118 Travel Tips Packed To Enhance Your Traveling Experience

ADVERTISEMENT

After a couple of years of a universal pause on travel, it sure is good to be back on the road. Traveling is one of the best presents you can give yourself, so anytime you can afford to go on a trip, do it. One thing I have never heard anyone say is “I wish I traveled less in my lifetime.”

But whether you are a seasoned traveler or just planning your first journey, before we go roaming the planet again, visiting old favorite places and discovering new ones, there are a couple of things we should never forget. Traveling in general, but especially traveling abroad, is a pleasure, and like any other pleasure, it should be taken seriously and with a certain share of responsibility to make sure you get the most out of it.

First and foremost, take care of your safety, especially if you are traveling alone. Don’t be afraid to go on adventures, but assess them critically. Safe travel is a guarantee that you will want to do it again next time, so don’t neglect basic common sense.

Another very important thing is comfort. It consists of a lot of aspects, but one of them that people often fail to realize is learning how to travel light. You will always – always! – end up using fewer things than you thought you would when you were packing. Remember this and don’t make your life harder by having to drag a heavy suitcase around.

Below we have collected some travel tips from experienced travelers that you should know before getting ready to check a new destination off your travel checklist. If you have any other useful recommendations, share them with fellow travelers in the comments below. Wishing you safe travels and a lot of fun on the road!

Hell no. I'm a woman and I've traveled more than enough to know that traveling alone is a terrible idea. (Of course I'm not saying to not take a flight alone - I mean going somewhere that you don't know the area and/or don't know anyone there) It sucks but that's the reality of the world we live in.

Let your credit card company know you're traveling so they don't block out of country purchases. Know the exchange rates before you leave so you can calculate what will be charged to your card. Keep a SMALL amount of cash (in the correct currency)on hand for emergencies. You can always cancel your credit card but you'll never get your cash back if something goes wrong.

Aisling Raye 2 years ago

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

Or, ya know, keep a journal for yourself and not barf it all over the internet. Realistically, you're never going to monetize your trip. Travel bloggers already post the same things over and over and over again. Can you imagine if every person who took that same picture at the Tower of Pisa (you know the picture..we all know *that picture*) started a travel blog? LOL. Also, I realized while I was proof reading this that I just described instagram. So yeah, journal for yourself and to share with your friends and family if you feel inclined. Travel loses so much of its meaning when you're focused on creating content and not on creating experiences for yourself. Ugh, that got super preachy when all I am trying to say is that you should do what you'd like, however you'd like. Just don't do it with main the focus on getting paid.

I’m a visual editor at Bored Panda. My work is to find or create visuals for articles about home and design. I enjoy making small illustrations and improving my skills in Adobe Illustrator. After work, I try to do something active like running, yoga, cycling, or skateboarding, mostly because it allows me to spend more time outdoors and not sitting behind my desk.

I knew I wanted to be a storyteller ever since I learned to read and write. Fulfilled this dream when I became a content creator and a filmmaker. Also got a degree in English language and literature because grammar is important! Good coffee and good music make everything better. When I’m not telling stories, you’ll find me studying foreign languages (currently, Korean), fangirling over my guinea pig Pepperboy, watching TV shows, and learning to play the drums.
