We are in the peak of summer and I’m sure you have trips lined up to cherish this season before it ends. Prepping for your travel can be chaotic and stressful but we’ve got you covered! Maithili Bachani goes through 5 travel hacks to make your trip a bit smoother.
Look Out for Offers
It is crucial to weigh out all of your options before you book a particular flight or hotel. The best way to book flights is through incognito mode because the prices vary drastically. Have a look out for offers from your credit/debit cards; they might help in flight and hotel bookings, or the shopping before the trip!
Packing Techniques
The rule of 3 works best for anything between a 4 day trip to a week long one, 3 pairs of top, pants and shoes; you can mix and match as you like. Folding your clothes in cubes helps save space, or store them in a zip lock. You can also carry a pillowcase and stuff it with clothes to get added space and makeshift as a pillow.
Ask Locals Where They Eat
Learning 5 sentences in a new language always helps especially when it comes to finding a new meal. Asking locals what they prefer to eat is the best way to go “Where would you have your birthday dinner?” can get you the most optimal results.
Download Offline Maps
We all know the struggle of getting lost in a new city without any direction because of connection issues, it’s ideal to have the maps offline to calm that panic state that could ruin your trip.
Don’t Forget Souvenirs
The best part about taking a trip is collecting souvenirs and tchotchkes to commemorate the trip and always having a piece of the trip with you. Getting a few for your family and friends is a lovely idea as well.
