Multiple countries, thousands of flights, and endless road trips. That is the life of a travel writer, and he teaches you many good things. I would like to share some of my travel tips with you as I have found them very useful on every trip I have taken.
Be upset
It’s time to talk to different people. The waiter, the concierge, the bartender, or that nice-looking customer sitting at the next table. Ask them questions about what to watch and you’ll find that people will love to share their tips and knowledge with you. Trust me, a lot of people get nervous, but if you start a random conversation, you’re one step away from the next hidden gem.
get out of bed
This is the hardest thing to deal with, especially for those who love to stay in bed a little longer than usual. You better get up early because a lot happens before brunch time. So get out and head to a Washington restaurant for breakfast or hit the best beach in Italy before the hordes of tourists arrive. Trust me, you won’t regret this one; you can sleep as long as you want once you get home.
Keep your phone charged
There is nothing worse than being left without technology due to a dead battery. Keep a power bank with you so you never run out of battery.
join the cloud
That iPhone is worthless, and that’s for one main reason: photos. Memories are the best thing that is done on trips, and without them the charm of going on a trip would be lost. Gone are the days when you used to keep manual backup. Apple now keeps you covered with iCloud, set up your cloud and get access to every photo and video from anywhere.
remember your favorites
Remember that fantastic restaurant you went to the last time you visited New York four years ago? No? That’s bad! Next time just ask your phone to remember it, in Google Maps just type the name of the place and then press “save”. This method will help you star it so you can always go back and check it out.
Bring cash
From Amsterdam to Cambodia, being short of money is not a big problem. You won’t find an ATM everywhere, and you won’t always be able to use your debit/credit cards to pay for hotels, bars and restaurants. Take emergency cash with you around $150 in USD or the local currency of the destination you are visiting.
