How to make your journey as stress-free as possible

See some trips to get fully prepared for your trip

Newsroom September 21 11:18

Even though summer has ended, you might still need some days off to refresh your mind and spirit.

Alltravelplaces gives us some tips on how to be prepared for our trip and make our jurney as stress-free as possible.

1. Reduce travel dangers by blending in. Don’t wear expensive jewelry or location-specific designer brands that shout “I am tourist”. Try to dress as locals do and avoid drawing attention to yourself.

2. Only pack the clothes you will need. We have all ended up, at least once, carrying our clothe wardrobe and wearing only a pair of jeans and some T-shirts. You can reduce the amount of clothes by packing clothes that you can easily clean by yourself.

3. If you are traveling to an area that has a high level of crime, buy your own padlock for the hotel room door. These locks are more difficult to pick than the ones the hotel will have already and no one in the hotel will have a spare one.

4. Plan your packing. Due to baggage fees and weight limits, most travelers carry one suitcase. Thereofore, to fit everything in, you need to be a smart packer. Check the weather forecast for your destination and choose the proper clothes that you can mix and match. Use layers, which can easily be added or removed as the temperature changes.

5. If you want to purchase a travel insurance, check to see if you might already be covered by your own insurance provider’s policy.

6. Last but not least, make sure you plan your journey ahead of time by checking the weather. It wouldn’t be nice to arrive to your sunny destination only to see that it;s raining cats and dogs.
