So if you are planning to visit some foreign land in the near future, we are here to share 5 of the best street-smart tips that will make your holiday smooth and pleasurable.
1. Download offline maps
One thing that you must do even before planning to leave your place is to download offline maps. To download offline maps on your Smartphone, search for a region that you will be exploring, and then there will be a download button on the screen if you are using Google Maps, click on that.
Zoom out so you can get a maximum of the region covered. Click download and now you have maps that will help you without any internet.
2. Don’t use third-party travel apps
If you do not like changing your travel plans then third-party travel booking applications like Expedia, and Hopper are great for you but if you ever have to make some last-minute amends to your travel plans, third-party travel agencies will become a nightmare.
The 10% that you might be saving by using that third-party app is not going to be worth it if you are going to make changes. It will just become a headache for you.
3. Train yourself to sleep
If you want to bear one less tension, train yourself to sleep on the floor. If you can sleep on the floor, you can probably sleep anywhere.
Also, it would result in one less thing to spend your energy thinking about while staying at other people’s houses and it also makes your travel a lot more budget-friendly. This will also help you in getting proper sleep when you are having a long layover at airports.
4. Don’t Use Debit Cards
If you are going on international travel especially, try to avoid the use of your debit as much as possible. Use your credit cards to buy stuff whenever possible because this is a lot safer.
Your debit cards hold money that you have already earned, if somebody gets it, they will be spending cash that you have earned through hard work. Whereas if they get your credit card, they will spend the money lent to you by your company which will put a lot less pressure on you.
5. Upgraded seating
The most important tip to get free upgraded seating is to wait till the airlines announce the last call for boarding. It is recommended that you don’t wait far away when the last boarding call is made and then board the plane.
Everybody must have gotten their seat by the time the last call is made so your ticket will be pretty much useless. Now as long as you sit down comfortably and confidently, you can have any seat of your choice.
