Travel Tips (Victotia)

Travelling is a nice activity.  Travelling becomes one of the best thing in our lives. When you are in bad mood, just go amywhere where you want to go. However, before you go I want to give you several travel tips!

1. Learn how to say "no thank you". Most travel advice columns will tell you to learn how to say "hello", "yes please", "thank you", "do you speak English?". But in some contries you really want to be able to say "no thanks. PLEAS LEAVE ME ALONE". Think about the crowded market places. If you are able to say "No thakns" in their language is going to givr you a lot more peace.

2. Roll your clothes when packing!! No creases and more clothes fit into your suitcase.

3. Before you go, learn how to swim. Yku never knoe when you might need to on the spur of the moment.

4. Learn how to pack light! You do not need to take 20kg for a week of trsvel. You can wear trousers two days in a riw or more. The less you havr to carry, the happier you will be happirr you eill be travelling. 

   If you have many suitcase, a thief will be take it. Especially FRANCE!

5. Know how much it should cost in a taxi. Carry a card with the hotel address and a map. Ask for taxi drivers to use the meter. Make sure they are legitimate taxi drivers.

5. Always carry a hard copy map of thr city you are going to. It could be save your phone charge for ehen you really need it.

6. Make sure your bank cards work. There is nothung more annoying on hoildays thab spendung hours on the phone to the bank home.

7. Carry tissues. You know what I am saying :)

8. Use public transport. It is fast way to get anywhere. Also, it is cheaper and it will give yoi a better travel experience. GET A MAP, learn the different ticket types.

9. Buy and wear good walking shoes.  Blisters are not fun and high heels do not work on anywhere for travelling.

10. Eat where the local eat. Do not eat your county food. PLEASE 

if you are planning to go travel have fun with your louvers♡ 

Essential Tips for Traveling with a Family - Continued (Tinglei Kuang)

5 Essential Tips for Traveling with a Family

(Continued)

1. Use your trip as a language course. Knowing we were going to Italy, France and Spain, we learned a bit of the languages before we left. The kids had fun learning to say hello, thank you, and where’s the bathroom, among other phrases. We never got fluent, but I think we all learned a bit about cultures and languages, and it was a great start. There’s no better way to practice a language than visiting the country.
2. Ask locals for recommendations. Guide books and the Internet are great, but the best recommendations come from people who really live there. Before we left, I asked for recommendations from locals (onGoogle+) and made a list. While we were in each city, I would ask locals we met for recommendations as well, and came up with some delightful discoveries.
3. Have something to keep kids busy on trains. I don’t mind train rides at all, but the kids get bored. So they each have some kind of device, like an iPod touch or game device, to play games, listen to music and watch movies. Not my favorite thing in the world for them to do, but so much better than complaints of being bored for several hours.
4. Naps are good. We tend to leave each morning for exploring, and then come back after a late lunch for a nap. The kids get tired walking around in the sun, and so do we. A nap of an hour (or three if you’re jetlagged) is a good thing, and we usually would head out when the day was cooling down for some evening sightseeing and dinner.
5. Buy groceries. We tend to buy cereal and yogurt and fruit for breakfast, along with coffee and maybe some things for dinner or snacks. This allows us to save money, eat something a bit healthier than pastries and pizza at least one or two meals of the day, and relax at home in the mornings and during our afternoon break. It’s one of the good things about having an apartment.

Some of the ways to beat Jet Lag (Fengting MAI)

Before the Flight

Rest up

Rest well prior to travel. A lack of sleep will make you more vulnerable to jet lag.

Avoid stress

Make sure you have packed everything you need and that your itinerary is in order. Arrive at the airport ahead of time to avoid last-minute stress. A calm frame of mind will help you relax during your flight.

Acclimatise

Change your sleep routine. Push your schedule back or forward, depending on where you are going. This will give your body a chance to gradually adjust to your new time zone.

Carb-load

Eat a carb-dense meal for dinner on the night before your flight. Research on clock genes has uncovered subtle effects that indicate carbs boost your ability to sleep.

During the Flight

Fly Business Class

The perks of Business Class can make your trip more comfortable and ensure that you rest well during your flight.

Reset your clock

As soon as you begin your flight, set your watch to the time at your destination and eat and sleep accordingly. This will help you to mentally prepare for your new time zone.

Stay hydrated

Drink water and avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages during your flight. Dehydration messes with your internal clock and exaggerates jet lag symptoms.

Cocoon

Eliminate noise with earplugs, block out light with an eye shade, and crank the air-conditioning to lower your body temperature—a lower core temperature signals it is time for sleep.

 After the Flight

Expose yourself to light

Light is essential for resetting your internal clock. If you arrive at your destination during the day, get outside to take in natural daylight.

Protein-load

Eat a protein-rich meal. Proteins help your brain to produce neurochemicals that increase your alertness.

Warm up

Research indicates that elevating your body temperature can help reset your circadian rhythms. Exercise, take a sauna or relax in a warm bath to stay alert.

Acclimatise

Reset your internal clock by eating, going to bed, and waking up according to local time.
