My Best 61 Travel Tips to Make You the World’s Savviest Traveler

Most people aren’t born savvy travelers. It’s something that only comes with on-the-road experience. Travel savviness is a process born of missed buses, foolish behavior, cultural unawareness, and countless tiny errors. Then, one day, you begin to seamlessly move through airports and integrate yourself into new cultures like a fish to water.

In the beginning, you just make a lot of travel mistakes.

But I want to help speed up the process and help you avoid my mistakes ( and I often make a lot of them ), so I put together this giant list of my best travel tips that cover everything under the sun to help you reach your full travel ninja potential.

I’ve learned these tips over the last sixteen years being a nomad.

These tips for traveling will have you saving money, sleeping better, getting off the beaten path more, meeting locals, and just being a better traveler.

So, without further ado, here are the best 61 travel tips in the world:

1. Always pack a towel. It’s the key to successful galactic hitchhiking – and plain common sense. You never know when you will need it, whether it’s at the beach, on a picnic, or just to dry off after a shower. While many hostels offer towels, you never know if they will or not, and carrying a small towel won’t add that much weight to your bag.

Make sure it’s a lightweight, quick-drying towel since regular towels are too bulky and heavy (and they take a long time to dry). Dry Fox travel towels are my favorite (use the code “nomadicmatt” for 15% off your purchase)!

My favorite bag is the Flash Pack from REI . Other companies offering high-quality bags are Osprey, Nomatic, and MEC (for Canadians).

This article has more tips on finding the best travel backpack for your needs.

The same rule applies to suitcases. Don’t take a huge suitcase because they are a pain in the butt to lug around, especially if you’re traveling long term (short term, not so much). I like Level 8 suitcases. They are durable, quite spacious, nicely designed, and well-priced (luggage can be pretty damn expensive). Plus, they have a TSA lock built into the zipper. You can click here to learn more and buy one .

I also recommend packing cubes , which are essential if you’re going to be living out of a backpack for a few weeks (or months), or you just want to keep your suitcase better organized. They come in a variety of sizes, allowing you to store items big and small. They’re great for making it easy to find everything in your backpack or suitcase.

3. Pack light. Write down a list of essentials, cut it in half, and then only pack that! Plus, since you bought a small backpack like I said above, you won’t have much room for extra stuff anyways! Take half the clothes you think you will need…you won’t need as much as you think. It’s OK to wear the same t-shirt a few days in a row.

I love Unbound Merino , as their travel clothing can be worn daily for weeks without getting smelly. They are super light and they look sylish too. I really love the material, they’re comfortable, they hardly ever need a wash, and they last forever!

4. But take extra socks. You’ll lose a bunch to laundry gremlins, wear and tear, and hiking so packing extra will come in handy. Take a few more than you need. Trust me on this. Nothing beats a fresh pair of socks!

Here’s a list of all my best hostels around the world . If you’re planning on backpacking Europe , it’s worth getting HostelPass , a card that gives you up to 20% off hostels throughout Europe. It’s a great way to save money, and they’re constantly adding new hostels too. I’ve always wanted something like this and so I’m glad it finally exists. Use code NOMADICMATT for 25% off.

6. Take an extra bank card and credit card with you Disasters happen and things get stolen or compromised. I once had a card duplicated and a freeze put on it. I couldn’t use it for the rest of my trip. I was very happy I had a backup. You don’t want to be stuck somewhere new without access to your funds. This happened to a friend once and they had to borrow money for me for weeks while they waited for their new card to arrive.

Here are some helpful articles on banking:

• 22 Ways to Cut Your Expenses and Have Money for Travel
• How to Pick the Best Travel Credit Card

7. Make sure to use no-fee bank cards. Don’t give banks your hard-earned money. Keep that for yourself and spend it on your travels. Get a credit card and debit card that doesn’t charge a foreign transaction fee or an ATM fee. Over the course of a long trip, the few dollars they take every time will really add up!

Here’s an article that will tell you how to do that.

8. Don’t fly direct. When booking flights, sometimes it is cheaper to fly in to airports close to your final destination, and then take a train, bus, or budget airline to where you need to go.

