Here are the Top 10 Travel Tips:
1. Pack light = Packing light means more freedom and you can move easily and quickly when you travel.
2. Do not CHECK-IN any luggage if possible = After the transition from covid, everybody wants to
travel. If you are lucky, you can stand by at the baggage claim crossing your fingers hoping
that it did not travel to the wrong direction. If you are not, you will end up writing your ghost
story when to meet your luggage again.
3. Carry a small backpack or suitcase = Check the airline handcary size requirements and
reconfirm the carry on weight. Be sure to get the name of the person that reconfirms for your
hand carry so you will have the name to spell out when somebody at the check-in counter will
insist to check-in your luggage. Trust me, with my experience after covid, some groups went
back home without meeting their checked-in luggage.
4. Take only what you need = This says it all 🙂
5. Copies of your passport and important documents = Always email them to yourself for back
up purposes, you never know when you need it. You can always go to your email to get it.
6. Electronics, Medications and other super important stuff = Always have them in Your Carry-
On suitcase/backpack. Like I said, you do not want to end up writing your ghost story when to
meet your checked-in luggage.
7. Notify your bank/credit card company about your travel plans = Banks usually will put a hold
on your card while you are overseas.
8. Book your flights early = The earlier you book, the cheaper deal you get.
9. Never forget to list down the important numbers in case of emergency.
10. Travel Aid Kit = It would be wise to bring first aid kit, it maybe not for you at least you can
save a soul instantly 🙂
