10+ Super Clever Tips For A Fun And Fuss-Free Travel Experience

Love traveling and hate packing! Or maybe you’re a spontaneous traveler, ready to leave at a moment’s notice but you end up leaving something important behind? We have here a list of things to make your travel fuss free.

We have here a list of things to make your travel fuss free:

1. Scarf it safe!

The scarf purse comes with a discreet pocket that enables you to enjoy your vacation hands-free without having to compromise on carrying essentials. It’s finally time to bid adieu to fanny packs. This scarf purse is a must for all those adventurers; keep your passport, cell phone and money safe without having to carry a sling bag. The scarf is the least likely item to get stolen and it’ll also protect you from harsh weather. If the options available online don't suit your taste or if you find them expensive, go ahead and make your own scarves with the help of a trusted tailor!

2. Roll with it!

Rolling clothes instead of folding them is a better packing trick because it enables you to add more to your bag/suitcase and is comparatively lesser prone to wrinkles than folded clothes. Rolling your clothes in tissue paper also reduces creases. But whether you’re rolling or folding, the mantra is to NOT pack more than you need. Try reducing on carrying a number of footwear by packing comfortable walking shoes/flats in a neutral block colour that might go with all your outfits.

3. Nothing but the bag on your back!

Invest in a good backpack rather than a suitcase because it’ll give you the ease of carrying around everything you need on your back! Wheeled luggage is always an option, but not if you need to lug your bags up or downstairs or on gravel roads. Backpacks also take your adventure quotient up a notch and makes you less of a tourist and more of a traveler! Any adventure store will be able to guide you on backpacks suitable for the body built and type.

4. Map your way!

Always carry a hard copy of a map of the city you're going to, save your phone charge and internet costs for when you really need it! Besides, finding your way with the help of a map helps you immerse yourself in a new place, rather than blindly following the GPS on your phone. Carry a pen and paper to write down important contact numbers or addresses for times when technology fails you. (And we assure you, sometimes it does!)

5. Shampoo bars

Can never remember what amount of liquid is allowed on airplanes? Try looking for shampoo bars and soap bars online. Leaky bottles and ruined clothes will no longer dampen your trip. Or better yet, try purchasing small bottles when you’ve reached your destination!

6. Chapstick to get you out of a sticky situation!

Nothing ruins a trip more than losing your items or having them stolen. (And more often than not, Murphy’s law will take care of your wallet or phone.)Keep some emergency cash in an emptied-out chapstick container or plastic or metal chewing gum containers.

7. No need to miss your junk

Can’t do without your junk jewellery while traveling?Well here’s just the trick for you! String your necklaces through a straw to avoid getting them tangled and use pill boxes to keep your earrings organized.

8. Blog Buddies

Join a travel forum or follow a travel blogger to get real time updates, tips and reviews on the places you’re visiting. There really is no better way to plan your trip than asking someone who’s recently been there; and more importantly, they’ll be able to connect you with people who can help you scout the best places for local food and events; only makes your trip that much better!

9. Stuck in the dark?

Use a plastic container such as an empty water bottle or jerry can to instantly brighten up your surroundings. Place your phone flashlight or any other small flashlight in a dry plastic container to make it brighter. Perfect for those dark dingy restrooms while on a road trip or for when you’re camping.

10. Be aware of local laws

Be respectful of the places you’re visiting and ensure you're not violating any social norms or laws, which is a sure way to ruin your trip. Also try and learn few phrases in the local language to help navigate your experience.

11. Instant Phone speakers

Think you’ve found the perfect sunset or sunrise to enjoy your favourite song with your friends but you’re phone speakers aren’t loud enough? We have just the trick! Place your phone in a glass to amplify the sound. Instant speakers on the go!

9 Essential Tips To Follow When Packing For A Trip

As much fun as it is to go for vacations, packing is a pain in all its glory. From space issues to remembering each and every essential item, the process of packing is anonymous to a living nightmare for all of us. Worry no more, with these handy tips packing your bag is just a matter of a few minutes of investment.

Wearing the bigger gear

Instead of carrying the heavy gears, wear them to reduce luggage weight and save space! Wearing a heavy long jacket or a pair of boots saves you space for 3 more t-shirts and small knick knacks!

Packing Cubes

Easily available, they come in a set of multiple storage cubes. Keep your dirty shoes separated from fresh clothes or pack categorically to save the time in finding a needle in hay (sic). Same goes for your makeup items and toiletries. Put them in a pouch to make life easier.