To use this method, find out how much it is to go directly to your destination. Then, look at prices to nearby airports. If the difference is more than $150 USD, I look to see how much it is to get from the second airport to my primary destination.

My favorite flight search engine is Skyscanner . This is my go-to website for finding cheap flights. It searches a lot of different airlines, including many of the budget carriers that larger sites miss.

10. Always visit the local tourism information center. This is probably one of the most underused travel tips in the world. Tourism information centers know about everything going on in town. They can point you to free activities, special events happening during your stay, and everything in between. They even offer discounts on attractions and transportation. It is their job to help you experience the destination better. It’s amazing how many travelers skip this when they are visiting somewhere but, as a savvy traveler, you know to use this resource!

11. Take free walking tours. Besides being free, these tours will give you a good orientation and background of the city you are visiting. I love, love, love taking walking tours when I travel. You pass the time, you get to pepper the guide with questions, and you get to learn so much about where you are. Here are some of my favorite walking tour companies around the world:

• The Best Walking Tours in New York City
• The Best Walking Tours in London
• The Best Walking Tours in Paris
• The Best Walking Tours in Berlin
• The Best Walking Tours in Amsterdam

And while free walking tours are great, sometimes it’s worth it to take a paid walking tour if you’d like to dig deeper into a particular aspect of the destination. Walks is one of my favorite paid walking tour companies, offering in-depth history and cultural tours in cities around the world (especially Europe). Its small-group tours also tend to offer exclusive behind-the-scenes access you can’t get elsewhere.

For fellow foodies, Devour Food Tours has all kinds of amazing food tours around Europe.

12. Don’t be afraid to use a map. Looking like a tourist isn’t as bad as getting really lost and ending up in the wrong neighborhood. Don’t be afraid to use a map or ask for directions and look like a tourist. After all, you are one!

13. But don’t be afraid to get purposefully lost. Wandering aimlessly through a new city is a good way to get to know it, get off the beaten path, and away from the tourists. You might be surprised by the hidden gems you find. I like to wander around and try to find my way without using Google Maps. Travel is the art of discovery and you never know what cool little spot you’ll come across.

14. Ask hostel staff for information — even when you aren’t staying there. Hostel staff deal with budget travelers all day, every day. They know exactly where to go for cheap meals and attractions. They also tend to be locals so they know the city very well. Ask them for all sorts of information. Even if you aren’t staying in one, just pop in and ask for help. They’ll usually give it.

15. Sign up for flight deals. When it comes to travel, your flight(s) will likely be your biggest expense. Save money by signing up for flight deal websites. You’ll get epic flight deals straight to your inbox, saving you time and money. Also be sure to sign up for airline newsletters, since that is where they will announce their sales first. The best websites for finding travel deals are:

• Going (formerly Scott’s Cheap Flights) – The BEST for upcoming US flight deals.
• The Flight Deal – Great for global flight deals.
• Holiday Pirates – The best for European flight deals.
• Secret Flying – A great site for flight deals from around the world.

16. Don’t buy a money belt — they’re stupid. Thieves know they exist and being seen with one basically shouts, “Look at me, I’m a tourist with money! Rip me off!” The more you can blend in and act like a local, the easier it will be to get deals and avoid touts. If you’re worried about pickpockets, keep a better eye on your stuff!

17. When you go out, take only what you need. Limit the amount of cash and bank cards you carry with you when you go out, so if something does happen, you can easily recover. Never take more than one credit card or ATM card with you. My rule for cash is to limit what I carry to $50 USD.

18. Always carry a lock. Carry a small combination lock with you when you travel. They come in handy, especially when you stay in dorms. Most hostels use lockers, so budget travelers need to provide their own travel lock to keep stuff secured. While you can usually rent or buy them at hostels, it’s much cheaper just to buy one before you go. (Just don’t use one with keys because if you lose the keys, you’re screwed!)

19. Make extra copies of your passport and important documents. Don’t forget to e-mail a copy to yourself too. You never know when you might need to have some sort of documentation with you and might not want to carry your original. Additionally, if your passport gets stolen having a copy will come in handy for your police report.

