry, the happier you feel.

Keep cash at different spots

Don’t keep all of your cash and cards in one wallet. Keep them separately – some in wallet and some in other pockets or bags just to avoid theft or robbery.

Carry first-aid kit

Your first aid kit should have medicines for fever, stomachache, headache, loose motion, vomiting, cough/cold and allergy. Also keep antiseptic ointment/lotion, cotton and Band-Aid. If you are on regular medication, carry your medicine.

Carry ID card

Due to terror threats, travelers should carry their ID cards. It’s mandatory for checking-in hotels.

Keep an internet ready device

Be it your mobile or tablet, it will help you in getting directions, useful information about your itineraries, bookings and keeping you updated with latest news.

Carry extra camera battery

Have you experienced a beautiful epic sunset and just realized that your camera battery is dead and you do not have a backup battery? Carry at least an extra set of batteries on your trips so that you won’t miss out that perfect shot.

Early wake up

If you are driving to your destination, wake up early and hit the road to avoid heavy traffic. And if you are already at your destination, wake up early and enjoy the nature - It’s a magical time for photos due to soft diffused sun light. Most of the locals go out in fields or to their daily work, interact with them.

Go slow

People generally want to get to their destination as quickly as possible. Don’t plan your trip to see too many places in just a few days. Spend time at each itinerary for maximum enjoyment. As you travel slowly, you’ll discover more.

Be flexible and patient

Patience is very important while traveling. Some weird things may happen so try not to get upset when things go wrong. Be flexible with your travel plan for maximum fun in your trip. Be ready to sleep anywhere when in crisis, try any weird food, going out and try new things for fun.

Get lost there

If you really want to enjoy your trip, get lost and explore the destination. Visit the places where real people live and work. The best way to do this is on foot – without knowing exactly where you are going. Keep the address and phone numbers of your hotel handy so that if you are really lost, it will help you.

Unleash yourself

Break out from your comfort zone and try doing things that you have never done or you normally do not do. Go for trekking, talk to strangers, taste weird food and do much more. All these will give you different experience and you will really enjoy it.

Take lot of pictures

You may not be visiting that place again in your lifetime, so take lots of photos. Capture natural beauties, local customs, people you meet, and what you think interesting. In this digital world, thousands of photos won’t take space in your luggage and make them heavy to carry back home. Great photos are the ultimate souvenir.

Use little local language

Learn a few local phrases and use them when you meet locals. Speak to them and experience their culture. Always make eye contact and smile as you walk by. If people smile back, say hello in English or in the local language if you know. This is the best way to make new friends.

Eat local food

You are traveling to the new place not to eat pizza, burger and chowmin. You already eat these at your place. So, try local street food. If you are unaware nice place to eat, ask locals where they eat. Go there instead.

Be respectful

Be respectful to locals and respect their local customs. Do not comment on local dresses or anything you find weird. You are a visitor. Be respectful.

Stay in touch

Do not forget to call your family and friends when you get time. Keep them updated.

Use public transport.

It's easy, it's cheaper and it will give you a real travel experience.
