]]> For international travelers, your passport is the number one most important thing that you must protect while traveling. Losing a passport or having it damaged could result in a major travel headache, something that no one wants to experience.

So, what steps can you take towards keeping your passport safe? Here are three useful tips that can help.

Buy a Nice Cover

Passports are surprisingly flimsy for being such an important document. One way to add an extra layer of protection that will help it from being torn or ripped is a nice cover that will protect its exterior. These are available in all kinds of materials, but leather is my favorite.

Keep It in a Secret Location

Traveling with a passport can be nerve-wracking because it is a prime target for thieves to try to steal. Keep your passport, whether it’s physically on you or not, in a top-secret location that cannot be easily found by would-be robbers.

Don’t Let the Elements Ruin It

A rainstorm, a snowstorm, or extreme hot weather can be the death of an otherwise safe passport. Don’t allow your passport to be exposed to extreme conditions, which can lead to the RFID chip and pages of your passport to be ruined.

]]> Hiking is a wonderful way to combine physical exertion, natural beauty, and your insatiable taste for adventure. The possibilities for hiking are endless. But to get the most from your hiking experience, it is important that you choose your trail correctly. Here are some top tips for finding the perfecting hiking trail.

Skill Level

The first thing you always need to consider is your skill level. Some hiking trails can get quite treacherous. If you are not accustomed to walking long distances over tough terrain, don’t risk it. Always look for something that fits your skill level.

Distance

If you’re a beginner/intermediate level hiker, look for trails that range from between six to ten miles. If you are used to walking you can of course do much more. But if you are unsure, stick to those distances.

Circular

If you’re finding a hiking route, really you want a circular walk. This means that you will end where you began. This is super convenient as you can drive to your destination and then easily drive away. It also feels nicer.

Scenery

You want to trace out a route that is packed full of beautiful scenery. If you like woodland you can mark out a trail in the forest. If you like mountains take a mountain route. Some of the best hiking trails have a mix of views and terrains.

]]> Booking vacation accommodations is harder than ever in 2020 when you consider all of the factors that you have to take into consideration. Keeping yourself safe and healthy while not overspending is imperative while planning a trip during the COVID-19 crisis.

Shared vs. Private

If at all possible, you should try to avoid accommodations that are shared with other people at this point during the pandemic. Whether it’s a hostel or an Airbnb which is shared with other people, the best option for your health is to search for accomodations where you will be alone in your room or space.

Cancellation Policy

While the general situation for travel and leisure activities has become better over the past few months, you never know what might happen in the future. With that in mind, a good idea is to find accommodations with a flexible cancellation policy in order to keep your money safe.

Cleanliness Ratings

It was never a good thing to walk into a hotel room or rental house and find a non-tidy space, and that’s even more of the case during the COVID-19 pandemic. Be sure to look at cleanliness ratings for your potential booking to ensure that they do a good job cleaning and sanitizing the space between guests.

]]> We all love to travel, whether on a luxury vacation in fancy hotels or simply camping in a tent. But being a tourist can be very expensive and many people avoid vacations simply because their budget does not allow it. But going on vacation doesn’t have to be expensive. By maintaining a few basic principles, you can travel without spending a lot of money.

Online Research

Read about the destination you want to go to and the type of trip you would like to go on. Try to understand where it is best to stay for the night and the easiest spot to move between attractions.

Plan a Budget

Try to understand how much money you wish to spend on the vacation, and how much money you will have to spend each day at the tourist destination of your choice. Leave some safety margin for exceptional expenses, and of course for shopping.

If you’re tired of spending top dollar on plane tickets, here are some tips that will help you fly cheaper!

Search for Flights Using Private Browsing

Did you know that airline websites use your cookies to monitor your search activity and often raise prices on tickets based on your internet browsing history? Use a private browsing mode to keep the prices from raising based on this practice.

Buy Tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays

Did you know that the cheapest days to buy plane tickets are Tuesdays and Wednesdays? Due to lower demand on these days, airlines often lower the prices of tickets on these mid-week days.

Check Out Google Flights

Google Flights is an awesome tool that helps me to find cheap flights on a regular basis. It gives you all kinds of neat tools like price trends and “explore mode” that helps you look for cheap destinations on the days that you have available for vacation.

Sign Up for Email Lists

There are plenty of email lists and services such as Scott’s Cheap Flights and Jack’s Flight Club that provide a daily email listing current flight deals from a variety of airports, all free of charge! These services are extremely useful for helping to find cheap options.

]]> Taking your pet on the road can be challenging. Some pets are not used to taking long trips and this can be a stressful time for them. To ease their anxiety and make their experience enjoyable, here are some steps you can take:

Know your pet

Every pet has a different personality and tolerance towards change. This can be based on their age, breed characteristics and life habits. If you train your pet from an early age to spend hours in the car with you, there’s a bigger chance for things to go smoothly.

Bring their favorite toys and treats

Pets love to be entertained, and you can make them more comfortable by bringing things they are familiar with and that already have their scent. They will feel more at home, surrounded by a toy or a blanket they love.

