If you haven’t seen our Travel Tips show then where have you been? How are you even surviving your trip without our best travel tips? On this show, our colleague, Jasmine sits down every Tuesday in front of a camera and shares the most essential travel tips with you. In this episode, we have 5 tips to become a master traveler in 2021! We are not getting any younger, so start traveling like a pro today.
Watch our 5 tips to become a master traveler in 2021!
Tip #1 – Pack light
You don’t need to take all your clothes, toiletries, electronics with you, which will lead you to carry unnecessary weight around. Write down a list of everything you need, cut the list in half, and only pack that. It might seem scary to pack only half but you will thank us. Make sure to also check out the previous Travel Tips episode, where we give you tips on how you can travel with only one bag here.
Tip #2 – Travel on your own at least once
Traveling on your own is a whole different experience than traveling alone. You learn more about yourself and how to navigate in a foreign country without having to rely on anyone but yourself. We recommend everyone to travel on their own at least once in their lifetime!
Tip #3 – Get lost
Don’t be afraid to get lost when traveling because that’s one of the beauties of traveling. Wander around without a map and find some hidden gems along the way. When it’s time to go home, use google maps or ask people for directions.
Tip #4 – Be open to strangers
Especially as a woman, you might be a bit more cautious about who you talk to, but we are here to tell you that not everyone is out to get you. There are people who genuinely want to be your friend and get to know you. Be friendly but not naive and you might come home with a bunch of new friends around the world!
Tip #5 – Expect everything to go wrong
There is not a single person out there who has gone traveling without coming home with at least one thing that went wrong. Expect everything to go wrong because something will… and don’t be too hard on yourself when it does.
