During the peak season, it can be challenging to find luxurious accommodation with impeccable service. Sometimes, you may have to settle for quaint villages and poor service.
If you’re planning a trip, make sure to book your long-haul flight in advance. Consider opting for a low-cost carrier if you don’t mind sacrificing some frills. But be prepared for a possible overload of passengers and limited legroom. You might find yourself crammed into a small seat with little overhead space, and the in-flight meal might leave much to be desired. But don’t let that get you down – bring some snacks and a good book to keep you occupied. If someone annoys you or tries to distract you, you can politely tell them to go fly a kite.
When traveling overland, you have the flexibility to make decisions on the fly. You can stop and explore interesting places or overlook the ones that don’t catch your interest. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture. If you have time to kill, you can always explore the surroundings and enjoy the panoramic views.
While travelling, keep an eye on your belongings and be aware of your surroundings. And if you’re driving, make sure to obey traffic laws and not overtake other vehicles recklessly. Stay focused on enjoying your journey and taking in all the experiences along the way.