20. Learn basic phrases in the native language of your destination. The locals will appreciate it and it will make your interactions easier. You don’t need to master the language but learning a few things like “Hello,” “Goodbye,” “Thank you!”, “Where’s the bathroom?” will go a long way to endearing yourself with the locals. They’ll like that you tried.

Here are some tips on how to learn a language .

Here are some posts that highlight my favorite reads:

22. Don’t be ashamed to walk into a Starbucks or McDonald’s. Sometimes familiarity is comforting and both places have free wifi and public restrooms you can use. (Just don’t eat the food at McDonald’s! That shit is gross and unhealthy for you! You can get it back home!). Libraries and most modern coffee shops also have free Wi-Fi too.

23. Always get behind business travelers when in security lines. They move fast since they are usually in a rush and travel light. They know the drill. Line up behind them as much as possible. You’ll speed through the line!

24. Never get behind families in airport security. They take forever. It’s not their fault. They just have a lot of stuff because of the kids. Try to avoid getting in lines with lots of kids. It’s going to take a while.

25. When you check in to the hotel, don’t be afraid to ask for an upgrade. They have a lot of flexibility when it comes to assigning upgrades at check-in. It never hurts to ask. Often times they can accommodate you if the hotel isn’t full. Just be super nice!

Note: If you stay in hotels frequently (or want to), it might be worth it to get a hotel credit card . You can earn points on your everyday spending at home and convert those points into free stays. The best cards come with status, making upgrades more likely too!

26. Write down your experiences. Even in this hyper-technological age, I think everyone needs to write more during their travels so they have something to look back on. I never leave home without a journal. Not only do I use them for work (I’m constantly taking notes and writing down ideas) but I also use them to keep track of my travels.

Simple travel journals work great for journaling during your trip as well as for writing down logistical information like directions, contact information, and language tips.

If you want a travel journal that isn’t just blank pages but rather has space for itinerary planning, places to jot notes in the local language, inspirational quotes, and more, grab our new travel journal. It was designed specifically with travelers in mind, so you can take notes as well as write down stories and reflections during your travels.

27. Lunchtime is the best time to visit historical sites. Be a contrarian. You’ll have fewer crowds getting in your way as big tour buses, groups, and most travelers head to lunch. It’s always best to visit an attraction super early, late, or when people eat. You’ll have even the most popular places to yourself!

28. Never eat in a touristy area or near a tourist attraction. As a general rule, I walk five blocks in either direction before I find a place to eat. The closer you are to tourist attractions the more you are going to pay and the worse the food (and service). Use websites like Yelp , Google Maps , or Open Rice to find some delicious and popular restaurants around you.

Additionally, never eat anywhere the menu is in like 6 languages! That means the restaurant is just for tourists!

29. Locals don’t eat out every night and neither should you. Go grocery shopping. You can learn a lot about locals’ diets by seeing the type of food they buy. Plus, it will save you a lot of money. You won’t regret it. Cook your food, save money, and surprise yourself!

30. Eat at expensive restaurants during lunch. Most expensive restaurants offer lunch specials featuring the same food they would serve for dinner but for a fraction of the cost! That’s the best time to eat out when you travel.

I share more tips on how to eat cheaply around the world here.

31. Pack a headlamp. This is a handy tool for both backpackers and anyone looking to do any hiking or camping. If you’re going to be staying in a hostel, having a headlamp is helpful when you need to check in or out but don’t want to disturb your fellow travelers by turning on the lights. They’re also helpful in emergencies.

32. Carry a basic first-aid kit. Accidents happen, so be prepared. I always take band-aids, antibacterial cream, and ointments for minor cuts and scrapes. You never know when you’re going to need it and you can’t always get it when you travel.

You can either assemble a first aid kit yourself ( here are some tips for doing so ), or purchase a pre-made kit online .

33. Don’t believe the cheap flight myths. Don’t drive yourself too crazy trying to get the absolute cheapest fare. There are a lot of myths online about how to find cheap flights, but there is no magic bullet or one secret ninja trick. It’s not cheaper to book on a particular day of the week, or if you search in an incognito window.

Spending five hours to try to save $10 will cause you a lot of stress. Once you find a flight deal that you’re happy with, book right away, as airfares change by the minute. Remember, you usually have a 24-hour window to cancel in case you need to.

