While I hope to offer a little insight into improving your travel game based on what I’ve learned, I find more tips and tricks from larger Reddit communities.
Travel Tips
Handy tips and tricks to get the most out your travel experiences.
📃 My favorite gear review site
I wish I had unlimited money and time to try out more gear (I have neither) so I look to the experts when I need ideas or help.
🔖 Why bookmarks and postcards are the best souvenirs
They’re inexpensive, take up no space, you can find them everywhere, and you can use them to remind you of your trips (assuming you read physical books).
🧳 Epic low-profile packing to save space and weight
I evaluate everything I travel with and slim down anything I can. This strategy also allows me to take more items with me or have room to bring things home.
🎥 How I find random cool places in new cities
I tend to look for less traditional things to do and see in addition to the typical locations. One of my favorite things to research is movie filming locations.
🚉 Travel By Train Instead Of Plane When You Can
If it takes 6 hours or less by train, we take the train every time. There tends to be more space, free Wi-Fi, a food car, cheaper, and fewer things going wrong.
💶 No foreign transaction fees and full ATM reimbursement
You should never have to pay foreign transaction fees OR ATM fees. Many $0 annual fee credit cards offer this benefit if you don’t want to play the points game.
🔐 A VPN is a “must” for security, but wait, there’s more!
Using a VPN is essential to remain safe online, but there are other benefits including streaming additional content and access to even more.
🌊 How we got to Hawaii for “free”
With most travel credit cards, you will receive a generous sign-up bonus. Did you know that not all reward redemption is the same?
