Plan out your Holiday keeping these in mind

Travelling for leisure or business, a holiday is always an enjoyable activity. At tough financial times like today, paying for airfare and hotel expenses feels like a mountain climbing task. In this blog, I will share some noteworthy strategies and tips to include in your holiday plan. This comes from a person like me who looks to make a holiday trip the awesomest at all times!

First, things first, take as minimum items as possible while you travel. If you bring a number of valuable items with you, there is a risk you have to carry of losing them or being stolen. Be smart whenever travelling to foreign countries. For example, there might be a food allergy you suffer with. If you don’t know what it’s called in the native language, you are in for a lot of confusion. In a worst, case scenario, you need to be able to tell the doctor as to what went wrong. Yes, this comes from a personal experience!

You might expect a king-like treatment in a flight, but at times you cannot depend on them to see your needs. If you feel the same, pack a travel pillow, a light cosy blanket and comfortable headphones to keep you relaxed at all times. If you seek for food every now and then, a lengthy flight cannot serve you good. Therefore, bring your own snacks for your mouth ever-munching mouth.

If activities like sightseeing or a visit to amusement parks require tickets, make sure to grab them well in advance. The long queues and lengthy waiting times can take a toll on you. This can take away some precious time off your travel. To avoid this, look out for places that allow times entry. This way you can skip the tedious waiting time.

                 

By travelling smartly, you will find not only find your holiday to be stress-free but enjoyable too. No matter what your destination, sit back, relax and have your own perfect time!

London, hands down, the best destination I have visited

Beauty of London

After travelling for around 6 years now, it’s a head-scratching kind of a task to share one such destination that has served me best. When it comes to an overall experience, my trips to London have been really special. This city carries that vibe of happiness that each one of us seeks for. The welcoming nature of this place makes you feel like home. Its rich culture and heritage is the reason why it has grown tremendously turning into one of the powerful cities in the world. 

To start with, I witnessed the busiest and the most beautiful Heathrow airport. The tourist attractions and sight-seeing places gave me a lot more to capture than I expected. Each of them is unique in their style, architecture and history. The public transport here never makes you feel the absence of having a car. Everything is so systematic and with self-explanatory sign boards, you never feel lost in the city.  However, the most cost-effective mode of transport in the London Underground or the tub stations as they call it. Even the buses are an excellent option.

The trademark black cab of London might be good for travelling small distances, but due to its high-cost factor, it’s not what I preferred. Who doesn’t like to bring back the good-old days of cycling around right? Yes, I did it! That too in London! In this city, there are these cycle stations at every distance. This way you can drop off and take off on one whenever you need.

When it comes to food, I’m just crazy! The innumerable eat outs, cafes, restaurants and pubs here was like heaven for me. The people here prefer breakfast as the biggest meal of the day. The typical English breakfast with some tea is sumptuous. If you carry an unconditional love for desserts, don’t even dare to miss the English desserts that are simply Yum!

The people here come across as the most warm and friendly ones. It is also one of the most fashionable cities in the world with an impeccable dressing sense you witness here. Having visited multiple times already, London has a lot more for me to explore!

Searching for that crazy holiday mood? Read this!

Who doesn’t love a good holiday right? For many of us, the trips we take are the high points punctuating the daily grind. With people becoming more and more stressed out due to their everyday lifestyles, it’s essential to take some time off and relax and go for a luxurious holiday trip. But if you are not in a mood for it, here are some techniques I have been using that might work well for you too! If followed, these will help you give a boost to your excitement for sure

Remember those people who often post status updates on Facebook stating stuff like ’24 days to go until Goa!’ or ‘Can’t wait for my trip to France next month!’? Admit it, these surely make you feel envious but to be honest, they have the right idea. Getting excited about your holiday in advance builds up anticipation and gives you the feeling of impatience to get that ‘holiday time’ you need.


Open yourself! Encountering new things no matter how crazy they are, they are sure to make the time memorable. It’s about getting out of our comfort zone is the magic of being on a holiday. But you are never going to achieve that if you are stuck in your hotel room all day. Even if you are sitting by the pool all day and drinking cocktails, do it with an open mind and a willingness to chat around with people around. Make sure to not carry your ‘working’ mind with you.

It’s all about spoiling yourself and its ok to be a little decadent too. The very act of going on a holiday is fairly indulgent. Whether you have to forget that so called diet for a week and splurging on expensive cocktails, do it! Even if it’s a trashy novel you have to read, read it! I promise you will return much happier if you do!
