Travelling tips yes we have a lot more,10, lose it, seat, towel and roads.

Can you afford to lose It.

A good rule that I always use is never pack anything expensive, the golden rule is if you can't afford to lose it either financially or emotionally don't pack it, don't put it in your bag the last thing you want to worry about is the cost of an item when you lose it. Your item goes out of your site for quite a long time so it's always handy to know that there is not very much in there that you can lose.

Another handy items to pack in your hand luggage is a towel as you can use that as a pillow and if you booked a window seat you can rest it against the window to give yourself a bit more of a comfy sleep.

If you're on international long haul flights it's always good to book a window seat but bear in mind you have a strong bladder because you don't want to be getting up and down up and down up and down to go to the loo but if you can hold on to it for quite a while get a  Window seat and give yourself a nice comfy sleep.

Find out how many are flying.

Is always good to find out if the flight is fully booked because if there are example 20 people less on a flight you can have them block you 4 seats in a row so then you can lay out of four seats and have a sleep, so always ask when you check in is the flight fully booked yes or no And how many less people are flying.

On the road.

When overseas always always always look both ways on the road look left right left right left because There are loads of my drivers over there and they drive on the opposite side of the road to what he used to, you'll always find that people overseas never seem to follow the Highway Code so don't take it for granted that they going to stop or slow down for you because they will not.

If you're driving overseas there's always seems to be new rules or regulations coming out and they can be some costly fines if you do not follow them, so I always find out the local laws for road use and what you need to carry with you and what stickers do you need to stick on your car, you will be pulled over by the police and they can charge you hundreds and hundreds of dollars in Fines

There are things like warning triangles, first aid kits, breathalysers all need to be carried when you go to France for example, Many people fall foul to these laws and the local police know that foreigners will probably not have what is required and so they are easy targets, so don't be one of them be one step ahead of them. Find out what you need to buy in your home country and then you've got everything. You will be very surprised what is required to carry with you in the car in various countries around the world, if you hire a car then make sure that the hired car has everything that is required to comply with the local laws.

Shoes and socks

When you go travelling make sure you are using shoes and trainers that you've used to and they're not new ones the last thing you want to do is break in a new pair of shoes and get blisters on your feet, it's a good idea to put all your socks inside your shoes and trainers and that will use up less space and stop the shoes and trainers from collapsing Inn, always where something that is comfy and not just stylish if you go for style and not comfy and you end up walking miles or standing in queues for hours then you're going to regret it.

Toilet Paper.

Many parts of the world do not use toilet paper, And for that reason is best to carry Your own and also if they do supply toilet paper and it's gone missing or has run out then at least you got your own it's only a small thing but it does play a big part, the good old bog roll. It's also good to carry hand wipes because they can come in useful for many reasons, I also carry gel because when people travel and they've got colds and flues you want to have a barrier because you're touching everything that they touch at the airport with the hand gel you protect yourself a bit.

Alcohol at 35000 feet.

We all know drinking alcohol is bad for you but when you're drinking at 35000 feet in a plane it affects you a lot more than being on the ground, try to keep off the alcohol and just drink plenty of water for the duration of the flight, always carry a two litre bottle full of water on the plane with you so that you've got plenty without having to keep asking for it, and always trying to drink water when he don't need it because when you're thirsty that means you've gone past the point of dehydration so always try to top yourself up every so often and keep off the alcohol, alcohol at 35000 feet is bad for you. You will find it a lot easier to buy your water in the departure lounge rather than in a shop before security as security might take it off you so bear that in mind. Buy the water in the departure lounge before boarding.

More about your clothing.

I have found all the years that never take any clothes with you that one or expensive and to be don't need ironing it's a lot easier to wash clothes and hanging out and it don't need to be ironed which means you don't have to rely on any services like electric or cleaners to do your clothes for you, as I said in my earlier posts it's a good idea to take some old clothes I'm not your expensive Ones another idea that I've worked out is never to wear clothes that you've never worn before make sure you use those clothes before because the last thing you want to do is to fit it and then feel uncomfortable in it and you're away from home.

