Whether you’re heading off on a Euro summer or finally ticking off that Bali getaway, here’s how to travel smarter (not harder).
1. Download Google Maps Offline — Trust the Process
No data? No drama. Download offline maps before you land and thank yourself later. Drop pins at your Airbnb, fav cafés, and touristy spots so you never get lost.
2. Roll Your Clothes Like a Pro
Rolling your clothes saves space and helps avoid the dreaded post-flight crinkles. Want to take it up a notch? Packing cubes keep things organised—and make unpacking a breeze.
3. BYO Snacks & Empty Water Bottle
Airport food can be overpriced and underwhelming. Pack your own snacks and bring an empty bottle to fill after security. Staying fuelled and hydrated makes travel days way more manageable.
4. Screenshot Everything (all your important documents)
Boarding passes, accommodation details, travel insurance—screenshot anything important. If you can’t get online, you’ll still have everything you need on hand.
5. Charge Smarter
A power board or multi-USB charger is a game changer when outlets are limited. Bonus points for bringing a portable charger for long days exploring.
7. Choose the Right ATM
When you need cash, stick to ATMs inside banks to avoid extra fees. And always withdraw in local currency—your bank’s exchange rate will usually be better.
8. Pack a Laundry Bag
A simple drawstring bag or pillowcase is all you need to keep worn clothes separate. Makes unpacking (and laundry day) way easier when you get home.
9. Learn a Few Local Phrases
Even if it’s just “hi,” “please,” and “thank you,” locals appreciate the effort. Plus, it’s a flex when you order your morning coffee without overcomplicating it!
10. Leave Room for the Unexpected
Planning is great, but don’t overdo it. Some of the best travel memories come from a change of plans or a random discovery down a side street.
