Do you love traveling but hate the expense? These cheap travel hacks are perfect for you. Save time, space, money, and sanity with these 12 tips for your next adventure.
1. Language matters
Search for flights in the airline’s original language. You can save hundreds of dollars this way. For example, people book tickets in Peru using Spanish instead of English.
2. Roll everything
Looking for the best way to save space when packing? This is the answer. Roll up your clothes like a bunch of burritos to make room for souvenirs.
3. Always have a host
Organizers help you find what you’re looking for in your luggage. They are lifesavers.
4. Flat packaging saves space
If you’re planning on taking things out of your suitcase on a long trip, this is the way to go.
5. Be careful who asks for your opinion.
If you ask someone for their opinion, make sure it’s unbiased. People will give you answers based on their own interests, not yours. Therefore, do not ask the person who runs the store where is the best place to buy clothes at affordable prices.
6. Bring me an orange
Here’s something that most people don’t know, but that might be very helpful. Oranges are a great way to diffuse bad smells from people nearby. A must if you are sensitive to smells like me.
7. Carry extra socks.
You can never have too many socks. Even if you think you have too much luggage, pack extra.
8. Stupid and cheerful
If you’re stopped by law enforcement, the best way to avoid trouble is to be silly and cheerful. Never be belligerent.
9. Use tape
Traveling almost always involves the risk of your belongings being stolen. But no one steals something that seems broken. Putting duct tape on expensive high-tech items is a great way to deter thieves.
10. If your flight is cancelled, don’t wait in line to speak to an agent
If your flight is cancelled, one of the worst things you can do is wait in line. Instead, call your airline or use their app.
11. Prepare an extension cord
You may not need it at home, but it can be incredibly useful when you’re on the go. Additionally, you can purchase cords that turn one outlet into three.
12. Just Be Chill
What are your most important tips? relax. You are about to go on vacation. Take a deep breath, get ready, and have a great time.
