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

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

Avoid putting your things in the airplane’s seat back pockets. This is a great place to forget your valuables.

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

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

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

Apply olive oil or diluted apple cider vinegar on a sunburn and leave it on overnight. The vitamins in each can heal your skin and may even turn it to a tan, depending on your skin type.

Travel Tip

Airlines will use any trick in the book to get the highest price from you, including checking your IP address (where you're searching from and what device you're using) while you're searching for flights. You may even notice them hike up the price minutes before you're ready to book. To avoid this, try using a VPN--a service that changes your IP address--from a different country - I like to use ProtonVPN for this trick.

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 and lessen jet lag.

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

While the jury is still out about when the exact best time to buy a flight is, the days in the beginning and middle of the week generally have the lowest prices. Buy before lunch hour and chances are you’ll get an even lower price. Weekends are almost always more expensive.

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

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

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.
