Every journey starts with it planning. Be flexible with schedules and destinations and this will give you a lot more opportunities to bargain: air tickets at a ridiculous price, 5-star accommodation at ‘reviews’ and an unexpected spare room, tickets to see that museum you’ve always wanted to visit. Also, don’t neglect word of mouth. Check reviews and ratings of the services you will be hiring, search for various options and compare prices and benefits. Also, make sure your documents (and your vehicle’s documentation if you drive yourself) are organized and up-to-date. If you have any doubts about the documents that may be requested, find out before you travel.
spend some time on search destination chosen. You can explore a little-known tourist attraction, find out that the place you want to see is closed for construction, or find out that it will likely rain heavily during the entire May Public Holiday. It may also turn out that it is necessary to wear certain clothes in order to visit a certain point (for example, in religious places), they have a gastronomic culture that does not suit your taste, or they have a way of leaving a tip. different from ours.. A little research can save you a lot of surprises, some of them very unpleasant.
eye to eye with him money.

There are several apps and digital tools that can help you with this step. Also, calculate how much you want to spend as accurately as possible. This will save you from scaring you when you see the account after returning.
on time to packThere are a few things to keep in mind. The first, of course, is to choose well what we will take with us. There’s no point in stuffing the suitcase ‘just in case’. There are plenty of tutorials you can follow to optimize the way things are stored, including the arrangement, the way the clothes are folded, and how to place everything so that closing it isn’t an adventure. Oh, and if you need to check in, be sure to carefully check the dimensions and, above all, the weight of the suitcase.
if you go travel with more peopleHave a rough plan of the things you want to see and the places you want to visit. There’s no point in offering to go to Jerez because you’re dying to see the Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix live and when you get there you discover that your friends on the road didn’t even think about going to the track to see the bikes. spend the afternoon watching the Alcazar.
It may seem obvious, but especially watch out for theft and robberies. Do not overlook your suitcases and bags in crowded environments, do not unnecessarily show your valuables and large piles of money, use the safe in your room if you have it, and always pay attention to where you leave your mobile phone.
If you are traveling abroad, make sure you have a basic understanding of the most common expressions in English. English. There are several places on the Internet that offer lists of the most useful words for travelers, and it is worth writing down and memorizing the words we consider necessary.

According to accomodationBe sure to book through trust-building platforms, as fraud and scams are relatively common on the Internet. If you’re using sites like Airbnb or Booking, check if the host’s traveler ratings are good, and if you see anything that makes you suspicious (the homes they offer have been on the platform for a very short time, accommodation is extremely cheap…), don’t deposit until you clear any doubts.
Once there, even if it’s something obvious, To behave. Paying for your hotel room, country house, or any other accommodation does not give you full authority to destroy it at any time. Try not to disturb the people living around you (such as making loud noises at night or late at night, leaving garbage in inappropriate places, or using services such as swimming pools outside of working hours), and take care of the things and belongings in the place. , in general, leave everything at least as good as you find it.
And if you want to immortalize your trip, Photos. If you want to get a perfect image, remember that you can’t do it fast and running. Document yourself in advance about the sites you’ll be visiting, take photos at the beginning or end of the day to get the best light, and look for an interesting perspective. It may be tradition, but… Don’t you think that photo of you holding the Leaning Tower of Pisa is already very popular? Oh, and when you find the photon you came looking for, don’t forget to share it. Surely more than one person would be happy to see you travel!
