 I've lived here in India for three years now. Let me give you five quick travel tips I use here daily. The first tip is that whenever you buy a drink I can, you must check that it's clean. They're always so. So did he look at all that, and so what I do is I carry around tissue paper, and I'll clean it myself with like a bottle of water or something. The store has handed me a clean one, but it's still dirty as hell. Secondly, every day when you're walking around here in India, there is so much dust on the ground that you must clean your shoes.  Every night, get a wet cloth and run it over your shoe, or else the muck will build up, and you won't get it out at the end of your trip. Thirdly, get rid of all your 2000 rupee notes. They're useless, yet nearly anyone on the street will take them. You need 500 rupee notes and 100 rupee notes only. People will not accept 2000 rupee notes because they don't have change, or it will wipe out their change.  I...

Do you want to travel more responsibly? Okay, well, here are 10 Sustainable travel tips you need to adopt. Number one, recycle and don't litter. Respect the country you're visiting, and Do not litter ever. Take it a step further and recycle what you can when you can. And be sure to ask your hotel about the recycling program. Number two, pack a reusable bottle. Plastic bottles often pollute the land and sea, so bring and refill your water bottle when traveling. The less both, the better. So consider buying a foldable water bottle that collapses when you're done.  Number three, pack a reusable shopping bag. Plastic bags end up in waterways and landfills, where they break down for a while. So, bring a reusable shopping bag to put all your purchases in while shopping. I bought this one online because it's stylish, compact, and inexpensive. Number four, find alternatives to driving, including public transit like trains, trams, buses, etc. Also, you can walk towards biking to...

Now let me ask you something: does your suitcase look like this? On acceptable on acceptable, I can't breathe, take it away, please, if that's you, you need help. And help is called packing cubes. No matter what, my underwear goes in one of these, and my socks go in one of these. Then, I put on my workout gear and pajamas in a separate medium-sized cube.  The rest is up to you. I don't necessarily put everything in a packing cube, but I have also done so. So let's imagine we're going to take a trip for four days; what I do is I pack by outfits in one cube, one pair of pants and the two shirts that go with those pants, that's day one, and two, the second outfit the same in a separate cube. So, I prefer to avoid drawing these pants. And they will go with this guy and the skirt. Then, I'll complete the outfits with my night gear.  This is a nice shirt that might go with these pants. And then I might do a little dress with his pants during the day or at night. T...

We started our discovery in Ah, the beginning of the road stretching over Dealer 14 islands. The European highway, i.e., 10, connects the large island of Lofoten with bridges and undersea tunnels. Our next stop is Ryanair, located on a little island off the more prominent muskiness Island Patriots spots. The Lofoten islands are characterized by their mounds and peaks, sheltered inlets, and stretches of seashore, which make for an incredible road trip.  If the Lofoten islands have lovely beaches, yes, they indeed have. This is why I'm back, Rhonda. I'm back, and this is the pitch of RAMDAC. Fascinated by these pristine beaches, we were hungry for more and made our way to a place known for its surf. Minutes were at the beach now when onStart was so lovely, like the surfing hotspot. All right, waste is too big for us, so we decided to go with the world's best cinnamon buns.  Once Arctic surf was the hub for cold water surfers, they loved it, for indeed, the founders were the f...

 Here's the deal. Whether traveling for one, two, or three months, what you will take is the same. You plan to carry enough to wear for two weeks, and you do some laundry. That's the key. And it's all going to fit in a 145-pound medium-sized suitcase. Step one is the basics: underwear and socks. Okay, so you can take 14 pairs of underwear, which can take up a lot of space, or enough for one week, and wash them every couple of nights next; sleepwear and lounging three sets is enough.  Just remember you'll need some loungewear on to workout gear wherever you go. I run, so I always bring these two outfits that are easy to wash and running shoes. Step two is the basics. Pick versatile pieces. Let's start with pants, one pair of jeans, one other pair of pants, and one pair of darker pants, and make sure you can watch all of these yourself. Now, shirts go with those pants, from solid T-shirts to patterned dresses, button-downs, and more. I love to wear dresses and skirts....

We talk about all things travel. Today, we have a quick but excellent vlog that one of us suggested: what are the top five mistakes people make when traveling? And let me tell you; it took a lot of work to choose just five because people make many mistakes when we travel; I've made a lot of errors. When I travel hints, I can tell you how to prevent them. Here are my picks. Number one is apparent, but it happens repeatedly: people rent out your ticket, email it to themselves, or download the app and have the ticket on their phone. Why would you stand in line to check in? I don't get it. And if you have luggage, you need to know where you check-in. Then, go straight to the express line where you leave your bags. And that's it. That's number two. And this also has to do with ticketing and stuff, not having a hard copy of your reservations. And by hardcopy, I don't necessarily mean print; I suggest you don't have to use your data to access it. Because what happens i...

 Start your travel experience early by enjoying the planning stage. Talk to other travelers, and choose books and movies with your trip in mind. Nurture your travel dreams. Then, develop a thoughtful itinerary in steps. Brainstorm a wish list of destinations and put them in a logical geographical order, then write in how many days you'd like to stay in each place and then tally it up. This heads up to 32 days. Now, it's got to fit into your vacation time. I've got 21 days off, so I've got some serious cutting. Minimize redundancy; I want to do something other than the Italian Riviera and the French Riviera. I'll cut the French Riviera to keep a balance between big cities and small towns. This itinerary is heavy on big cities. So I'll miss Rome. That'll save a few days.  Greece takes too long to get to it, so we'll have to wait another trip. Rather than spend an entire day on the train. You can save a day of your itinerary by flying or taking the night tr...

 Finally, your vacation is here. But the thought of packing all this into this is freaking you out. Stress-free travel starts with smart packing. And while you already know that rolling your clothes saves space, take this trip to a new level with this folding roll technique. The key is to create even layers and maximize every inch. Start with the bulkiest items—stuffed shoes with small items like resealable bags filled with socks and underwear. Then, place individual shoes along the edges of the case. Belts can also be laid along the edge. Fill in gaps with miniature clothing rolls, like T-shirts and camisoles. More oversized items like jeans, jackets, and dresses should be laid in flat layers and packed in an overlapping layer formation. If there are gaps around the edges, tuck these flatline clothes into the sides. A bonus tip for blazers and other lined clothing is to pack them inside out to help avoid wrinkles. You're doing great with light space-saving packing, so don't ge...

Twenty-five million people will be flying for Thanksgiving, and Christmas travel is seen as chaotic, and it has been for many months. Travel expert Pauline Frommer has some essential tips to make holiday travel hassle-free. Top tips fly as early in the day as possible. That means your plane was at the airport overnight. It didn't have to fly in from anywhere else.  Another tip, if you have to do a non-direct flight, don't go into the cities that get sucked in by storms like Chicago and Denver and book early folks are saying that people who wait until after Halloween will see the prices grow go up like 30% Experts predict the number of people flying over the holidays will be double what it was last year. That's close to pre-pandemic levels; travel bloggers Carmen and Serge's son Yogi will fly from New York to Montana with their daughters.  The number one thing is having a lot of pat...
