Suggestions and Tips

 Whether you have chosen our recommendations on places to visit or not, there are some aspects that every traveler should take into consideration to have the most awesome moment while on vacation.

Here are some suggestions and tips:

1- Prepare your suitcase:

One of the most common errors while traveling is not having everything we need or taking absolutely unnecessary things "just in case". That's why the importance of preparing our suitcase in advance, the first step to accomplish this would be asking yourself some questions "Where am I going to travel?" "How long will I be there?" "What kind of places will I visit?" "What activities am I going to do?". OK, have you already asked yourself those questions? Excellent, let's pack up!

- Maximize space

The truth is that suitcases are not the biggest thing on the earth, and if we don't have a lot of space or don't want to pay for it on a plane, the only solution will be to take advantage of the small space that suitcases can offer us. How to do that? Packing the clothes making rolls with them is the best option (like in the image above). That way you will be able to use as much space as you have, and you will not have to iron your clothes once you get there.

Another option is putting the underwear inside of the shoes and buying individual or travel-size cleaning products. Remember, it’s just a trip, you won’t need the whole bottle of shampoo.

- Airtight bags your best allies

Okay, you’ve already packed everything you need, you’ve taken the flight on time, and you’re already at the hotel. It’s all joy and fun but, suddenly change... you’ve opened your suitcase and found that your dandruff control shampoo is all over your clothes, toothpaste is squeezed to the last drop and the hair wax and deodorant are now the same thing.

Horrible, right? But don't care, I have the perfect solution for you, a brand new invention, the biggest and newest technology, ZIPLOC BAGS! This kind of plastic bag is perfect for packing all those products likely to spill. Ziploc bags will keep your clothes spot-free. 

2- Money does not give happiness but is extremely useful

Yeah, yeah, the place or the money is not important, but rather the company and the attitude. Nevertheless, once you're in a foreign country or city, you must be sure of carrying with you enough money to do whatever you want and extra for emergencies; you never know when an unforeseen event might happen. The "just in case" excuse does apply in this case. 

3-  Investigate before you leave

Emergency exits, alternate routes, second options, backup plans, and extra activities are some examples of things that you might be interested to know before you get into your new adventure. The local police number and the location of the gas stations are excellent options.

And that's it, those are some recommendations that, in my experience, would make the difference between your life trip and a disappointing experience.

Enjoy your trip!
