Exploring Ha Giang A-Z
Jun 11, 2024
No matter where your upcoming trip is, having some travel experience before leaving will bring you and your loved ones exciting moments together. Being prepared for your trip will also help you avoid potential risks, such as missing your schedule or running out of clean clothes for the last two days.
So, what kind of preparation is considered thorough? Let’s refer to advice from Pyx Tours!
According to experience in domestic or international travel, the amount of money needed for airfare can account for 1/3 to half of the trip cost. To save money, you should book tickets early (at least 3-4 months in advance) to hunt for many incentives. There are airlines that always issue cheap tickets during the low tourist season. If you are lucky enough to “grab” tickets at this time, you will have a decent amount of money left over. In addition, booking tickets early also makes it easier for you to arrange vacation time as well as other jobs.
Before you go on a road trip, change the oil for your “companion” and check whether the operating condition is smooth, the battery is full, the light bulbs work well, and the brakes are safe. If you see any problems with the vehicle, immediately bring it to a repair shop to keep the vehicle in the most perfect condition, which is a necessary condition to prepare for the trip.
Let your mechanic know that you are planning a road trip and let them know how far you plan to go. This information is essential for them to determine whether the vehicle is suitable for travel and, if not, what repairs are needed.
You can also contact your insurance company to purchase car and motorbike insurance. This will protect you if something happens to your vehicle while you are on the road.
As soon as you arrive at the airport or drive to your destination, you want nothing more than to lie down on a comfortable bed. According to the travel experience of many people, to save money and be able to rest early, you need to book a hotel room in advance.
According to the travel experience of many people, there will be many risks that can happen to you and your loved ones during the trip. Therefore, buying travel insurance is something you must think about. If you travel on a tour, the tour will take care of this issue.
However, in the case of independent travel, you need to learn about the benefits of travel insurance packages to choose the right type, and remember to buy as soon as possible.
Don’t wait until the day of your trip or when you arrive to buy insurance. Not only will the cost be higher, the procedure will be more inconvenient, and the travel insurance package will not cover the entire trip.
You should choose an insurance package that includes provisions for compensation for illness, accidents (you will be supported with hospital fees) and delayed/cancelled flights (you will be supported with compensation for previously paid travel expenses).
Checking the weather forecast helps you update the weather situation at the tourist destination. You can be more proactive in planning as well as changing the plan to be more reasonable and effective.
Besides, you can also choose clothes that are more suitable for the weather and schedule. This results in a better playing experience.
At the very least, you should give a few people close to you a detailed itinerary of your trip. They should know your flight number, where you are going, who is traveling with you, the name and contact information of the hotel where you are staying, the places you will visit, etc. This is so that if for some reason they lose contact with you, they will have a basis to look for you.
You should carefully research appropriate payment methods where you will travel. Currently, bank transfer or bank card payments are very popular at domestic tourist destinations and when you travel internationally, credit cards are indispensable. However, always remember to keep a small amount of cash in your wallet, so you will be more proactive in paying in many cases such as the place you use the service, purchase does not accept bank transfer/card payment or sometimes the bank service is under maintenance, you cannot use the service.
You should only carry 1-2 cards and leave the others at home. This minimizes the risk if your wallet and cards are lost or stolen.
To avoid wasting time or missing out on delicious local dishes, the experience of preparing for a trip is to learn about delicious dishes in the place you are going.
Currently, there are many sources to learn about delicious dishes in each locality. Especially with the development of fast, practical content channels such as Tiktok, Youtube, Facebook, … or detailed, practical review channels such as Youtube clips, Facebook, …
Thus, you can easily find delicious food places recommended by locals or tourists and have a memorable trip.
The travel experience that you should keep in mind is to choose light, thin clothes that take up less space in your suitcase/backpack and are easy to layer to create many sets of clothes with different styles. This preparation helps you deal with all types of weather: hot or cold, sunny or rainy.
If your trip involves outdoor winter activities such as skiing, also avoid packing heavy, bulky clothes. Just a thick coat is enough, and you should wear it right from the start, not stuff it in your suitcase.
When traveling to another country/city, pay attention to local customs and traditions regarding dress. This way you can prepare the appropriate clothes and not feel out of place or self-conscious during your trip.
If you bring whatever you like, your luggage will soon be full, but it may not be enough. That means if you are going to the beach and you know you will spend most of your time in the sea and pool, bring a few bikinis, bathrobes, just 2 outfits on the beach will be enough. Similarly, for shoes and accessories, don’t pack high heels or boots if you spend all day wandering the streets.
Folding clothes takes up more space in your suitcase. They are also more prone to wrinkling than rolling them. Rolling saves you the need for an iron and allows you to pack more items.
Having a basic first aid kit or some basic medicines and medical supplies with you will save you time in finding a pharmacy if you have an accident or get injured. Some common medicines such as cold, fever, diarrhea, etc. will also be useful. If you take prescription drugs, remember to carry the prescription with you so that if you lose the medicine, you can easily get it replaced.
There are some areas that are not safe for tourists such as forbidden canyons, ski resorts with warning signs, border areas, etc. When deciding to go to these places, you need to call your relatives at home to let them know you are safe, tell them when you will leave and what time you will return. The person you choose should be responsible, calm and able to handle emergency situations.
Pickpockets often target tourists, who may be distracted or disoriented by their surroundings, so use a money belt or jacket to protect your ID, money, and credit cards.
When you go out, don’t carry too many valuables. For example, if you’re going to the beach, you might take a small amount of cash and some identification. However, you won’t need phones or credit cards.
Many countries, cafes, and restaurants have public wifi, but the networks are not secure and are vulnerable to hackers. If you must use public wifi, avoid choosing unsecured hotspots to access your banking or credit applications. Also, set passwords on any electronic devices you plan to carry with you so that others cannot access them.
When you take a great photo, you want to share it with your friends right away. However, doing this can accidentally make your house to be a target for thieves. It is best to wait until you return home before posting any photos or other information about your trip.
Another thing to note is to never post details of your trip on social media, including the places you are going.
Above are the travel experiences and travel preparation experiences that you should save to apply for upcoming trips.
