Tips That Make Savvy Travelers

Traveling can be exciting, but if you’re not prepared, it can also lead to unnecessary headaches. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or just planning your next getaway, these expert tips will help you navigate your journey with ease and avoid common mistakes that even the most experienced wanderers make.

 

1. Sometimes, it’s the smallest fees that hurt, so make sure to use no-fee banking cards that won’t charge any foreign fees.

2. It’s always best to be prepared for anything, so make extra copies of your passport or any other important documents. You can also upload a copy of your passport to our secure online MyTrips vault, accessible to you in the event of theft or loss during your travels.

3. Read up on your history ahead of time! The places that you’ll see will be far more fascinating if you take the time to get to the know the stories of your destination.

4. Looking to avoid crowds at attractions? A general rule of thumb is go either really early, really late, or when everyone else is eating lunch.

5. Pack an empty water bottle and fill up where you can. You’ll enjoy the extra convenience as well as the money you’ll save.

6. If cruising, always check the daily cruise newsletter in your stateroom for each port’s ship agent and snap a photo of the agent’s contact info before you leave the ship for an excursion. It’s useful if you need assistance while in port or have an emergency and need to contact the ship.

7. Pack a foldable travel bag in your backpack for wet clothes or purchases on the fly!

 

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first adventure, these simple tips will help you stay organized, save money, and enjoy your travels to the fullest. Be prepared, stay smart, and make every journey a memorable one! Happy travels!
