Do you love to travel but hate the expenses? These inexpensive travel hacks are for you. Save time, space, money, and sanity by following these 12 tips for your next adventure.
1. Language Does Matter
Search for flights in an airline’s original language. You can save hundreds of dollars this way. For example, book tickets in Peru using Spanish rather than English.
2. Roll Everything
Looking for the best way to save room while packing? This is the answer. Roll up your clothes like a bunch of burritos and save room for souvenirs.
3. Always Have Organizers
Organizers can help you find what you’re looking for in your luggage. They’re a lifesaver.
4. Flat Packing Saves Space
If you’re taking an extended trip and plan to take items out of your suitcase, this is the best way.
5. Be Careful Who You Ask for Opinions
Please ensure that if you ask for someone’s opinion, they’re unbiased. People will give you answers in their best interests rather than yours. So, don’t ask someone who owns a shop the best place to get affordable clothes.
6. Bring Oranges
Here’s one the majority of people don’t know but may come in very handy: oranges are a great way to diffuse awful odors of people nearby. This is a must if you’re sensitive to smells like I am.
7. Carry an Extra Pair of Socks
You can never have too many socks. Even if you think you’ve packed too many, pack extra.
8. Stupid and Cheerful
If you’re stopped by law enforcement, the best way to stay out of trouble is to act stupid and cheerful. Never be belligerent.
9. Use Tape
Traveling almost always comes with the risk of having your items stolen. However, nobody is going to steal something they think is broken. Putting duct tape on expensive tech items is a great way to deter thieves.
10. When Flights Get Canceled, Don’t Stand in Line To Talk to Agent
When a flight is canceled, one of the worst things you can do is stand in line. Instead, call the airline or use their app.
11. Grab an Extension Cord
You may not need them at home, but you’ll be surprised how often they come in handy while out of town. Plus, you can buy the cords that turn one outlet into three.
12. Just Be Chill
The most important tip? Relax. You’re about to head on vacation. Take a deep breath, be prepared, and have a great time.
