I am just a part-time traveler and have covered the
maximum. Place in India. During traveling time I had made many mistakes and
subsequently, I corrected those mistakes. One should know what might be and how
to face those problems. Indians are very adjustable and they can search for
alternative ways to solve the problem. Till date, I have been doing this type
of procedure during travel to a new place. the people aren’t born savvy
travelers. It’s something that only comes with travel experience.
How I make a plan from the date when I decide to
travel to a particular place to the end that I am sharing here which must help
others too know. In this blog, I am slowly writing about all the events I have
attended and the place where I have traveled. The travelers either beginner or
experienced make some time mistakes during their journey. The importance of the
culture of travel is to make a pre-plan of traveling.
I am here to help people to avoid the mistakes which I
have faced during traveling time for which I put together. These tips for
traveling will have you saving money, sleeping better, getting off the beaten
path more, meeting locals, and just being a better traveler.
Without further ado, here are the best 20 tips and you
can use in any place of the world to get the benefit of my tips:
1.
PRE-PLAN BEFORE 2 MONTHS MINIMUM.
planning minimum before two months is good because you have sufficient time and the cost of the air fare also cheaper. You can complete the work before your trip and no pending work. Time is the essence of your travel so without any delay, you can complete the entire work such as pack of suitcase, and other things which you have to purchased (slow and steady wins the race). It is very important to make a plan for the entire travelling period how to go, where to stay, how to cover up the best locations, how to manage yourself at unknown place etc.
2.
PRE-BOOK YOUR TICKETS
Transportation such as flight (s) which are the
biggest expense and you have to save money by way of purchasing different
online applications. You can check which application or website provides the
cheap rates. Sometimes the airlines announce sales, you have to verify that
also. If you book your ticket before 2 months, the cost of the flight is very
less. The price of flight increases during the short period.
Online booking
saves your time and money simultaneously. You can also book hotels whose price
is very less and try to use coupons where you can get additional
discounts.
3.
FLYING DETAILS
During booking of flights, you should verify the
nearby airport of your destination and I have seen many times that it is
cheaper to fly into airports close to your final destination, and then take a
train or bus to where you need to go. And one important point is don’t think to
purchase any things in plain because the cost of the product is very high so
avoid that. In plain, there is the facility of urinary so one can use that
during the travel.
4.
TAKE A SMALL BACKPACK OR SUITCASE
You cannot take all things during travel so you can
pack only necessary articles which will be light. you are going on travel, not
for any other purpose so small and light luggage is best for travel which gives
comfort. what is your necessary only you can calculate don’t follow other
5.
CHECK DETAILS BEFORE GOING
At present, the internet gives a lot of facilities and
one can take advantage of that. Before going to a place which is unknown to
you, you can track the details on the internet. It is not a tedious job to get
the details including transportation, road, cost etc. and youtube also helps
you like google, youtube can show you the details with videos. Therefore you
can plan your road map for your trip.
6.
MONEY OR DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD
It is safe that you carry all transitions through only
such as paytm, google pay or net banking. If you have no such facilities then
it's better to use a debit or credit card. Use of cash is not safe for all
time. It is advised you to carry less cash and use cash where necessary. If you
have no cash transition there is no chance of theft and always try to expenses
as little as possible. one should know the benefits of using Debit or Credit card.
7.
GOOGLE MAP
If you are unaware and you are traveling to an unknown
place and you are searching some hotel, shop etc, it is advised to use Google
Maps. During my travels, the maximum problem was solved by Google Maps. You can
get the direction, address, distance, and location from Google Maps.
8.
USE HOME WEBSITE
If you want to know something, you have to go to their
homepage where you can get the correctness, time, price etc. during my Mysore
trip. I used the home page of Mysore zoo and got all the details. Only the home
website provides you actual news or tips or details.
9.
WEATHER FORECAST
One of the important things is that to be well aware
about the weather forecast. In unknown place, no one knows about weather.
Before starting your journey, check the weather forecast and there local
situation. And after reach your destination, again check all these. The best
way to know the weather forecast is on mobile and you can save your time, life
from many problem such as rain, cyclone, sunny and many more.
10.
FREE INTERNET
During your trip, you need a hotel. Before booking the
hotel first, you have to check whether there are any facilities for free
internet or not. If there is free internet then ask the staff password.
11.
TRAVELLING PACKAGE PROVIDES BY MANY COMPANY
The traveling package is provided by many travel
companies and local agents. If you don’t like to travel like free birds and
complete within the time limit or have a particular place then a traveling
package is best. Sometimes a traveling package takes more money and it is the
time-bound process. My advice is not to avail traveling packages.
