Great Tips For Travelling
Booking and PackingBooking your trip is always the first thing you have to do, but when doing it, things can get confusing or even frustrating.
One important tip is to always book your trip in a private/incognito window. This way, the websites don't remember you were on the page before and they can't jack the prices every time you revisit it. My next tip is when to book, depart, and return. It's cheapest to book on the weekend. Tuesday and Wednesday are cheapest to depart, and Monday is the cheapest day to return. Departing and returning tend to be most expensive on the weekend. Packing for your trip can be so stressful, but not if you follow these few steps: 1. Don't pack what you don't need. So many people think they need everything in their house to go on a trip. You don't! Pack the bare minimum, and if you really need to, do laundry wherever you are, it's not to difficult. 2. Make a list. If you don't make a list, you may end up packing more than you need, or forgetting to pack things that you really do need. Lists help substantially with organization, and it will reduce your stress a lot. 3. Roll your clothes. Most people will try to fold their clothes as flatly as they can, but it never works. Instead, roll up each item. This will greatly maximize the space you have. 4. Use Ziploc bags. Using Ziploc bags will help you separate your phone chargers, headphones, camera chargers, adapters, etc. 5. Don't bring books. Many people enjoy reading a good book in their downtime on vacation. However, books can take up way too much space. Instead, invest in a Kindle or a couple ebooks or even some audiobooks. That way, all you need is a single device. |

Managing MOneyEveryone's goal for travel is to keep it as cheap as possible. How do you do this?
First of all, like I said in the Booking section, make the right choices when you are booking your trip. Second, always choose the cheaper option. However, make sure you aren’t being scammed. Also, be skeptical when locals offer you things for a ridiculously cheap price. Another tip is to eat like the locals. This can often cut down on the jacked-up tourist prices. Get a local sim card. If you are staying long enough for this to make a difference, then do it. Roaming prices can be so expensive if you are staying for a longer period of time. Full-Time Travel: If you are travelling full-time, you might want to work on the go. Here are a couple jobs that are easy to do while travelling.
