]]>Bring Tinned Pulses
Tins of pulses are your best friend when cooking while camping. They are super healthy and really easy to prepare. They’re also very versatile and can be used as the base for many meals including pasta, salads, and sandwiches. They are also excellent sources of protein, making them perfect to bring along on your trip.
Opt for Nuts and Seeds for Snacks
If you love to snack between meals then try to bring high-protein snacks with you. Instead of chips, bring some salted nuts or a bag of mixed seeds. These will keep you feeling fuller for longer and contribute to your protein goals.
Don’t Forget Fish
As well as tinned pulses, tinned fish is an ideal way to get some healthy protein while camping. You can choose from a range of fish types, such as tuna, sardines, mackerel, and much more.

]]>Start With Easier Hikes First
There’s really no reason at all that you should be taking on the more challenging hikes before doing the easier ones first. If you skip steps, all that means is that you don’t respect the process. It makes it seem as though you don’t actually love hiking itself, and just want to show off to the world that you climbed super high mountains.
If you’re truly dedicated to climbing, you’ll eventually get to the big ones. When it’s Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Everest, or any of the other famous ones, you’ll get there one day if you really want it. But if you skip the steps, you might not be prepared and could end up getting hurt. Take it slow and steady.

]]>An Itinerary
The first thing you should do is prepare an itinerary for your trip. Now listen, we’re not saying that you should plan every single moment, because you want there to be room for spontaneity when you’re there. However, it’s always good to have some sort of a plan, and that includes having a good idea what you’re going to be doing there.
Proper Attire
Another thing to look out for is what you’re going to wear when you get there. You should be taking the weather into consideration, as well as any events you may be attending, and social norms as well.

Finally, this should go without saying, but you’d better make sure that you have a place to stay when you get there. Some people love traveling by the seat of their pants, assuming that they’ll find a place when they get there. But it’s always best to be as prepared as possible, so make sure you handle this.

]]>Are You Sheltered From the Wind?
When you initially park and get out, it may feel like a slight breeze is manageable. Of course, a gentle breeze is, but don’t be too complacent if there is a fair amount of wind around. When you are trying to sleep later, the noise of the wind and the rocking of the van will likely keep you awake much more than you might imagine.
(@piaeliza)Are There Houses Nearby?
Sometimes you think you are in the middle of nowhere but it turns out there are some homes just around the corner. Most people would rather not have someone parked up near their house which is fair enough, so make sure to double check you truly are surrounded by nature.
Do You Have a Good View?
Whether it’s of the sunset, or a perfect view of the night sky, having a nice view to enjoy is a big part of the whole experience and good to factor into decisions.

]]>Meaningful Connections
One of the magic ingredients of hostels is actually not the hostel itself, but the people staying in it. From fellow travelers to friendly receptionists, hostels are filled with the energy of shared experiences and human connections. You can swap stories in the common room, find cool partners to explore the city with, and maybe even form lifelong friendships.
Authentic Local Insights
Travel guidebooks are okay and all, but nothing beats insider tips from those in the know. Both hostel staff and other travelers are a goldmine of local knowledge. Get the best recommendations for hidden gems, authentic eateries, and unique adventures you won’t find in any tourist brochure.
Community Vibes and Unforgettable Experiences
Hostels aren’t just places to crash at the end of the day—they’re miniature communities of like-minded people. Whether it’s group outings or spontaneous jam sessions, there’s always something going on. Plus, hostels often organize activities and tours, which is super useful.

]]>Alonissos, Greece (instead of Santorini)
Why spend a ton of money on Santorini when you can visit Alonissos? It’s like Santorini’s cheaper cousin, with picture-perfect beaches, cute little villages, and yummy Greek eats. Plus, this island offers a close look at amazing wildlife and various endangered animal species.
Gili Islands, Indonesia (instead of the Maldives)
The Maldives are great—if you can afford it. But if not, the Gili Islands will provide a cheaper, no less worthy alternative. It offers crystal-clear waters, snorkeling for days, and the island vibes you so desperately crave—all without overbudgeting on fancy resorts. Maldives, who?
Porto, Portugal (instead of Bordeaux, France)
Who needs Bordeaux when you can sip on quality local wine in Porto? This lovely European city offers similar historic charm, Insta-worthy views, and buzzing nightlife—all without draining your bank account. Kind of perfect, huh?

