Google maps, cash distribution, packing beforehand and other very useful tips.. thanks for sharing Yukti
These are all great tips for travelling. I always copy my travel documents but never thought of saving them in an email or cloud storage. I’ll definitely do that next time.
These are all important things to you know and remember when you are traveling. I don’t always think about local SIM cards but that does seem so important.
These are some very useful tips. I especially like the tip about putting cash and credit cards in other luggage, it’s so important and something we don’t think about! You’re also right about the 5-star hotels, they sometimes release deals and last minute too!
Thank you for this post! This is definitely steps I need to use because #8 the minimal clothes, I almost always seem to over pack thinking I don’t have enough.
