Tips for safe and happy travels

1. Be prepared!

Being organised can ensure you can truly relax and appreciate your travels. Although finalising plans is never fun, pencil in some ideas and share them with family and friends. Before committing to a destination, do plenty of research, and save any ideas/blogs in folders.

2. Write a journal or blog

Never forget your unbelievable travel experiences and your reasons for wanting to go, you never know who will be reading your words in future.

3. Learn a few phrases

Travel becomes so much easier when you learn a few basic phrases and some vocabulary of your destination. It shows more respect for the country you are visiting, and may result in richer experiences off the beaten path.
