Hey guys, and welcome to my first post. So my first post is the part 1 for the STARTING phase of travelling. So, in this first post I'm going share on how organize yourself before a big trip.
Zap Pre-travel Stress :
Your trip is approaching fast and if
you’re like the majority of travelers you’re probably stressing about
everything from your travel arrangements to clothes, packing, health bits and
even your body blips. That is completely normal. The good news is even if you only have two weeks left to
go, you still have time to handle all of the above and more.
Organize yourself by
- Making a list and prioritizing what you have to do before you leave. Include work commitments, tickets, documentation, pre-travel arrangements and confirmation of flights.
- Thinking about how you can get your body ready if you’re going for pleasure. Have you sorted out your vaccinations, and beach body-firming details?
- If your mind is racing, finding ways to make space for yourself before you leave so you can go away feeling relaxed.
Don’t Aim for the Perfect Trip :
It sounds odd but striving to make
your trip perfect is the number-one way to stress yourself out both prior to
your departure and during your time away. Be realistic about your expectations.
Trips are stress-relievers but they don’t have the power to mend a broken
relationship, cure a bad work situation or make you happy when you’re not. They
do, however, make life easier by allowing you to step out of your everyday
routine in order to relax.
Help Yourself have a relaxing trip by :
- Streamlining your objectives – what is it you actually want to do on this holiday.
- Choosing whatever works for your current state of mind, i.e. if you want to relax don’t select a whirlwind tour of a region or a trip that means going trekking at 5 a.m.
- Thinking about how stressful the journey is going to be. If you only have two weeks it’s pointless to waste four days travelling there and back.
Cheaper Isn’t Always the Best Option :
As tempting as it is to go for the
cheapest travel option be aware of what this can do to your travel plans.
Choosing cheaper airlines can sometimes mean more delay (as the planes tend to
have bus-like schedules that back up easily) and arrival at airports that are
not the nearest ones to where you are heading (meaning more travelling time
when you get there). Opting for cheap tickets on foreign journeys by train in
different countries can also mean none of the luxuries that you’re used to.
Help Yourself by :
- Researching what a cheaper fare usually means. Are the tickets non-refundable and non-exchangeable? Is your journey time doubled? Will you be exhausted on arrival? What won’t you be getting for your money?
- If you’re going by a charter company, finding out beforehand what happens if the company goes bust while you’re abroad.
- Not getting so mesmerized by a ‘deal’ that you lose out on a bargain elsewhere. Change the day you leave. Some airlines add a weekend tax to flights leaving on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
