Thinking of traveling and have no idea where to sta16rt? No worries. Here are some awesome travel hacks to save you money, time and pack right.
Book your flight early
This is an important first step. Booking a flight in advance helps us to save money and plan for the trip well, whereas booking a flight just a day before is costlier. Book your flight through multiple apps available, be flexible when choosing a date and time and save money.
Packing
Pack to save space in your bag. Don’t put unnecessary possessions instead, stick to absolute essentials. Make a list of things you will need to take along, and keep it as short as possible. Start by adding the items that are completely necessary and subtract the ones that are not. Then tick the ones off the list while packing.
Roll your Clothes
Pack as minimum as you can. Choose fabrics that are wrinkle free and don’t need ironing such as wool and chiffon. Select colors that you can mix and match and instead of folding, roll them into small tubes. This will create space in your luggage. Put your belts inside the shirt collars, then put them in the bag too.
The lighter your luggage, the lesser you will have to worry about moving it around and happier you will be.
In-Car Necessities
Pack the small but necessary “must-haves” in a small travel bag, the one with multiple pockets. Put your small essentials, like charger, brush, adopter and lotion in it so you can keep it when your suit case is sealed up.
Documents
Don’t forget to take important documents with you. Take photos of your documents like passport and ID card and send them to yourself on the phone.
Book your Hotel
Booking a place to stay can be a daunting task, especially when the prices are sky-rocketing. Book cost-efficient hotels through different applications like booking.com and choose from multiple low priced options the one place that suits you best and is budget friendly.
Maps
Maps will be your best friend and ultimate guide, when traveling to a new place. Check for the place beforehand through google maps to have a general idea about the city. Download the offline version of maps to be at ease.
Get Familiar with the Place
Know about the place before you travel to it. Google it and have an understanding about the place, its food places, currency and about its local population. List down the things you want to try out there.
ATMs
Use an ATM at the airport for local currency. The rates will surprise you.
These traveling tips will save you lots of bucks and help you enjoy the journey.
Have a happy travel!
