Xplore! Travel tips
As much as we love the excitement of sightseeing the entire day, roaming in an unfamiliar and often large city can be quite exhausting. In this article we provide you with some useful travel tips to make your journey even more enjoyable.
Water:
Always carry a bottle of water with you, since it’s essential to keep hydrated while you travel. Especially in warm weather. Some cities also have clean water fountains where you can refill your bottle. Make sure you ask if it’s drinkable first though!
Pack your own lunch:
While you should of course taste the local cuisine, it can be better to pack your own lunch and save those pennies for a wonderful dinner. By bringing your own lunch you also save time, as you can continue sightseeing while eating. Additionally, packing your own food is a wise decision in countries where it is not always safe to eat everything displayed on local markets.
Hearty breakfast:
Have a good and hearty breakfast before starting out the day. It will keep you energized for quite a while and prevents unnecessary unhealthy snacking!
Hand sanitizer:
Washing your hands while travelling can be quite difficult, but is actually really important. Luckily we have perfect small-sized hand sanitizers that kill those germs without any water or soap. Just pop them in your bag and enjoy clean, germ-free hands.
Tissues:
Tissues are indispensable when on the go and can be used in all sorts of situations. We all know the uncomfortable feeling of having to go to the bathroom but not having any tissues available. That’s why some packs of tissues are a must!
Plasters:
We are all familiar with those awful and painful blisters from walking too much. They can even appear while wearing the most comfortable shoes. Plasters help alleviate the pain and, thus, contribute to a more pleasant travel experience.
