Tips to Enjoying stress-free travels
Plan your trip
Secure your tickets beforehand
If you’re travelling by plane, ferry, or train, it will do you well to secure tickets beforehand. Buying tickets ahead of time ensures that you will have a slot in the transportation you choose. Doing this also lets you avoid that frustration of having planned every detail of your trip, only for it to be cancelled because flights are fully booked.
Also, make sure to have printed copies of your tickets with you. Don’t rely on digital or electronic copies you can store on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Electronic devices could malfunction at any time, making electronic copies unreliable. It’s best to have printed copies.
Invest in an organized packing system
Next, having an organized packing system allows you to bring everything you need with you at low to no risk of losing or leaving anything behind. It’s not that difficult to do this—all you need is to pack your things according to their use and then placing them in the same areas of your backpack or luggage so that you won’t forget where you placed them. You can also attach labels so that it’s easier for you to access what you need when you need them.
If you can, buy packing cubes so that you can store your items separately inside your luggage. This will allow you to organize clothes, bottoms, socks, and other things easier. Buying packing cubes of different colors makes organizing your things easier, even if you’re always moving from one city to the next.
Memorize your passport number
Bring a fanny pack for important things
Wearing a fanny pack allows you to carry important things like your smartphone, wallet, identification cards, passport, and others with you at all times. With a small bag strapped to your waist or across your body, you won’t have to bring bigger backpacks with you at all times, especially if all you plan to do is go out of your hotel or resort room to buy something to eat or drink.
What’s more, airports consider fanny packs as clothing articles, not luggage. This allows you to use it as an extra pack for small things that should be kept within arm’s reach. Using this allows you to avoid standing up during flights to get things from your backpack in the overhead bin.
