Be Realistic

Being realistic is extremely important when it comes to travel goals, especially right now, with so many travel restrictions still in place. An exotic trip to Bali may not be a realistic goal at the moment, but that shouldn’t stop you from exploring the natural beauty of your own country.

Money Moves

Another problem with epic trips to foreign countries is their high price tag. If you’re tight on money, they’re probably out of reach, but you can still save up and go on an exciting road trip to a nearby national park or tourist resort.

Short Trip

If lack of money isn’t stopping you from hitting the road, it’s probably lack of time. No matter how packed your schedule is, it’s still possible to travel more if you think outside of the box. Explore the beauty of weekend getaways and day-trips instead of waiting to have a full week off.

“I love an adventure,” said Lack in an interview with Lonny, admitting that she tends to get bored when standing still. “I also love how [traveling] smashes the pre-conceived notions you have about the world, even when you don’t realize you have them!” she notes. Having written for brands and publications like Cosmopolitan, Harper’s BAZAAR, and Martha Stewart, she clearly has an eye for beauty.

But she admits it took her some time before jumping onboard the social media bandwagon. “I wasn’t a super-early adopter [of Instagram],” she relayed. “When I finally did, it was because it seemed like hearing about it from friends had reached a fever pitch. I thought the real-time peek into someone’s life—and the cool places they were going—sounded intriguing.”

With traveling ill advised on the heels of COVID-19, it’s good to be reminded of the beauty and splendor this planet has to offer and what we stand to lose of we don’t take care of our environment. “We’re all human,” says Lack, “trying to get by and struggling with and finding joy in the same things—only in different settings.”

Support Local Communities

If you can, it’s always a good idea to support the locals who rely on tourism. Small local restaurants and food corners and family-run hotels are just some examples of businesses run by people who make your trips more convenient. 

Reduce Carbon Footprint

When possible, avoid traveling by plane or driving a car. You can lower the CO2 emission by going to destinations closer than you, taking a train, or riding a bike more. When exploring a new city, do it on foot or rent a bike or electric scooter and help reduce carbon footprint.

Be Gentle with Animals

The lack of safari tourism is a good thing for African animals, but when things go back to normal, we should be extra careful about preserving their habitats while exploring these parts of the world. Seeing wildlife in person is always exciting, as long as we’re respectful guests.

Visit Cathedrals and Churches

Paris is home to some of Europe’s most beautiful and significant cathedrals and churches such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chappelle, Saint-Denis Basilica or Royal Necropolis. Visiting these historical sites is a must on your trip to Paris and it’s also free of charge.

Panoramic Views

Taking in the magnificent panoramic view of Paris’ skyline is probably the most exhilarating free thing you can experience in this city. There are plenty of places you can visit to get panoramic views of Paris besides the Eiffel Tower, such as the top of Montmartre or Parc de Belleville.

Parks

The Jardin du Luxembourg, the Jardin d’Acclimation, the Jardin des Tuileries and Buttes-Chaumont are just a few of many pretty parks you can find in Paris. Go for a long walk or a picnic and you’ll have the most unforgettable time here for sure.

Portable Washing Machine

This portable wash bag that can fit into a pocket can be a lifesaver if you’re camping or backpacking and can’t afford to bring a lot of clothes on your adventures. This wash bag will clean clothes in less than 3 minutes with only 2 or 3 liters of water and a bit of washing detergent.

Water Purifier Bottle

Finding drinking water on your travels can prove to be difficult sometimes and you certainly don’t want to risk having health problems in a foreign country. That’s why this awesome device that can transform almost any tap or clear natural water into drinking water is the most useful thing you can buy for yourself.

Portable Bluetooth Speaker

A portable Bluetooth speaker is not a new thing on the market and many people already own one of these useful travel gadgets. Just in case you don’t have it already, we have to mention that it’s on the must-have list of any avid traveler.

Low Prices

We all know that traveling can be very expensive and accommodation takes up a large part of the cost. If you’re willing to stay in someone’s home instead of a hotel, Airbnb is a great economical alternative.

Meet a Local

Staying in someone’s home for a few days has many perks and meeting your host and other local people is definitely one of them.

Feel at Home

Staying at a hotel is an impersonal experience as opposed to the relaxed and warm atmosphere you can experience in an Airbnb host’s home.

It’s Convenient

Finding and booking an Airbnb accommodation is easy, fast, and very convenient. Once you’ve filled out your profile and gone through the verification process, you only need to put in your travel dates and search for available spaces at your travel destination.

Do Your Research

Don’t make plans as you go along if you know your time is limited. Do proper research long before embarking on your journey, know how much time it takes to reach each of the attractions on your list, and figure out when you’re going to take a break.

Set Your Priorities Straight

The attractions you’re checking out should be in close proximity to each other. If you want to see something that’s located far away from the main area you’re visiting, see if you can travel there by public transportation and make sure you’re not going to the other side of the city for a single attraction.

No Long Lines

24 hours is enough to scratch the surface by seeing the main spots, but you have to come to terms with the fact you won’t see everything that’s worth seeing. Attractions with long waiting lines are a luxury you can’t afford, and exploring their exterior is the best you can do in a single day.

Dress Appropriately

We don’t have to stress that jeans are out of the question during a heatwave, as well as black clothes, because they absorb heat. Try to pack lightweight clothing like white linen dress or shorts that you can combine with different tops. Comfortable shoes and a hat that will protect you from the sun are also a must.

Hydrate

Whether you’re traveling or not, drinking plenty of water is the number one rule during summer. This is particularly important if you’re traveling to a country with low or high humidity.

Avoid Midday Heat

Plan your schedule accordingly and reserve early morning and late evening hours for sightseeing. In some countries, the hottest part of the day can last as late as 6 or 7 p.m. Use this time to rest and then you can continue with your activities.

Wear Sunscreen

When packing for your summer trip, don’t forget to bring sunscreens of varying factors. Wearing sunscreen on a daily basis is a must to avoid sunburns that you can easily get without noticing.

Shopping Locally

Even if you don’t bring cash with you, chances are you’ll end up using an ATM. Trying street foods and buying souvenirs from local vendors is an essential part of traveling, and you usually can’t pay for these things with card.

Unexpected Emergency

None of us think we’ll end up having our wallet lost or stolen, but these things can happen. That’s why you should take necessary precautions while traveling and always stash some money in a safe place.

Card Issues

Carrying cash doesn’t mean you should ditch your card – it just means you shouldn’t rely on a single method of payment. In case your card ends up being suspended, you’ll have cash to fall back on until the problem is solved.