34. Use Meetup, the sharing economy, and hospitality websites to meet locals. These websites will help you get an insider’s perspective on your destination by connecting you with locals in the places you visit. The sharing economy has changed the way people travel allowing you to meet locals, get off the tourist travel, and save mega money! It’s a triple win – and I use these resources all the time when I travel.

Here’s an article on how to use the sharing economy (and what websites to use) when you travel.

35. Be open to strangers. Not everyone bites. Say hi to people on the road. Turn strangers into friends. Remember they are just like you! They want to live a happy, full life and have hopes and dreams too! You never know. You just might make some lifelong friends.

36. But keep your guard up. Some people do bite, so keep a healthy level of suspicion. You don’t want to fall for any travel scams or get yourself into uncomfortable situations. Be open but cautious. Here is a list of travel scams to avoid.

38. Avoid taxis. They are always a budget buster. Never, ever take a taxi unless you absolutely have too!

39. Take a reusable water bottle through airport security and fill it up at your gate. Single-use plastics are common in a lot of countries around the world. They’re also polluting our oceans and destroying the environment. Drink from the tap when you can — you’ll save money and help the environment. If you’re going somewhere where you can’t drink the water, be sure to get a water bottle with a filter. I love Lifestraw .

40. Get city attraction cards. If you are going to visit a lot of museums and other attractions in a short period of time, a city pass is going to save you money on admission (plus most provide free public transportation too!).

41. Take pictures of your luggage and clothes. If your bag gets lost, this will help identify it more easily and speed up the process of having your travel insurance reimburse you.

42. Carry emergency cash. Because emergencies happen, like that time in Romania when I couldn’t find an ATM and needed money for the bus to the hostel. I usually try to keep around $200 USD in emergency cash in case something happens!

43. Get good shoes. You walk a lot when you travel. Don’t beat up your feet. Love them as much as they love you, and they’ll take you to amazing places.

My favorite shoes for traveling are Suavs shoes , which are versatile and durable. They’re comfortable and great for exploring a new city all day, but also look nice enough that you can dress them up if you want to at night.

44. Get vaccinated. Because falling prey to an illness in a foreign country is not fun — and many countries require you to get vaccinated in order to visit them. So regardless of your opinion on the subject, you just might have to.

Here is an article on how to stay healthy on the road.

45. Learn to haggle. Haggling is a fun, playful way of not getting charged the foreigner price. It’s the art of negotiating and one that will help you throughout all of life, not just at the market.

Here are some articles to help you get started with using points and miles:

• Points and Miles 101: A Beginner’s Guide
• How I Earn 1 Million Frequent Flier Miles Every Year
• The Best Travel Credit Cards
• The Ultimate Guide to Picking the Best Travel Credit Card

47. Take a jacket. Nights get chilly.

48. Eat street food! If you skip the street food, you miss out on culture . Don’t be scared. If you’re nervous, look for places where kids are eating. If it’s safe for them, it’s safe for you.

49. Get travel insurance. Travel insurance is the most important thing to get that you never want to use. If something goes wrong, you don’t want to be out thousands of dollars in bills. Travel insurance will be there if you get robbed, flights get canceled, you get sick or injured, or have to be sent home. It’s comprehensive and, for just a few dollars a day, one of the best investments you can get for a trip.

You may think you’re superman/woman but so did my friend who broke her arm, didn’t have insurance, and had to pay thousands out of pocket. Insurance was there when I had to replace my camera and when I popped an eardrum scuba diving! Get it! Here are some tips on how to find the best travel insurance.

My favorite companies are:

• SafetyWing – A budget-friendly choice for travelers who need basic coverage. They are affordable, have great customer service, and make it easy to make a claim. If you’re on a tight budget, go with SafetyWing!
• Insure My Trip – The best insurance for those over 70 years old.
• Medjet – This is a membership program that provides emergency evacuation coverage should you get into a dire situation while traveling and be hospitalized. Medjet is meant to supplement your regular travel insurance.

50. Be patient. Things will work out in the end. No need to rush. You’ll get to where you are going in due time. Travel is about the journey, not the destination.

