Experience Travel
"Experience Travel"
Experience Travel through doing activities unique to your location and build lasting memories by engaging your senses as much as possible.
Watch… the sunrise
Hear… the sounds of the jungle
Smell… the local coffee brewing
Taste… the freshness of the fruit that you picked up at the local farmers market
Feel… the soft sand on your feet as you walk on the beach
Grilling the fish you caught while out on a boat tour around the local islands to do some snorkeling is an excellent example of combining local activities while engaging so many of your senses. This will build unforgettable memories.
Travel is a highly personal and expensive luxury, so it is very important that you know what you wish to achieve on vacation. Don’t overdo the activities and/or stress yourself out in an attempt to maximize your “Travel Experience”.
Packing for Your Trip
- Make a list and check it twice.
- Check the 10 day forecast prior to departing.
- Pack clothes that easily mix and match to make multiple outfits.
- Check to see if doing laundry is an option.
- Bring an electric adaptor for plugging in your equipment.
- Think about a reusable water bottle – they are great for airports, transit, and on location.
- Wear your bulkiest clothing items and footwear on the plane vs. packing them.
- Know your regulations for bags – weight, size and numbers allowed for your ticket.
Security and Safety
- Look into safety tips for the area.
- Be mindful of your surroundings and keep your eyes out for dangerous situations.
- Add a first aid kit to your packing list.
- Don’t tell strangers too much information – chances are they are just being friendly but they don’t need to know exactly where you are staying and what you are doing.
- Safety and security are very important, but don’t let being oversafe ruin your ability to have a good trip.
Travel Insurance
- Travel is expensive and insurance is an added expense, but it’s nice to have it if something goes wrong.
- This is something we can chat about.