Get pet carriers

These are super useful if your pet is on the hyper side. This way, you will ensure that your pet doesn’t accidentally get hurt and it prevents them from freely roaming around in your car or trying to get into your lap while you drive.

Make sure your pet is healthy

Don’t forget to bring their health certificate, as well as their passport if you are traveling to another country.

Take breaks

Make frequent stops for potty breaks and stretching. Pausing for some fresh air can be beneficial for both you and your pet, and can prevent any unhappy accidents from happening in the backseat. Taking breaks more often is necessary, especially if your pet suffers from motion sickness. If this is a serious problem, you can always ask your veterinarian for some anti-nausea or anxiety medication.

Find pet-friendly accommodation

Check if the places you’re staying in are pet-friendly. Many hotels and hostels nowadays have a pet-friendly policy, but it’s better to check with the staff in advance, so you can make sure your pet is welcome everywhere you go.

Bring Reading Material

I love to read, and taking a book or magazine with you on board is an easy way to make time go quickly.

Taking a page-turning book or a magazine that is a great method for making a flight go quickly.

Download and Watch a Movie or your Favorite Series

Fortunately, you can easily watch something while on a plane even if the aircraft doesn’t have fancy in-flight entertainment.

Many services such as Netflix now allow customers to download series and movies for viewing without WiFi.

Meditation

If you want to take advantage of being seated and still while on board, a plane can be the perfect place to meditate.

Instead of watching or reading something, research a meditation strategy or take calming music on the flight with you and let yourself escape during the duration of the flight.

Write a Journal Entry

If you love writing about your travels, a flight can be the perfect time to gather your thoughts about a trip and write about them.

Use the time to reflect on your time away and put your thoughts to paper. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll learn about yourself.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BviFeGHgAuD/

While the main point of a trip isn’t to spend time on your cell phone, losing the capacity to use yours can make your trip unnecessarily challenging.

Here are some reasons why taking a portable USB charger is a life-saver while traveling.

It Allows You to Use Map Apps Constantly

When you’re exploring an unknown city or place, using a maps app such as Google Maps is a must. The days of cumbersome paper maps are long behind us, and it’s easier to navigate using a map app. Unfortunately, they do run down your battery quite quickly, so it’s important to have a portable charger with you to avoid a dead phone!

It Can Be Hard to Find Outlets

When traveling to foreign countries, it’s sometimes impossible to find a good place to plug your phone in while on the go. What’s more is that sometimes, your plug won’t even work in a new country if you don’t have a converter. Using a portable USB charger takes care of this problem.

It’s a Stress That You Don’t Have to Worry About

Traveling is about enjoying the experience without being stressed. If you’re constantly worried about a dead phone, this will cause unnecessary stress. Take a portable charger with you and stop worrying about this!

]]> The most popular time of the year to travel is in the summer. Good weather and vacation time go hand in hand, and millions of people make the trek from their hometowns to different cities around the world during the months of June, July, and August.

It’s important to be comfortable even when the mercury climbs. So, here are four tips that will help you stay cool while exploring cities this summer!

Wear Light Fabrics

“Light” in this case refers to two things: both the weight and the color of the fabric. 

Avoid dark colors and heavy fabrics like wool in order to keep your body cool in the summertime.

Drink Lots of Water

Water is your best ally against overheating. Keep a liter or so of cold water in a temperature-resistant thermos and carry it with you, being sure to drink regularly!

Seek Out Spots with Air Conditioning

Instead of roasting outside all day, it’s nice to get a break inside an air-conditioned space at times. Grab a quick lunch or snack in a place with air conditioning in order to cool off.

Free Your Feet

It’s amazing how much wearing socks can make you feel hotter. Wearing sandals helps you feel much more fresh and cool during hot weather travel!

It was never a good thing to walk into a hotel room or rental house and find a non-tidy space, and that’s even more of the case during the COVID-19 pandemic. Be sure to look at cleanliness ratings for your potential booking to ensure that they do a good job cleaning and sanitizing the space between guests.

]]> We all love to travel, whether on a luxury vacation in fancy hotels or simply camping in a tent. But being a tourist can be very expensive and many people avoid vacations simply because their budget does not allow it. But going on vacation doesn’t have to be expensive. By maintaining a few basic principles, you can travel without spending a lot of money.

Online Research

Read about the destination you want to go to and the type of trip you would like to go on. Try to understand where it is best to stay for the night and the easiest spot to move between attractions.

Plan a Budget

Try to understand how much money you wish to spend on the vacation, and how much money you will have to spend each day at the tourist destination of your choice. Leave some safety margin for exceptional expenses, and of course for shopping.

If you’re tired of spending top dollar on plane tickets, here are some tips that will help you fly cheaper!

Search for Flights Using Private Browsing

Did you know that airline websites use your cookies to monitor your search activity and often raise prices on tickets based on your internet browsing history? Use a private browsing mode to keep the prices from raising based on this practice.

Buy Tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays

Did you know that the cheapest days to buy plane tickets are Tuesdays and Wednesdays? Due to lower demand on these days, airlines often lower the prices of tickets on these mid-week days.

