10 Best Tips for Holidaying and Traveling

As most of the people love to spend some holidays in some different exotic locations in the world be it a adventure tour, be it a trekking in the forest, or roaming in a beautiful city. In today’s very tiring life we should get some time for ourselves and should enjoy the benefits of the holidays. There are some things which we should always keep in mind while going for a holiday anywhere in the world otherwise a holiday may also become a nightmare.


Here I am sharing some of the useful tips which I have come across with so far and found very useful. If we follow these traveling tips then any body can enjoy his or her holidays without any interruptions. So let us start:

  • The first most important thing while going on tour and travel is carrying proper documents with you like visa, passport and identity proofs, etc. So please do not be careless regarding these documents and always carry these with utmost care. So be ready with all your important documents or other things like traveler cheques, visa debit card, etc.




  • It is very necessary to have yourself covered with travel insurance. There are some good insurance companies which provide good insurance coverage at affordable cost during your tour and travel, thus who knows what miss happening may happen with anybody. So never ever go on tour without a travel insurance which covers any type of accident insurance, medical insurance, death insurance, and luggage theft insurance. So make sure to include the term of monetary assistance in case if your luggage or money is stolen.
  • Have enough food and water in your back pack so that in case if you do not get any food at any place then at least you would not sleep empty stomach that night. One day while traveling in an Indian city I got my wallet stolen in the morning and I did not have money at all to eat food or drink water. Thanks to my mother's advice who asked me to carry some food and water always with me otherwise that day I would have to travel with empty stomach.
  • If you have kids with you then it is better to put GPS navigator in their pockets as it has been seen many a times that kids get lost during the travel putting the parents in trouble. And also put important details with them like important phone numbers , addresses, some money, some food, Xerox of important papers if any, etc.



  • Carry proper medicine with you but after the consultation with your doctor. Sometimes medicines are needed so when in case of doctor’s absence it is useful, saves your money as well. Carry some bandages, cotton, anti-pyretic pills, paracetamol, medicine for cough, cold, vomiting, etc. Also consider a good antiseptic cream, mosquito repellent cream or spray, mosquito net if you are going to visit any remote like areas. If you are a couple or not still I would advice you always carry condoms with you. It is also advised to drink bottled water only as most of the diseases come through drinking water.
  • Before going to any place let yourself know about the climate and weather conditions of that particular place. For this you can ask your travel agent, or any of your friends who knows about that place. So that you can chose clothes to carry accordingly.
  • Take care of your health during your travel and holidays in other places. Do some searches in Google about the health precautions about that particular place so that you can be aware of any such risks if any and avoid them. Be very precautious about the hygiene and try to avoid having any food or beverages from any unhygienic place. A little bit of carelessness regarding hygiene may spoil your whole holiday and money and may turn into a nightmare.
  • Do all the bookings in advance like hotels, club, spa, cars, city tour, safari tour, or any other thing which can be booked online so that your time and money can be saved. You can also ask your tour operator to arrange for the passes to travel in the public transport buses or trains if such pass facilities are available there, as some country provides such facilities for the tourists. This way you can also tour the city without any problem at your own convenience.



  • Search the internet for more information about the places which you are going to visit so that you can get some extra information about that place which may be useful to you in any way. You can also search about the major attractions, any adventure sport, popular places for tourist, etc so that you can also consider these to include in your holiday.
  • You can also search internet for some good and cheap restaurant, bar, public park, any museum, club, etc near your hotel where you are going to stay so that during your stay you may also enjoy the specialty of that restaurant or club or whatever which is special there. It is also a good option to buy a tour guide about that particular place which would be very useful for you, and keep it with you during your traveling. Today lots of guides about different tourist places are available online as well and some good tour operator also provides them to their customers. Thus you may get some useful information like history and cultural information, eating out, sightseeing, transport, or any other useful practical information.
  • It is not wise to put all your clothes and your important items or any stuff in only one luggage case. If you are traveling with your family and carrying four cases then it is better not put all the clothes of one person in only one case but better to put some clothes of each person in each case, so that in case if you lose any case then everybody would have something to wear.
  • If you are going with a tour operator then keep one copy of the itinery with each family member so that in case if some body is lost then he or she would at least have some information about the next plan and may catch you there. I would also you to leave a copy of the itinery at your home so that in case of any emergency it would help your family members.



  • Have some electronic and emergency cool gadgets like gps device, camera, etc as in any emergency situation these gadgets may be very helpful.
  • We should also avoid to become the target of crime as it has been seen many times that some local thieves and other anti social elements tend to target tourists as it is easy for them to loot money from them. Thus do carry excessive amount of cash with you and do not wear jewelry, if you want then be aware of such elements. Do not accept any eatables or any other thing from the strangers at any cost as it is not safe. Never leave your luggage unattended even for few seconds as it may be possible some eyes are following you for any such chance.
If anybody follows all the tips listed above then I think he or she would not encounter any unwanted interruption or problem during the journey or their holiday. After we all go to enjoy our holidays then why we should let any unwanted problem in the way of our joy.
