10 Travel Tips That Would Help You to Have an Epic Travel Journey

Planning your first travel trip? Getting high on the wanderlust spree? And, all set to flood your Instagram stories with pictures of your tickets, your luggage and all the food you eat? Well, you might have over-rated travelling a bit!

Wanderlust may be the new trend but it is not just about the Instagram stories or Facebook live sessions. If you happen to be a true traveller, you might know what I mean.

Undeniably, travelling extends an emotion of happiness and sends us on a journey to self-discovery. As cakewalk, as it might seem or keeping aside the fun part of it, travelling to unknown destinations or the road less travelled, requires far more daring and the will to face the tide.

While you might dwell in the illusion of travelling being just about new destinations, happening places to stay and some aesthetically perfect Instagram stories. Sorry to pop your bubble mate! Travelling is about setting on a journey unknown, travelling to a new place without much knowledge of language and their culture, and being lost. And, if that’s your idea of travel, you are good to go!

To give you a head start before you set on your first travel, here are 10 travel tips to help you sail smoothly

1. Prepare for Worst and Hope for the Best

Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for absolutely unhelpful environment or worst food you have ever tasted. That is just the basic of what we call worst on a travel trip! Yet, hope for the best as you might find some extremely loving local people and you will be able to get through!

2. Learn their Basic Language

If you happen to travel out of your home country or home state, LEARN some of their basic language. “Hello”, “Thank You”, “Sorry” or “I don’t know your Language” might just help you communicate with people easily.

3. Stash Some Cash

It might be the era of modernization but local shops still don’t get along with that idea. Hence, to save yourself the trouble of finding an ATM, stash some extra cash for emergency.

4. Interact with Local People

More often that not, you will find the locals to be very understanding and helpful. Interact with them to get some wonderful insights of their culture and places to visit. Also, what’s better than making some new friends.

5. Click! Click! Click!

Never forget to click good pictures. What else will your Insta Fam see then? Jokes apart, pictures help you collect the most beautiful moments of your journey and help you save them for future nostalgia. 

6. Widen your Scope of Understanding

Never let your mind get narrow or judgmental about things. Having an open mind towards new things lets you explore more vividly.

7. Step Out of your Comfort Zone

Don’t confine yourself to the comfort life. Travel, explore and try new things to get some legendary experiences about life and the journey.

8. Keep Your Luggage Light

Avoid stuffing your luggage with unnecessary stuff. Keep only the essentials, it will help you carry it easily and you’ll be free to travel as many places as you feel like.

9. Maintain Travel Journal

What else you will click pictures for? Of course, apart from your Social Media feed. Travel journals help you keep the record of all your trips and the intricate details you gathered from that place or the people there.

10. Get Lost!

Not offensively, duh! Get lost purposefully. Don’t let the fear of unknown place and uncertainty stop you from exploring every corner of the place. Let yourself free to venture into thin lanes or insanely huge mansions.

With this, you might just be prepared to set your foot on being a traveler. So why wait? Pack your bags, mark your destination on a map and set for your journey. Thank us later!
