If you love nothing more than packing your bags and jetting off to unknown shores, this short article will be of good use, as we present a few cool travel hacks that every tourist should know.
Take photos of your passport and email them to yourself – The photo page and your current visa should be snapped with your smartphone, and send the images to yourself; in the event, you lose your passport, you at least have copies of the important pages. In the event an immigration officer asks to see your passport, you can show him the images, and you can proceed on your way.
Make friends with travel apps – Many travelers use travel apps, and all you need to do is register and create a profile, and you can find other travelers who happen to be in the same location.
Search Play Store for the best free travel apps (they might contain ads) and take advantage of the cool digital apps available to us all. Whether you are staying at Dhigu Maldives Resort or Phuket, Thailand, you will make friends using the top travel apps.
Store rechargeable batteries in the fridge – It might surprise you to learn that rechargeable batteries retain more charge if they are stored in a low-temperature environment. As soon as you get back to your hotel, store those batteries in the fridge, and don’t forget to take them out in the morning.
Universal power adapter – This is one thing that everyone should carry; wherever you happen to go, you can be sure to recharge your devices. A universal pack has connectors for all power systems, so don’t travel without one.
Use Google Translator – Let’s face it, there isn’t a better translation app than Google; just about every language in the world is covered, and that means you can throw away that phrase book once and for all. Click here for the top travel destinations in 2023.
No money changing at airports – The worst rates are at your destination airport, and you should only change enough to get you into the city. This is an across-the-board rule that will save you money every time you travel.
Buy a good travel wallet – Your money needs to be kept in a very safe place, and some of the best travel wallets are available online. Keeping your money close to your front torso is the safest way to avoid becoming a victim of pickpockets.
Make the best use of the web – The Internet offers so much to the traveler; you can do some online research into your destination country, which will enrich the travel experience, plus you can book cheap flights and accommodation from the comfort of your own living room.
Inform your credit card provider that you are traveling – Some credit card companies put a hold on a card if they see a transaction in a foreign country, which is an anti-theft measure that can be very inconvenient. It only takes a simple phone call to inform the company that you are traveling abroad, and this will be noted, and you won’t have any issues.
If you are traveling to The Maldives, or anywhere else for that matter, take note of the above travel hacks, and you won’t regret it.
