Summer Lifestyle Travelling Tips:

  • Before you start your lifestyle traveling, always scan important travel documents including your ID, ticket, passport, driver’s license, airline information, and other booking details. Store them in a secure, cloud-based site like Google Drive or any personal folder. In case you lose your original documents, you’ll have some backup. In case of an emergency or loss of documents, these online documents will help you in maintaining your trip.

  • When you are on the stage of booking seats try not to pay for the maximum price, always try to travel in cheap flights. Use flight search engines like such as sky scanner, Momondo, or some other cheap companies for the country that you live where you can find some economical deals.

  • Make sure these cheap travel deals have no hidden charges. Always try not to travel in national holidays because during these days’ prices will be much higher as compared to normal working days. Also there more protestations in most countries during national holidays. Make sure to check this information and stay secured.

  • Certain airports at your destination may be cheaper than others. Always check cheap flights before booking that which airport they are flying to. Try picking the cheapest destination airport to economize on your traveling. 
  • Make a list of items you plan to take a long well in advance. Add up the items to the list whenever they come to your mind. Pack as less stuff as possible (the lighter your travel, easier it will be for you to carry your luggage at your destination).

  • Pack some lighter garments (depending upon the weather) in which you can feel easy all day. Take a bag which has separate pockets for placing urgently needed items inside it like medicines or cosmetics
  • The sharps objects like razors and knife would need to go in your hold luggage. Don't fold your clothes; try to roll them to avoid creases.

  • Know the baggage weight limits of your airline. Luggage above the weight limit is charged pretty heavily by most airlines to avoid extra charges or to ensure you have the right size of luggage for after shopping.
  • For ladies, it is advisable to take a light scarf in their handbags. It will be helpful for use in temples, holy places or sheltering from the sun (even it can also be used for a cool stylish look). Pack items like 1 scarf and a light sweater they come in handy for cold weathers and the scarf can be used around your outfit or swimsuit as a sarong.
  •  Leave your pets at home or animal care shelter. Animals make traveling uncomfortable for you and your fellow passengers. Many hotels don’t allow pets either.

  •  Travel vaccination is mandatory for most countries by the law. Make sure you are adequately vaccinated and keep a medical tool kit with bandages; thermometer and oral rehydration in your luggage.
  • Are you single and ready to mingle? Don't forget many stories have been written on the history of love of strangers meeting at various destinations around the world and going on to be the happiest couples with beautiful kids. So what to do?
                 - Bring your A game on your travel. 
                 - Dress your best and sophisticated - good looking has never killed anyone but rather it has saved souls :)
                 - Visit local bars/pubs, Cafeterias,  Art Galleries and Parks.
                 - Ladies have a constant smile on the face, be kind, return those lovely gazes and stares. 


Always carry some toiletries including your toothbrush and a change of shirt or two clothing items in your backpack. To avoid turning up in a country without luggage as a result of lost luggage and you find that you may need to wear the clothes you have been traveling in for longer than expected.
  • FINALLY............