Tiny Storage Bottles

Carrying a 500ml lotion bottle to a 3-day trip is completely unnecessary. With the lotion bottle, a woman will have 8 more that follow, resulting in a mayhem of storage issue in the bag. Buy storage bottles of small capacities. Transfer your product into these and voila! This hack is a boon in the name of travel hack!

Hairdryer

An unlikely entry, but this serves as a multipurpose tool when on trips. Not just for your hair, this comes in handy when you have to urgently dry a sock or an undergarment.

Medicine Container

Use these as storage boxes for your jewellery and enjoy a hassle-free time on your vacation.

Extra Care for Liquids

To prevent the horrific ‘accidental shampoo bottle explosion’ or dripping of any sort, just cut a small piece of plastic wrap and press them under the cap of your bottle for air-tightening it. No more drips!

Roll and stack

Keeping a rolled piece of clothing saves more space than a folded one does. No need to worry about the wrinkles; a properly rolled cloth does not leave any wrinkle on it. Make your bag more compact with this easy hack.

Check and Pack Rule

The thumb rule to packing is to make a list, sort individual item into stacks according to the list and all you are left with is putting them in the bag. This prevents haphazard packing and leaves no chance of forgetting an item. A checklist comes in handy even if you are in a rush and do a hurried packing at the last moment. A list, check, pack and set off!

Know what is essential

There may come a time when because of storage space, you may have to leave behind some of the items. Essentials on the priority list of the most necessary ones for the trip are what finally make it to the bag.

Minimalistic packing is the key to an organized travel bag. Keep it simple and cut out the burden of packing with our list of simple hacks!

Travel in 2018: These 10 Breathtaking Destinations are a must on your Travel Bucket List

March 2018 

Credit : freepik.com

The best way to look forward to a new year is by planning your travel and making a bucket list. But it can be tough to pick a place when there are a million possibilities. So, to make your life easy, we recommend these 10 beautiful destinations that have something for everyone:

1) Bratislava, Slovakia: This 18th-century town is known for its lively bars and cafes. It is inexpensive compared to the rest of western Europe, making it the perfect destination for budget travellers. There are mountains dotted with hiking and cycling trails and it’s a pedestrian-only town, which makes it ideal for long romantic walks.

2) Marrakesh, Morocco: Called the ‘Red City’, Marrakesh is magical any time of the year. Explore the souks, gardens, palaces, and mosques in all their historic glory. It’s a shoppers paradise with markets filled with traditional textile, pottery, and jewellery.

3) Fiji: Made of 333 picture perfect islands tucked away in the South Pacific, Fiji is an ideal destination for a tropical beach holiday. There are many activities on offer — sky diving and dirt biking, to river rafting and scuba diving.

4) Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Head to this buzzing city to experience Ethiopia’s rich culture and traditional crafts. Visit the National Museum where prehistoric fossils are on display. When in Addis Ababa, drink a macchiato at Tomoca Coffee, share a plate of injera, and soak into the Ethio jazz scene.

5) Jamaica: This Caribbean island is a pretty hot honeymoon destination. Most of its resorts are clustered in Montego Bay, known for its British colonial architecture. The birthplace of reggae music, it’s home to the Bob Marley Museum.

6) The Azores, Portugal: These islands are known for their dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, and blue hydrangeas. Recently, air restrictions to this region were eased, which means more choices and cheaper fares. So, book right now.

7) Yokohama, Japan: Known as the second largest metropolis, Yokohama is just a 20-minute train ride from Tokyo. It’s got the appeal of a bayside location, interesting architecture, microbreweries, and good food.

8) Tasmania, Australia: This island state is known for its wilderness, extreme temperatures (something you’d not associate with Australia) and many parks and reserves. Visit Hobart, its capital for Georgian warehouses converted into galleries, open-air museums, and picturesque landscape.

9) Finland: Travel like the star couple Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli to Finland, which is the perfect destination for an end-of-the-year travel. During December, it gets converted into a winter wonderland. You can chase the Northern Lights, or stay cosy in front of a fire.

10) Šolta, Croatia: Croatia is made of over 1,200 islands, but travel between these was cumbersome. However, now with the introduction of UberBOAT in 2018, it is easy to navigate around the pristine beaches and medieval villages. Šolta is known for its seaside bars, open-air restaurants, and beach clubs.
