Tips and tricks learned while traveling

Want to travel smart? Did you know that before playing the role of Miss Curieuse, I was globetrotter? I started traveling at the age of 11 and I never actually stopped… During my travels, I learned from traveltargets.com a few tips and tricks that I share with you this week.



“To stay is to exist: but to travel is to live.  »Gustave Nadaud. This quote sums up so well what I learned while traveling: we live 1001 things that make us vibrate so we must travel as soon as we can! 2 to 3 days are already enough for a great getaway.
You don't have to be rich to discover the world. There are alternatives for all budgets. Ask your travel agent for advice, he will guide you to make your travel plans a reality.
Don't be paranoid.  The locals are welcoming and ready to help if you dare to ask. You would be amazed at the help and good advice they can give you.
The balance sheet: we drool! Expect to tell the same stories about your journey 30 times when you return. We always spontaneously bring out the same stories, those that marked our stay. The good news is that we never tire of it.
Invest in earmuffs. We love babies, but on the plane, cries are difficult to bear, especially when your neighbor starts snoring.
We get together with our compatriots of the same nationality . Inevitable fact, when we travel, we attract each other by I don't know what unexplained force.
Always have chocolate, in case of a hard blow, it consoles!
Never use your cell phone abroad. Choose skype, Viber or WhatApp. If your family or friends are not familiar with these mobile applications, install them yourself before leaving.
Your instinct: your best security. If a person or a tourist operator does not inspire you, do not wait to have an unpleasant surprise ... Better prevention than cure.
You can make Facebook while traveling! You can find the internet almost everywhere thanks to the Wifi Finder app, so don't panic.
Download the digital versions of the travel guides or take photos with your cell phone of the pages that interest you. If you are doing a 2-day stopover in Rome, it is not worth taking the complete 400-page guide to Italy!
Avoid the airport security queue where there are children and the elderly. Sorry but they take longer to pass ...
Check that there is no need for a vaccine for the chosen destination . Some vaccines must be done several weeks before departure. Visit HERE to learn more. 
Do not bring your computer. It is heavy, it takes up space and reminds you of the work. Organize yourself so that your cell phone can take over during your vacation.
Dress chic to fly . If the economy class is full and there are places in business class, they prefer to offer them to people whose dress style harmonizes well with that of other passengers.
Don't talk too much about your work trip. You might well be jealous and see the tongues of vipers unravel…
Always take a product with you to wash your clothes by hand. It's practical, it would be a shame to do without it.
Always have an electronic copy of your passport with you. Send yourself a copy by email or save it on an online storage space (dropbox or google drive for example). This will be useful in the event of loss or theft, as well as for certain reservations to confirm your identity.
Take less stuff! A classic but we always make the same mistake. I traveled for 6 months with 25 pounds and I survived! When packing, make two batteries: one with the "essential" things and another with the "optional", it will already help you see a little more clearly. Do you have any doubts? Ask your spouse, ladies, he will necessarily push you to take less!
Always take at least two credit cards. I lost mine in Asia and I can tell you that it's not funny at all. Minimize risk by not putting your two credit cards in the same place!
Understand that you can be understood. Beware, French is a more understood language than you think…
Take the time to discover a destination. A selfie at the airport by reporting your position on Facebook is not a trip! Choose routes that are less ambitious but allow you to discover correctly rather than fly over furtively. On vacation, now is not the time to put on the pressure to run around and constantly watch your watch.
In Asia, consider the vegetarian option. Even if you are not a vegetarian, sometimes it is better to avoid dishes with meat. We are rarely sick with a rice dish, think about it!
Do not change your money at the hotel or at the airport.
Always take a warm outfit even if you go out in the sun. On the plane and in air-conditioned places, you will need it.
Leave a part of mystery . Too much to plan one's schedule, it is sometimes to close opportunities of discoveries and meetings.