51. Be respectful. Locals are willing to help you out, but there’s probably a language barrier, so keep your cool when something doesn’t go your way. If you don’t, you’ll end up just looking like an asshole tourist.

52. Don’t over plan your trip. Let your days unfold naturally. Schedule two or three things and let the day fill in the rest on its own. It’s less stressful, and letting the day just take you is one of the best ways to travel. Here’s my advice on how not to over plan your travels!

53. Relax. See Be patient .

54. Be frugal — but not cheap. Don’t be pennywise but pound-foolish. Look for deals and don’t waste money, but don’t miss out on great experiences or walk 10 miles to save a couple of dollars. Time is money. Spend them both wisely.

55. Take earplugs. Anyone who has ever stayed in a hostel knows that earplugs are a necessity. Snorers are everywhere and you need your sleep.

But even if you’re not going to be in a hostel, they’re still helpful for sleeping well if your accommodation is located on a busy street, or for sleeping in buses, overnight trains, and other types of transportation. A good night’s sleep is priceless — be prepared!

These earplugs are reusable and work much better than the cheap foam ones, blocking out any distracting noises.

56. Always carry a power bank. Batteries die. Your good mood shouldn’t.

We all travel with numerous electronic devices like phones and tablets, but it can be hard to keep them all charged. An external battery solves that problem.

57. Remember that you’re not alone even if you’re traveling solo. Traveling alone never means you’re really alone. Wherever you go, there is a network of travelers who will be your friends, give you advice or tips, and help you out. They will guide you, point you in the right direction, and be your mentors. You aren’t out there on your own. You’ll make lots of friends and tons of memories.

If you’re not sure about traveling on your own for the first time, you can always join a group tour, such as those we offer at The Nomadic Network . I’ve designed all the itineraries myself to ensure they cover the highlights, get you off the tourist trail, and connect you with friends and locals.

59. Pre-book your tickets to attractions, activities, and excursions online. If you’re planning to do any activities or excursions on your trip, book them online. Companies usually offer a discounted price when compared to buying in person. Not only that but you’ll be able to pay with a credit card, giving you some extra protection as well as more travel points!

Many major attractions also allow you to reserve your spot and skip the line. Always look online to see if this is an option. This will you to avoid wasting time in multi-hour lines and go right in. I’ve seen people wait hours for the Paris Catacombs, Louvre, London Churchill War Rooms, churches, temples, historic fortresses, and more. Pre-book the day before, skip the line, get to see more during your day!

Get Your Guide is my favorite place to book activities in advance. It’s a huge online marketplace for tours and excursions, with tons of options in cities all around the world, including skip-the-line attraction tickets, cooking classes, walking tours, and more!

60. Avoid TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor is fine when you need opening hours or an address, but when it comes to reviews I ignore it completely. People always leave a negative review when something bad happens but rarely leave a positive review when something good happens so the reviews tend to be skewed.

On top of that, it’s very easy to create fake reviews and make a place seem better than it is. Many hotels and restaurants hire firms to artificially inflate their reviews on the platform. Additionally, TripAdvisor has been known to take down reviews that are overly negative as well as reviews on sexual assault. Use TripAdvisor with caution. Or better yet, don’t use it at all.

61. Finally, wear sunscreen. For as the Baz Luhrmann song “Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen)” goes:

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own meandering experience.

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner . It’s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld . If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• SafetyWing (best for everyone)
• Insure My Trip (for those 70 and over)
• Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

Want to Travel for Free? Travel credit cards allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for free flights and accommodation — all without any extra spending. Check out my guide to picking the right card and my current favorites to get started and see the latest best deals.

The Ultimate Guide To Savvy Travel

I rrelevant of how often you travel budget is always a key aspect determining where and what you experience while away from home.

Having survived on our budget for the past two years we’ve collated our tips for Savvy Travel below. I’m sure there are some familiar pointers but hopefully you’ll find something new amongst the wisdom we’ve shared.

HOUSE SIT & HOME STAYS

Websites like couchsurfing and Airbnb offer the opportunity to stay with local residents for much less than you would pay for a hotel. In Australia we found rooms on Airbnb that were cheaper than a room in a hostel.

