Summer season is finally here! Let us help you have an enjoyable trip with these 10 simple tips when it comes to traveling.
1. Make a list.
This
tip is essential especially for those who easily forget things. Make a list of
the things that you must bring or pack and the places you want to visit, and
keep a copy of your itinerary. This will help you feel at ease about traveling,
especially if this is your first time.
2. Photocopy important
Documents.
You can also include this to
tip #1. Always keep a photocopy of important documents like your passport with
you. You’ll never know where and when untoward incidents may happen; it is
better to be safe than sorry in the end.
3. The right #OOTD.
When
traveling, we all should take in consideration the clothes we bring and wear.
Of course they must be #OOTD-ready but most importantly, they should be
comfortable for all those long walks and side trips that are going to happen
while on tour.
Also take into consideration
the weather of the place you’re going to. Make sure to research ahead of time
the climate in your destination during the time of your visit.
4. Pack Lightly.
Packing
could be very stressful especially if you want to travel in style. But be
mindful of the things you pack or you might be charged of an additional fee overloaded
luggage. One tip when packing lightly is to plan your outfits beforehand so
that you would not bring unnecessary stuff.
Another
tip is to know the place that you are staying in. If you’re staying in a hotel,
most likely you won’t have to pack towels, blankets or slippers. That can be helpful
when you’re packing.
5. Be
Flexible.
As much as possible, we want to
plan things ahead and stick to that plan but in traveling we must also be ready
to accept delays. And when the delays come up, we must not be disappointed and
just accept that these are part of traveling.
Sometimes, things that are not
planned can become part of life-long memories.
6. Safety comes
first.
Aside
from packing your clothes and necessities, always pack with you a travel-size
first aid kit. The first aid kit may include medicines (vitamins, food
supplements, headache medicine, allergies, insect repellent and etc.)
7. Speak
Local.
Traveling
invites you to new cultures. Speaking a few phrases like “Thank you”, “Hello”
and “I’m Sorry” could help you get around your destination. Aside from learning
some local phrases, talk to locals. Talking to locals could give you a
different feel of the place you’re visiting. Remember, they know the place
better than anyone. They can teach or tour you to another side of the place.
8. Explore.
Sometimes
getting lost can be a blessing in disguise. Don’t be afraid to explore the
place. You’re traveling to learn and experience something new. Get out of your
comfort zone and always try something new.
9. Capture the
memories.
Take a lot of photos, they are the
best souvenirs that you could have. And they are free.
10. Enjoy.
We saved the best for last, and
that is to enjoy your trip. Whatever may happen during your trip, keep in mind
that you are there to make memories that will last for a lifetime.
