Going to trips is a very exciting thing for a lot of us. But, as our travels start increasing they aren’t as interesting anymore. Plane rides can annoy us. Going on road trips and any sort of transportation becomes kind of boring. While you might be looking forward to visiting a place, you can be still be hating the prospect of reaching the place.
Somehow it becomes important to carry entertainment with you so that you can pass time between your activities and visits. When traveling alone this can become more important. To me, the best option is to carry a kindle.
It is better than the games. Carrying games means you have to play with other people. If that person doesn’t want to play then you are stuck. If you are traveling alone then it doesn’t make sense anyway. Plus, it takes up space in your luggage as well. All the games need some setting up if you are playing with someone. May it be business, monopoly, scrabble, chess, whatever. Kindle makes it easier. Next to no space needed and no time needed for set up plus you don’t have to rely on anyone for it.
Apart from fiction, you can also download books about the place you are going to visit. You can learn about the history of the place, about the different monuments there. You can learn about the best things that the locals enjoy. You can even learn the local language and impress others you are traveling with your knowledge about the place.
Also, reading fiction based in the same place you are visiting can be fun. You can go to the places that are talked about in the book and then imagine the scenes that happened there. It can another level of thrill to add to your adventure.
Some books also mention the best cuisine that you can try in the place. You can learn a lot about the place while on your way there. If you are a private person and don’t like people disturbing you then curling up with your kindle and getting peace is great.
No wifi is another dreadful thing for people nowadays. While booking places, availability of wifi is what people check nowadays. Updating snaps and insta stories has become really important. If you don’t upload stories, did you even go on a vacation?
But, in some places, wifi is not an option so instead of feeling like you are missing out on the sharing fun, you can read and ignore your plight. Reading can make you forget that you don’t have wifi. You can visit cafes and instead of clicking pictures, you can actually sit there and enjoy the place with a good book and coffee.
Carrying books take up a lot of space, and you don’t even have a lot of options. Plus, taking care of the books is another thing you have to worry about. With Kindle, you have more options and get to save space. Carrying a Kindle is a great thing for any trip. I have started doing that for every trip.
