The post Protect Your Passport in 3 Easy Steps! appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>So, what steps can you take towards keeping your passport safe? Here are three useful tips that can help.
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.
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.
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.

]]>If you’re a relative novice and looking to plan a surf trip, here are some things you should do in order to ensure its success!
It’s crucial to put effort into researching what beaches and areas are ripe for surfing. Planning a trip to any old beach won’t cut it, as some ocean spots don’t have currents or waves favorable for surfing.
Surf schools are a great resource for those who are learning the sport. Unless you’re a pro, you will probably want to book a class at a surf school, or at the very least, use one as a place to rent wetsuits, surfboards, and other gear for your trip. Be sure to investigate and choose a good one!
Surfing is a difficult sport to learn, and there are times when it just won’t be possible to learn or catch a good wave because of weather or tides. Don’t get frustrated while on your trip at the weather nor at the slow process of learning. Just enjoy the experience!

]]>As fun as it might be to go to a new continent, it’s often bothersome when you and your body just can’t adjust to a multiple-hour difference in time.
Here are our top tips to help minimize jet lag and make the most of your trips.
If you can, start prepping your body for the new time zone by adjusting your schedule at home. Waking up earlier and going to bed earlier, for example, can make all the difference if you’re heading east. This will help you to adjust to the new schedule.
If you’re on an overnight flight, it’s essential to sleep on the plane in order to adjust to the new schedule and avoid jet lag. This will help you arrive rested and ready to take on the new city in the morning.
Alcohol and coffee are two no-nos while making long trips. Alcohol will dehydrate your body and make you feel worse and more tired once you arrive in a new place. Drinking coffee stimulates your body and can trick it into thinking that you don’t need rest or sleep when you really do.
Natural light helps your body know what time it is in your destination. It helps your body’s internal clock adjust via the natural light (or lack thereof) whenever you arrive in a new time zone.

]]>Nervous flying is a fact of life, but you can take some steps to put yourself more at ease during air travel. Here are some tips that will help you have a better experience.
Everything is a little less daunting during the day, right? Those who don’t like flying usually find the experience at night to be even more disorienting and uncomfortable than usual. Go for daytime air travel, which is a better option.
Nothing is better than a distraction. Be sure to bring a book, a magazine, or a device full of movies or TV series to watch during your flight. This is the best way to take your mind of flying and distract your brain completely from the process.
Believe it or not, air travel is actually really, really safe. In fact, air travel is the safest form of mass transportation by far. A serious accident only happens once in over 2 million flights nowadays. Put your mind at ease by simply looking at the raw numbers.

]]>With that being said, sometimes it really hurts your feet! Walking around on uneven, old sidewalks and streets can tear up your feet and make it painful to keep on exploring.
Fortunately, there are some strategies and tricks that’ll help protect your feet and keep you walking while traveling. Here are some useful tips to help protect your feet while exploring cities while traveling.
If you’re going to be walking around a city, you need the right shoes for the occasion. You won’t want to trapeze 10 miles in a day while wearing flip-flops. Try to take appropriate shoes for walking on pavement, which could be anything from running shoes to a supportive slip-on.
One common problem that results while traveling when walking a lot is blisters. These usually occur because your feet sweat and the wet skin rubs against the shoe, creating a blister. Breathable socks will help keep your feet dry and healthy while doing a lot of walking.
There are plenty of products available on the market that are portable and give your feet a nice massage at the end of a long day. Taking one with you will help cure foot pain and keep you ready for plenty of walking.

]]>This type of illness has a name: “altitude sickness.” It happens to the human body when the lack of oxygen at high altitudes deprives the body of its normal amount of the gas. This causes various symptoms that can be quite uncomfortable.
Altitude sickness provokes fatigue, headaches, nausea, and vomiting, and even trouble breathing.
Here are some ways to relieve altitude sickness while traveling in high places.
One key for mitigating the symptoms of altitude sickness is drinking lots of water. High altitudes rob the body of water through sweat and low humidity, so it’s important to drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration and feeling ill.

]]>This doesn’t mean that the souks are perfect or without potential dangers. It’s important to know how to stay safe and keep your wallet from shrinking too fast within them.
So, here are some essential tips to have a fantastic souk experience.
Souk vendors can be very aggressive. They may try to get you to buy things in a pushy, rude fashion. Don’t be afraid to refuse and say “no” if you feel uncomfortable or if you’re being hassled by one.
The souks are truly a maze, and their complex and complicated structure aren’t handled well by Google Maps. It’s best to just feel your way through the souks and use reference points as a means of knowing how to navigate.
If a store is packed with tourists and pushy sellers, you’ll want to avoid it. Instead, look for the stores and hawkers that deal with locals to know the best places to buy things.
The souks are packed with people and can be claustrophobic. Be sure to keep a close eye on your wallet and phone, because pickpockets are definitely a danger within them.

]]>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.
When you’re exploring an unknown city or place, using a maps app such as Google Maps is a must.

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!
