Choosing your next travel destination is not always easy. There are many things to consider the main one being, where do you want to go? Yet, no matter where you decide to go, there is a universal truth you need to address: traveling is stressful. This article will give you some tips on minimizing the stress and avoiding pitfalls.
If you will be driving to your destination, fill a family member or friend in on your destination and planned a route to get there. If something were to happen to you while driving, this person would be able to alert officials of your intended destination and the roads you would have been traveling on.
Always bring a personal set of earplugs. Whether it is a child crying two rows ahead of you or an annoying person sitting next to you who wants to discuss his dream from last night of the plane crash, it always helps to have a way to drown out that extraneous noise.
When traveling to less-developed areas of the world, remember to bring spare batteries for all of your electronics. Not all areas will have accessible electric outlets to charge your items, nor will every country sell even common AA or AAA batteries. It is better to come prepared than to not be able to use your camera.
Ditch the fanny pack. Not only do you look the part of a tourist, a fanny pack is often easy pickings for a thief. If you crave the convenience of the fanny pack, consider getting a multi-pocket travel vest instead. These carry just as much but keep the items close to your body where they are safer.