Your wallet.

We all know that we shouldn't do it but some people still do it and thats carry your wallet in your back pocket, you make it very easy for pickpockets to slip it out your pocket so don't make it easy for them. Always put it in your front pocket And make sure it's tight in there and that you can feel it at all times. It is well known for strangers to come up to you asking for directions and the slip it out your front or back pocket but at least It will be harder for them if it was in the front comma when you are approached by strangers always put your hand in your pocket and hold your bag and be wary.

If you don't speak the same language.

If you go to a country most countries speak English but you are going to be in places where they don't, Google does a program called Google Translate and they can translate pictures and voice in real time, it's free So go to the app store and download it, just in case you don't have mobile network in the country that you are going Google allows you to download the language on to your phone so it doesn't rely on your network so download the language pack from the country that you're going to and then you all ready prepared. The Google Translate app converts English into the language that you want and vice versa it types it on the screen as well as speak The Language.

It would be a good idea for you to try Google Translate at home and you'll be impressed by how well it does and how fast it does it, make a shortcut on your phone too it so you can instantly just pop it open and Away you go.

Don't forget the Chargers.

I will just put this in again don't forget the chargers, the cable and the plugs! It's always a good idea to buy a second set I'm trying out before you leave home, the one thing that people tend to do is forget to take the charges and the cable and also forget to unplug it in the hotel and bring it back home with you so if you got 2 sets then you've at least got a set somewhere.

Send documents to email.

I keep saying it and I will keep saying it because is the best tip ever always always always takes pictures of your documents and send them to yourself by email so you got a copy on your email server so if you lose everything you still got a copies of everything on your email so don't just take a photograph but email it to yourself and stored it in your folder so that you know you've got copies of everything.

Cheap clothing full stop

I have found over the years that one of the best things to do is to take on holiday all your old clothes so then once you've used them you they can be given away or binned but if you lose a suitcase then you haven't got to worry because all that was in there was all your cheap and old clothing, The same thing goes to your suitcase buy a cheap suitcase because then people will know that a cheap suitcase will normally have cheap stuff in it and it's not worth stealing, if your bag gets lost somehow you can say to yourself let's just get on with it and buy some new stuff because it was all cheap stuff. I found it easy to take my old clothes using once or twice then given them away and go out and buy some new cheap stuff and it works really well I never have to worry about losing anything because it was only cheap old stuff.

Mobile phones and SIM cards full stop

I always find that when you go to another country it's worth it to buy a local sim card pay as you go I'll pop it into your phone this way if you wish to make any calls it's going to be at the local rate which can be sometimes a lot cheaper than using your own, you can also give your friends and family at home your new temporary number rather than you running up a large roaming bill,I also found it easy to take a cheap throw away phone if you like and use that while you on holiday and keep your good iPhone or whatever locked up in the hotel, we all know that phones are one of the most popular items for getting stolen or lost so a cheap pay-as-you-go phone with a cheap SIM card works really well while on holiday. It'll be one less worry for you to worry about it something should happen to it. Also make sure that your holiday insurance covers you for your expensive phones and if it does get stolen make sure you get a police crime number from the local police so that you can report it to your insurance when you get home.

Late and early flights.

I found one thing when I was booking flights that there was always a flight that was too early in the morning of too late at night, When booking your flight look very carefully at the departure times and how far they are away from your hotel, you do not want to be getting up at 1 a.m. in the morning to get to a flight at 5 a.m. and an hour or two driving from the hotel so when you look at your flight times trying to Book flights  to give you plenty of time and none of these ridiculous hours, When you're in a third world country, again, The infrastructure can be unreliable so you don't want to be catching a 5 a.m. flight and not getting to the airport it's best to get a 5 p.m. flight and you got all day to get there. Its all things that people don't consider because they just want to book a flight to a destination and enjoy the holiday but at the time things can go wrong and then you wish you had so now I'm telling you to look at your flight times and how far they are from the hotel and what the infrastructure is like in that country, don't catch any early morning flights if possible.
