Traveling is the main part of our life. But it seems that we have forgotten how to travel properly. So in this article, I will list some things to consider which can be applied to both your actions and your belongings.
After all, what we do on such trips is defining who we are, and what other people are thinking about us, and it’s a part of our style just as much as our clothes. Besides our behavior it’s important to be prepared for everything, that’s why in this article you will have the chance to read about some essential things during a trip which is absolutely essential and can make your trip so much better. Let’s begin, shall we?
Package
It’s one of the most crucial parts of your trip. You should be aware of the answers to some questions like “where are you going?”, “for how much time?”, and “what’s the purpose of the trip?”. After you have all this information, start thinking about your clothes and outfits, if you’re going on a shorter vacation make sure to bring a clean tee for every day. But if you don’t have that much space in your luggage, or just don’t have that many clothes for a longer trip there is no need to worry. Nowadays, most of the hotels and hostels offer washing services. So if you plan to stay there for a longer time, ask the reception whether or not they can offer washing services for you.
If you’re still unsure about the things you should bring, ask your friends what they are bringing and make a list a few weeks before to be sure not to forget anything home. If you have the list write down with bold letters the passport, value, and tickets, and make sure you have it both printed out and on your phone. Traveling with airplanes can be tricky and the traffic can be very crowded, so if you have to go home for an essential thing, there is a big chance that you will miss your flight.
And some words about the quality of your suitcase or luggage. Make sure that they are not damaged, and the zipper works fine. And do your research, find out in time how big can your package be, and it’s the maximum weight. Measure your baggage size and weight at home! It can be very awkward when you have to have to repack all your stuff from one place to another, and everyone sees all your stuff inside. So be prepared!
Must have things
These trips can be very very long, so you should think about some ways to “entertain” yourself during the trip. Here are some of the things that if you own you should definitely bring with yourself. First of all the headphones. This isn’t a must just to listen to music and to make time pass faster, but it’s also important to avoid unpleasant sounds like snoring, crying, etc. this way you can keep yourself in a relaxed state for the whole time of your travel.
The second most important thing should be related to your comfort. So you should bring your travel neck pillow, a comfy and proper sock, and some cozy clothes. And last but not least don’t forget your power bank. It should be a ‘must’ gadget for everyone that is traveling at least once a month. They can give you a dose of safety, especially if all your documents are on your phone. Not to talk about the case when you need your phone for it’s GPS, in a foreign country. So think ahead and gift yourself with a power bank.
If you still need a more active activity for your flight you can always grab your phone to play some games. Especially if you have a power bank and there is wireless internet on the plane. I wouldn’t recommend playing something too active like an FPS game, those games can be too exciting and nobody wants to stay next to a person who makes loud noises when the game is over or when he becomes the last one in a battle royale.
I would recommend something more “static” game, like an arcade game, or a casino game. Those can be just as exciting, not to talk about that they are consuming fewer data and they can keep you entertained until your airplane lands. So just if you’re bored just plug in your headphones, and connect to a nice casino game and play some slots, or perhaps blackjack.
Behavior
As I told in the introduction, your behavior is just as important as your physical appearance. From the moment you stepped into the airport. Be polite to every single soul, from the other tourist to the ticket checker all the way to the stewardesses, to everyone! Always have in your mind the golden rule “do to others what you want them to do to you”.
This is especially important at the moment you’ve arrived. Don’t rush anywhere, don’t crush everyone till you get your baggage outside. Sit on your chair politely, until you have enough space to get to your baggage outside. If you see an elder person, always offer your help, and make sure that he or she can get out of the plane safely. In the case where you have to arrive fast to another flight, kindly ask the stewardess for their help, and they will escort you politely to outside the airplane and you can catch your flight.
Wrap up
If you respect all these things, I can guarantee you, that you won’t worry about a thing and you can be assured that everything is fine. And no matter if it’s your first flight or the 100th, these guidelines can be and have to be adopted just as well.
Have a nice trip!
