Your First Holiday

By David K Handerson


Travel can be one of the most rewarding experiences that you ever grant yourself. There is so much to see out there and so much to learn. However, it's smart to be prepared before you embark on any kind of travel adventure. Having the correct documents ready is just the first step.

If you enjoy alcohol, there's no better way when traveling, to get to know a new city than with a pub crawl. Visiting multiple establishments in the same night, will give an interesting cross-section of the city that you wouldn't gain any other way. Plus, you'll make some new friends.

Try to find and wear a money necklace when traveling. Similar to a money belt, a money necklace hold money, your passport, credit cards or any other valuable belonging you may have. It can easily be hidden underneath your clothing. This helps to hide your personal belongings from any thieves or pickpockets.

When traveling with a digital camera, always take along an extra memory card. You will most likely be taking more photographs than normal and the card in your camera can fill up quickly. You will also want to put the settings of your camera on the higher resolutions in order to preserve your memories in a print version later, and this will take up more memory space on your card.

Anytime you are flying, you want to make sure that you check into the airport early. Even though you may not enjoy sitting at the airport longer than you need to waiting till the last minute means that you will be standing in much longer lines, and have a higher chance of missing your flight.

In countries that you travel to, be aware of the cultural view of how questions are answered. In some places, especially India and Asia, it can be considered very rude to tell someone that you don't know the answer to their question. Others may simply answer "yes" to any question asked in English. Pay attention to doubtful body language.

For easy cleanup during a road trip, make sure to carry plenty of garbage bags. You will most likely be eating and drinking in the car and will need to dispose of it somewhere. This will make it so you don't have to make any stops along the way, just to throw out your garbage.

If you are traveling with children, purchase disposable cameras for them. They do not cost a lot of money, and they will keep your child busy throughout the trip. Ask your kids to snap pictures of anything they want to remember from the trip, and you may end up with some pretty interesting pictures.

When packing flashlights or torches for your trips, make sure that they cannot be accidentally turned on which can waste your batteries during your travels. To do this, just simply take out the batteries and turn them around incorrectly. The fact that they are placed inside incorrect will avoid to accidentally turn on that could drain them. Just remember to turn them around for when you need them.

This year an option for your travel and stay holiday might be a yurt holiday. Yurt holidays are run by glamping sites where all the luxuries of a hotel are provided but you are in a tent in a field in the middle of nature.
