GUEST POST | 10 practical tips to travel comfortably
5/24/2016
These days, more people are realizing the true investment in travelling.
Exploring the world helps in giving us an open mind, we become more creative,
more in tune with what is going on in the world and most importantly, there is
always a unique thrill that no object can gives us when we find ourselves in a
new place.
This said, making our journeys as comfortable as possible is important
to heighten our level of experience. There are a number of things you can do to
travel comfortably and the following are ten practical tips you should keep in
mind to master the art of travelling like a pro.
Do the research
Learning about the place you are set to visit before embarking on your
journey is the first step to creating a great holiday. Get to know some of the
best places to visit, learn a bit of the language the local people speak there
and maybe even learn their customs and etiquette (especially if you are going
to a completely different country than your own) so that you won’t end up
without an idea of what you want to do with your days once you are there.
Don’t let plans rule you
While doing the research is important, you should allow yourself to
break your own schedule and wander off to explore the place. You might find an
amazing restaurant that serves authentic local food where the locals meet or
other treasure troves that are not swarmed by tourists.

Dress appropriately
When it comes to clothing, checking the weather to understand how warm
or cold the place will be is the way to determine what you are going to pack.
Remember that you will have long days wandering about, walking and travelling,
so wear clothes that are comfortable — flowy dresses that are stylish and
perfect for warm temperatures or soft chunky cardigans for cooler temperatures.
Walking gear
Unless you are going on a tropical island and plan to lounge all day,
holidays usually come with a lot of walking and standing so you have to pack
comfortable shoes that will not leave the soles of your feet bleeding by the
end of the day. Pairing white sneakers with dresses is not
only a comfortable look but you will also be on trend and if you are not a
sneakers kind of girl then lace up ballet pumps are another great option.
Use those apps
Apps are amazing! From GPS to restaurant guides or city guides, get
yourself the apps to make your holiday as easy as possible.
Hygiene kit
Seeing as when we are on holiday, we are out of the hotel for most of
the day, then carrying a hygiene kit with wipes, soaps and tissues is a good
way of feeling clean after vising the public restroom or after eating that
gelato!
Bring the entertainment
A long flight or a long train ride, bus rides and taxis, if your holiday
involves hours of travelling, then having great books to read and magazines
will help you on those occasions when you need to kill time.
Stash that cash
It is always a good idea to carry cash when you’re on holiday and even
better, stashing that cash in different places — your wallet, your trouser
pocket or your jacket pocket is a good way of ensuring you will always have
cash on you if someone ever steals your wallet or bag.
Headphones
So tiny and yet so useful! Headphones are crucial for that long flight
when that toddler just won’t sit still or on long bus rides when you just want
to shut out everyone around you and simply look at that scenery.
Pack the essentials
You really don’t need to pack your whole closet to look stylish on
holiday. Pack clothes you can mix and match, download that book on your phone, fold
everything neatly and go on this trip feeling as light as possible.
