Excited to know……Be with us on this blog!
The very first thing that sacres most travelers is the luggage to take with them. If you forget something important, your whole plan may get ruined. Or even if you take more than you need, then also you have to take care of extra packing.
Just be smart in packing the luggage, and take all the necessary things. As per my advice, you should check all the packed things one night before traveling. It’s always suggestible that you should take warm clothes if you are traveling to a cold place. Likewise, take light clothes if you are going to a warm destination. Some of the things that you should check clearly before going out of your home are:
And many more things you need as per your personal usage. Just pack all those stuff and try to check it carefully with a checklist. And yes, make your bag waterproof or take waterproof material to cover it when needed.
Another one of the most important tips to consider is to make a proper budget for your plan. Just make your trip planning as per your pocket size. Be careful as much as you can while doing this. Otherwise, your happy trip can bring a big hole in your pocket.
This suggestion is good to take as your trip depends on your pocket size like which hotel to book, which destination to consider, or which activity to do there. That’s why first make a proper budget for your travel and then decide on all other things like booking hotels, and searching for any special activity there. And taking the decision on this part in advance will never make you feel bad after the trip.
Travel is not as expensive as you may think. As we already discussed, you can make a budgeted travel plan in your pocket. The very important secret to a happy journey is having good money management. But this point of having little extra money with you has its own importance. You should always overestimate the money you need. You never know what’s coming on further with you.
Like, maybe you see a new activity or an amazing place that you want to try to get a lifetime experience but you didn’t plan for it before. That’s why to be clever and take little extra money than you thought. This also gives you a buffer for emergencies and instability.
Pack light and right especially for flights. This is our next tip for first-time travelers. I know, packing light is not so easy especially if you are a girl. But trust me, this is as important as your documents are. You should check the amount of weight you need to carry with you on the plane. And if you are traveling by any other means, you should try to carry it many times before the plan. As it makes it easy for you to manage it further.
And if you think, it is heavy than the need, then remove little necessary things and make it light. In my suggestion, try to make a backpack only if you are going nearby for one or two days. And if you are going far away for many days, then you can make a trolley bag with your backpack. Remember to make your luggage as light as possible.
When I was a traveling beginner, I seriously thought what is the use of travel insurance? And avoid taking it at that time. But now, this is a priority for me. Frequent traveling has changed my mind completely. This is the best way to protect your trip to enjoy it carefreely.
Spending a little penny on this can save a lot more for you. Unfortunately, if any accident or mishap occurs especially abroad, travel insurance can be your pocket saver. As you know the treatment and everything is costly there. Overall, travel insurance will protect your journey as it covers illness, theft, injury, or any cancellation. Whenever you are going to buy flight or train tickets, you can see an option of purchasing insurance. Just buy it and enjoy your journey to the fullest.
If you are a frequent traveler and want to explore the world, then surely make a plan in the off-season. It will save you a lot of money as bookings are cheaper during this time. But you must be wondering why to travel during the off-season. Or what about your enjoyment as destinations are crowded during seasons?
Being a world explorer, and frequent traveler, my priority is to save some money as I can enjoy myself anywhere at any time. If you are not planning for any occasion or special journey, try to do it during the off-season. Don’t worry about the seasoned festivals or weather, as saving a penny is worth it. Just do it once, and you will clearly see the difference in money saving. Also, the crowd is very less at this time which makes it even more enjoyable to explore the places without any hustle.
Never ever store your money in one place, especially during travel. You must have heard about money theft or lost penny problem on the journey. So, why repeat that mistake again and again? Be smart and make partitions of your money at different places in the luggage. And in this case, a money belt or travel wallet is a nice idea.
Always try to keep some money in your pocket, some in your luggage, some in your personal handbag, and of course some in the hotel room. You can put your valuables or money in travel wallets and hide them underneath your clothes.
Before leaving your home, you need to check all the required documents correctly. And also, you can make a copy of each and every document like passports, and visas. If your original document gets stolen or lost, you can use the copied one. As you know, this era is of digital evolutions, you can also make a digital copy of each document and keep it in your phone or email. Not only this, but you have to check the details on the documents too.
Let me tell you about one incident when I wrongly noted the date on the back-to-home flight. So, as per my wrong information, I reached late at the airport and missed the flight. But you shouldn’t repeat this mistake. So, always check all the required details on your documents, especially tickets.
The next tip is a very interesting one. As you know, locals of a particular place are a great source of information about that destination. They can tell you about safe and interesting places to visit, local cuisines to try, and some hidden gems to explore that you may not find.
They can give you a much better understanding of the local culture. You can even ask the hotel receptionist or the waiter there to know about some interesting places. As per my experience, trying local dishes is much better than eating only the repeated food options.
Last but not least
Yes, our last suggestion is common and the oldest one, but trust me, this is the most crucial one. Always be on time especially when you are traveling alone. Make your packing and documents check one night before to avoid any hush and rush.
This is one of the best tips for solo travelers to consider. If you are late from the start of the journey, your trip can go bad or you may miss something important. So, try to be punctual each and every day of the trip and make the most out of it.