Check Out Google Flights

Google Flights is an awesome tool that helps me to find cheap flights on a regular basis. It gives you all kinds of neat tools like price trends and “explore mode” that helps you look for cheap destinations on the days that you have available for vacation.

Sign Up for Email Lists

There are plenty of email lists and services such as Scott’s Cheap Flights and Jack’s Flight Club that provide a daily email listing current flight deals from a variety of airports, all free of charge! These services are extremely useful for helping to find cheap options.

]]> Taking your pet on the road can be challenging. Some pets are not used to taking long trips and this can be a stressful time for them. To ease their anxiety and make their experience enjoyable, here are some steps you can take:

Know your pet

Every pet has a different personality and tolerance towards change. This can be based on their age, breed characteristics and life habits. If you train your pet from an early age to spend hours in the car with you, there’s a bigger chance for things to go smoothly.

Bring their favorite toys and treats

Pets love to be entertained, and you can make them more comfortable by bringing things they are familiar with and that already have their scent. They will feel more at home, surrounded by a toy or a blanket they love.

Get pet carriers

These are super useful if your pet is on the hyper side. This way, you will ensure that your pet doesn’t accidentally get hurt and it prevents them from freely roaming around in your car or trying to get into your lap while you drive.

Make sure your pet is healthy

Don’t forget to bring their health certificate, as well as their passport if you are traveling to another country.

Take breaks

Make frequent stops for potty breaks and stretching. Pausing for some fresh air can be beneficial for both you and your pet, and can prevent any unhappy accidents from happening in the backseat. Taking breaks more often is necessary, especially if your pet suffers from motion sickness. If this is a serious problem, you can always ask your veterinarian for some anti-nausea or anxiety medication.

Find pet-friendly accommodation

Check if the places you’re staying in are pet-friendly. Many hotels and hostels nowadays have a pet-friendly policy, but it’s better to check with the staff in advance, so you can make sure your pet is welcome everywhere you go.

While some airlines and aircrafts provide flyers with in-flight entertainment and WiFi, you often have to pay high priced to use these services, if they exist at all.

Here are some ways to make flying more bearable and entertaining.

Bring Reading Material

I love to read, and taking a book or magazine with you on board is an easy way to make time go quickly.

Taking a page-turning book or a magazine that is a great method for making a flight go quickly.

Download and Watch a Movie or your Favorite Series

Fortunately, you can easily watch something while on a plane even if the aircraft doesn’t have fancy in-flight entertainment.

Many services such as Netflix now allow customers to download series and movies for viewing without WiFi.

Meditation

If you want to take advantage of being seated and still while on board, a plane can be the perfect place to meditate.

Instead of watching or reading something, research a meditation strategy or take calming music on the flight with you and let yourself escape during the duration of the flight.

Write a Journal Entry

If you love writing about your travels, a flight can be the perfect time to gather your thoughts about a trip and write about them.

Use the time to reflect on your time away and put your thoughts to paper. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll learn about yourself.

While the main point of a trip isn’t to spend time on your cell phone, losing the capacity to use yours can make your trip unnecessarily challenging.

Here are some reasons why taking a portable USB charger is a life-saver while traveling.

It Allows You to Use Map Apps Constantly

When you’re exploring an unknown city or place, using a maps app such as Google Maps is a must. The days of cumbersome paper maps are long behind us, and it’s easier to navigate using a map app. Unfortunately, they do run down your battery quite quickly, so it’s important to have a portable charger with you to avoid a dead phone!

It Can Be Hard to Find Outlets

When traveling to foreign countries, it’s sometimes impossible to find a good place to plug your phone in while on the go. What’s more is that sometimes, your plug won’t even work in a new country if you don’t have a converter. Using a portable USB charger takes care of this problem.

It’s a Stress That You Don’t Have to Worry About

Traveling is about enjoying the experience without being stressed. If you’re constantly worried about a dead phone, this will cause unnecessary stress. Take a portable charger with you and stop worrying about this!

]]> The most popular time of the year to travel is in the summer. Good weather and vacation time go hand in hand, and millions of people make the trek from their hometowns to different cities around the world during the months of June, July, and August.

It’s important to be comfortable even when the mercury climbs. So, here are four tips that will help you stay cool while exploring cities this summer!

Wear Light Fabrics

“Light” in this case refers to two things: both the weight and the color of the fabric. 

Avoid dark colors and heavy fabrics like wool in order to keep your body cool in the summertime.

Drink Lots of Water

Water is your best ally against overheating. Keep a liter or so of cold water in a temperature-resistant thermos and carry it with you, being sure to drink regularly!

Seek Out Spots with Air Conditioning

Instead of roasting outside all day, it’s nice to get a break inside an air-conditioned space at times. Grab a quick lunch or snack in a place with air conditioning in order to cool off.

Free Your Feet

It’s amazing how much wearing socks can make you feel hotter. Wearing sandals helps you feel much more fresh and cool during hot weather travel!