]]>Pick a Doable Destination
Firstly, pick a destination that’s not too far away (max three to four hour flight). That way, it won’t take precious days to recover from jet lag. Secondly, choose somewhere that’s not too overwhelming. You’re not going to be able to see it all. A city break with the possibility of day trips to a couple of other places is ideal.
Stay in MAX Two Places
You don’t want to spend the week schlepping your luggage around. Plus, it’s nice for a hotel or Airbnb to start feeling like home before you have to pack up and leave again. That’s we recommend staying in a maximum of two places on your week-long trip.
Make Time to Relax
With only seven days, it can be tempting to pack in a different activity every hour to make the most of your time. However, vacations are all about RELAXING. Make sure you leave time for a leisurely stroll and a pastry, a day at the beach, or simply time to curl up in a café with your book.

]]>Fedora
First up, the classic Fedora hat. With its timeless charm, the Fedora adds a bit of elegance to your wardrobe. Its wide brim provides excellent sun protection, making it a must-have for sunny destinations. Plus, it suits both casual and formal outfits, making it versatile for various occasions.
Baseball Hat
Is there anything more classic than a good old baseball hat? For those who are influenced by American culture, a baseball hat is one of the most common ones you’ll see people wearing. It provides protection, it’s stylish, and it can truly embody the identity of the wearer in many occasions.
Safari Hat
If you’re looking for a little bit more adventure, consider a wide-brimmed Safari hat. It’s designed to withstand the roughness of the great outdoors, offering plenty of protection from the elements. It has a rugged look, which gives you a certain “explorer vibe”—if you’re into that sort of thing.

]]>The post 3 Hair Products You Need in Humid Environments appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Hair Oil
Hair oil is great at smoothing down frizz and taming flyaways, and it can also seal the hair follicles against that pesky humidity. It’s best applied to damp hair, at the end of your styling regime. You can also smooth a tiny amount over dry hair, but take care as just a bit too much can leave your hair looking oily and lank.
Leave-In Conditioner
If you’re someone who can normally wash your hair and go, you may find that you need to allow a little more styling time in a hot, humid environment. Once you’ve washed and conditioned your hair, applying a bit of leave-in conditioner can really help combat frizz and lack of volume. If your hair is fine or shorter, start with a dime-sized amount, or opt for a lighter spray-in conditioner. Rake it through your damp hair with your fingers before drying.
Dry Shampoo
For some people, a hotter, more humid environment can actually lead to increased oil in their hair, resulting in a greasy look. Pack a small bottle of dry shampoo, to combat oily roots. This will also save you time when you’re on vacation, so you can focus on checking out another bar or lounging by the pool, rather than re-washing and styling your hair.

]]>Research Ports of Call
Before embarking on your cruise, research ports of call. This will give you an opportunity to see which ones are worthy of your time and prevent you from spending money on underwhelming experiences.
Book Early for Must-See Ports of Call
If there is a port of call that is on your “must-see” list, make sure to book it early. Oftentimes, popular cruise excursions fill up before the cruise even begins, putting you at risk of missing out. Luckily, all cruise companies allow you to book cruise excursions online, so take advantage of that.
Consider the Activity Level
Most cruise lines will have a note about the activity level required for each cruise excursion. Make sure that you are comfortable and able to handle the given activity level. Otherwise, you might have a bad experience that will sour your entire trip.
Check Out Some Ports of Call by Yourself
You don’t have to book a cruise excursion for every port of call you want to check out. Plenty of them have attractions in walking distance, so simply get off ship and start exploring.
