Tips To Travel

1.Bag everything in your bag

This may sound like a very simple thing but trust me it is magical when your in a rush! Having your socks in one plastic bag and your t-shirts in another allows you to easily get to the bottom of your bag instantly.

2.Currency Converter App

A currency converter apps is by far one of the most useful tools you can have when travelling. As you go from place to place the currency changes, this apps helps to ensure not only that your receiving the best exchange rate but also helps to ensure that you are receiving the correct amount. I personally used one called Currency which can easily be downloaded on the Apple App store for free.

3. Travelers guide

Although almost everything can be accessed by the internet a travellers guide is a handy thing to have. It is written by reliable people who have done their research and not only recommends great places to eat and stay at different price ranges but also specifies the opening hours and prices of museums and activities which is very useful for planning your days when you only have a short stay in a certain destination. I personally used the Lonely Planet Southeast Asia on a shoestring guide which can be purchased on amazon via the link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lonely-Planet-Southeast-shoestring-Travel-ebook/dp/B01LE7F0E8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1506974712&sr=8-2&keywords=southeast+asia+lonely+planet

4. Separate your money

One thing you often hear from other people who have travelled Asia is about money being stolen or going missing therefore it is a good idea to keep only a little amount of cash on you at any one time and makes sure its concealed, a money pouch for under you clothes is a worthwhile investment.

5. Haggling

Asia isn’t like most European countries were the price is set, haggling is an integral part of the way business is conducted. The best way to ensure you’re not getting ripped off is to stick to the rule that usually you can get the price down to at least half of what they initially offer and if this still doesn’t suit you, don’t be afraid to walk away and try somewhere else.