You can ask
the hotel for transportation and availing such you verify whether its price is
ok with their locality or not. in Maximum place, the hotel provides good
transportation facilities for their customers.
12. ALWAYS CARRY A LOCK.
During travel time one should carry an extra lock with
double keys. You do not know when and where you may stay either it may be a
hotel or it may be dorms but need an extra lock. Don’t use one with keys
because, if you lose the keys for which need two extra keys and put those keys
in different places.
13. BUT DON’T BE AFRAID TO GET LOST
Wandering through a new city is a good way to get to
know about the city closely and it is easy to get the path of your aim. The
search for the path in an unknown city is one type of adventure of the trip.
You can use Google Maps or ask someone nearby. Sometimes self-search gives a
lot of knowledge and you may get many new beautiful things. Normally I like to
wander all the places of the city till self-satisfied.
14. ALWAYS VISIT THE LOCAL TOURISM OFFICE
During the trip, the best way to get knowledge about
that locality is to visit the local tourism office. Only they can provide you
with the knowledge of travel spots or locations which you may not know and
details of the city. They can point you to free activities, special events
happening during your trip. They even offer discounts on events and
transportation. When you reach the time of special events or activities such as
festival sessions, the travel becomes more entertainable and fruitful. They can
guide you to nearby travel spots which are suitable for you.
15. PROTECTION OF YOUR PASSPORT OR ID PROOF ORANY IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.
During travel, the ID proof is one of the important
documents for which one should go with ID proof and passport (in case of
foreign trips). Here the important point is how to protect your necessary
documents from theft or missing. There are two types of processes: one is extra
hard copies and another is soft copies. At present, the internet provides many
facilities and an easy way to store soft documents. Don’t forget to email a
copy to yourself too. You never know when you might need to have some sort of
documentation with you and might not want to carry your original. One can
convert the hard copies to soft copies by using various apps and stores in
mobile also.
16. ASK HOSTEL STAFF FOR INFORMATION
The best person who can guide you on your trip is the
Hostel staff who deal with budget travelers all day. They know exactly where to
go for cheap meals and attractions. They also tend to be locals so they know
the city very well. Ask them for all sorts of information. Even if you aren’t
staying in one, just pop in and ask for help. It is not a difficult job to
collate the mobile number where you stay in the hotel, guest house, boarding,
etc and at the time of any urgency, you can call him/her.
17. ASK DETAILS TO THE HOTEL STAFF WHEN YOU
CHECK-IN
Sometimes the hotel facilities need to know and you
can use it during the emergency such as internet connection, time table of
hotel, vehicles, hotel receptionist detail, and many more as you want to know.
A lot of flexibility when it comes to assigning upgrades at check-in. They have
something special for the customer who has booked through the app or online,
even if they have provided some sort of complementary services such as
breakfast / dinner / something else.
During the
booking of the hotel, you should see the facility on the internet. At present
the internet facility helps you very much during the traveling periods such as
Google map and many more.
18. NEVER EAT IN A TOURISTY AREA OR NEAR A
TOURIST ATTRACTION
A general principle is that if you are closer to
tourist attractions, the more you are going to pay and get the worse the food
and services. Therefore avoid purchasing any things for the tourist place. You
can find any service nearby the location of the tourist place by using an app
such as Google Maps, just dial and many more.
19. DO NOT BE OPEN DURING TRAVEL
During traveling, you can behave smart with others and
say hi to people on the road but don’t be open with them, don't try to take any
sort of advantage because you are just a traveler. Turn strangers into friends
but always remember they are just like you. you can travel with them together
but don’t share your personal issues with them. You are there for the purpose
of a happy life, dreams, and out of any other tension or work or home. All
travel spots are not bad and all travel spots are not good.
20. GET A TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel insurance is one of your most important things
and protection of yours during travel periods. If something goes wrong with you
during the travel period, the insurance company may protect you from such types
of loss such as getting robbed, flights get canceled, you get sick or injured
etc. It is a comprehensive budget and the best investment you can get for a
trip.
21. WEAR SUNSCREEN.
You are a traveler and you are not familiar with the
atmosphere or weather. You may travel well to the worst situation for which
sunscreen is required to use. It protects you from various situations and makes
you comfortable. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists.
CONCLUSION
During the travel period if you follow the aforesaid 21
points you may avoid any losses, difficulties and get such things as
cost-effectiveness, protect your luggage, and be comfortable. This is the only
way one can travel the whole world without any hesitation.
