Top 15 travel tips

1. Use a special bank card

One of the best travel tips we can't help but share with you is to enable your card to be used abroad.  This way, you will be able to make use of your money in case of an emergency and you don't have cash.

Of course, the fee for these services is usually high, but some banks offer cards for international travellers. This will allow you to make purchases without extra charges, withdrawals from ATMs and lighten your trouser bag, so that your trip is hassle-free.

2. Be prepared for turbulence

We're all a little scared of travelling.  Getting on a plane inevitably brings anxiety to the fore, but there's no need to worry - flying is safer than it sounds. These vehicles are increasingly prepared for any incident.

If turbulence prevents you from resting during the flight, one of the travel tips you should take into account is to book a seat near the wings. In that area of the plane, turbulence is felt less strongly. Don't leave check-in to the last minute if you want to get one of these coveted seats.

3. Don't forget to pack an adapter.

You may not know it, but the electric current in other countries varies from the electric current in the country where you live. It is therefore advisable to pack an adapter in your suitcase. Better to be safe than to see your electrical appliances damaged by over-voltage.  ?

Ah, but don't just take an adapter... Take a power strip so you can charge all your devices without any problems. Keep in mind that some hotels are a bit stingy with plugs, so you know this!

4. Don't overpack

Have you heard about the fines for overweight luggage? Then avoid them and take what you really need. Don't be one of those people who pack a bunch of stuff "just in case", and end up using half the suitcase. Take heed of these travel tips and pack clothes according to the climate of the place you're visiting and that you know you'll use.

5. Take a power bank with you

Photos, videos, social media posts and travel apps will make your phone battery last less than a gust of wind. Thank goodness for technology, which has a solution for everything... Carry a power bank, or portable charger, in your backpack so you can charge your phone whenever and wherever you need to.

6. Do you have your passport up to date?

One of the travel tips we never fail to give our readers is to keep their passport and documents up to date. We have heard of people who, in the middle of their trip, discover that their passport has expired and are faced with an avalanche of problems and paperwork to sort it out.

What do you need to check? First, make sure your passport is up to date and valid for the duration of your stay. Secondly, make sure your passport does not expire in less than 6 months, because you could be refused entry to the country you are travelling to and lose all your money.

Ah, we almost forgot... Make a copy, physical or digital, of all your documents so that in case they are lost or stolen, you can access them and show them to the authorities whenever necessary.

7. Wear comfortable clothes for the flight

We all like to look good... Especially those girls who want to look like Hollywood stars when they fly, but when you're facing a 20-hour flight, it's not about style, it's about comfort. Save those stunning clothes for your stay and make yourself as comfortable as possible.

Your hand luggage should include a pair of headphones, a good book, an eye mask, a pillow and, if you're as cold-intolerant as some of us, a blanket or a coat.

8. Get a good hostel

If you are travelling alone and don't mind staying in a luxurious hotel, one of the best travel tips we can give you is to stay in a hostel. There are very comfortable and nice places, so you just have to find one that you like and that has good reviews.

Many people criticise hostels because they seem ugly and uncomfortable, but we have stayed in hostels on more than one occasion and it has been a very cool experience. We have met great people and saved a lot of money.

9. Don't buy flights directly from airlines

If you have bought your plane tickets with the airlines, let us tell you that you have lost a lot of money since you could have got them at a better price. What do we recommend you to do? You can use Skyscanner, for example, and get your flight to Australia, Canada, New Zealand or any other destination at the best price.
