Travel Tips

Here are some tips if your going away to a vacation to a different country.

1: Make a checklist of the necessary items you want to bring. Some necessary items may be toiletries, medication, sunscreen and whatever your heart desires.

2: Book airfare and accommodations two months before your trip. This is especially useful if you're going to a country with major festivities, as the prices may even double in airfare and hotels.

3: Budget travelling? Buy your food at a local supermarket. Still want to taste the cuisine of the country you're going to? Buy street food from hawkers and stalls.

4: Group travelling? Assign one of you to be a treasurer. All the people in the group must then contribute an amount of money and put it in a pouch courtesy of the treasurer. Every expense must be paid using the money inside the pouch, such as entrance fees, food and souvenirs.

5: Use all your money. If you're going to a country that does not accept your own currency, it is advisable to spend all your money there. You don't want to get ripped-off by the exchange rates twice, don't you?

6: If you think flights are crazy boring, bring something that you can enjoy doing whilst in a flight. Enjoy reading? Bring a book. Enjoy playing games? Fully charge your phone or bring an iPad or whatever. Enjoy sleeping? Bring a neck-pillow.
