Travel Tip
Enjoy the free stuff. Things like walking a new city, climbing a mountain, taking photos at sunset, and attending museums on free days can be some of the most worthwhile adventures of your trip.
Travel Tip
Avoid putting your things in the airplane’s seat back pockets. This is a great place to forget your valuables.
Travel Tip
To lessen the effects of jet lag, change the time on your devices &/or watch to the time of your destination. This will help you accommodate to the new schedule faster.
Travel Tip
Bring a sarong. They’re super versatile (for guys, too) and can be used as a beach cover-up, blanket, pillow, headrest, scarf, etc.
Travel Tip
Apply olive oil or diluted apple cider vinegar on a sunburn and leave it on overnight. This can heal your skin and may even turn it to a tan.
Travel Tip
Did you know websites track your IP address when booking flights so you'll book faster? Open Private Browsing or an Incognito Window when viewing routes to avoid price changes based on your visits.
Travel Tip
If you're a student, many museums, aquariums, botanical gardens, etc. around the world will offer you free or discounted entry when you show your ID card.
Travel Tip
Especially in still-developing countries, don’t appear rich & don’t appear grungy. Choose somewhere in the middle. Standing out makes you a bigger target. You’ll be treated much more like the locals if you dress similarly.
Travel Tip
If you’re short enough and didn’t bring a pillow to sleep with, use the airplane’s tray table as a headrest.
Travel Tip
Let your bank know where and when you are traveling so that they don’t put your card on hold in avoidance of fraud.
Travel Tip
Drink enough water before, during, & after your flight. Being at such high altitude dehydrates the body & makes you feel sleepy and just... bleh. Drink water & you will feel at your best for your trip. Plus, it helps equalize the pressure in your ears.
Travel Tip
Worried about over packing? Here’s a simple tip: take only what you love. If you’re still not totally sure, but it feels off, leave it out to make space for new things to love and appreciate during your trip.

Travel Tip
If you’ve got an overweight bag and don’t want to throw anything away or send any items home, layer on some of your clothes to wear on the plane. Jackets, especially.
Travel Tip
The days in the middle of the week are generally the best time to buy flights. Buy before lunch hour and chances are you’ll get an even lower price.