Get your accommodation for free by house sitting at your destination.

Read our Wanderlust House Sitting Guide

RESEARCH YOUR DESTINATION

• Call your local travel agents and pick their brains for destination ideas then research online for the best deals and see if they can price match.
• Find out what attractions are free and look for discounted vouchers.
• Visit daily deal sites and opt for some out of the ordinary activities.
• Look into public transport and how to get frequent user discount cards.
• Consider accommodation options just outside major cities, even with the cost of the commute you may save yourself some cash.

It’s well known that booking each leg of your flight individually can often save you money. So why not make the most of your escape and layover in the destinations you pass through on the way. More travel for your money.

COMMUNICATION

Look for a local sim card as soon as you arrive in a country.

Having the ability to contact people at a low cost rate is vital if you’re to keep your costs down. Find out which providers offer the most cost effective service and consider if you will need mobile data during your stay.

Pre paid is more than likely the only option for a foreign visitor so researching the best deal may save you some pennies.

ASK FOR UPGRADES

It doesn’t matter how ridiculous you feel and how many times you’re declined the opportunity to upgrade for free exists.

Whenever you’re purchasing a service consider asking if there are any ‘free upgrades’ available. We’ve been bumped up to first class on a domestic flight and been upgraded to a penthouse in a Las Vegas hotel just because we had the inclination to ask.

ASK FOR DISCOUNTS

If declined a free upgrade ask for a discount. Even high street retailers can offer a discount if they desire.

A good phrase to use is ‘Is that your best price’ it’s less abrupt than ‘Can you give me a discount’ and we have found works well with most cash purchases.

ASK COMPANIES TO PRICE MATCH

If you’ve done your research you should have found a range of prices for your tour/flight/activity. Ask your preferred choice if they will price match the best rate you have found. A company is likely to agree if they can to prevent your business going to their competitor.

I hate to say this because I believe we should support our local economy however making your purchases online is becoming increasingly cost effective.

With a lot of online companies offering free shipping you can save anywhere between 10 to 25% by scouring the web for the things you need.

USE CASHBACK WEBSITES

If you’re purchasing something online see if you can earn yourself some cashback. There are a whole host of cashback sites out there offering consumers the opportunity to reclaim a percentage of their purchase price.

Head to CashbackHolic to find out which retailers you can save with and which cashback site offers the best rate for a particular store.

Visit: CashbackHolic UK or CashbackHolic US

CLAIM YOUR TAX BACK

When exiting some countries you can claim any tax back that you have paid out in purchases within a certain period of flying. We waited until just before we left Australia to buy a laptop and claimed nearly $100 back when flying out to New Zealand.

BUY, INSTEAD OF RENTING

Wherever feasible avoid renting anything. Money spent on rent is dead money. It’s gone and you’ll never get it back. Money you invest in a purchase will more than likely result in a return from it’s sale.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MONEY

• Visit countries where your home currency goes further and the cost of living is low.
• Live like a local, avoid tourist trap areas for food and drinks and use public transport.
• Eat out at lunch instead of dinner. It can be up to 50% less expensive at the same restaurant.
• Check local online noticeboards and forums for advice and information on your destination. Getting the opinions of locals is so beneficial and can often save you a wasted journey to a over ratted attraction of a sneaky deal on a cheap eat.

We’re adding to these tips every time we spot a nugget of savvy travel advice so feel free to leave us your top tips in the comments box below.

Another fantastic post, my husband and I are SO impressed and inspired by your site and not to mention the gorgeous pictures!! Do you use a specific photo editing suite?

14 ways you can become a better traveler

Being an expert traveler isn't an exact science. The art of travel is multilayered, and being a savvy traveler can refer to being organized, knowledgable, experienced, eco-conscious and more.

While many TPG readers (and staffers) may be expert travelers by default, even the most seasoned road warriors have room for improvement. Something as simple as learning to be more patient, or considering how your travels impact the environment and locals, can help you become a veritable travel expert.

Best of all, travel can help you be a better person — you can have a positive impact on the places you visit and the people you meet on the road. Here are 14 ways you can be a better traveler.

Use Apps to Organize, Book and Plan Your Trips

Wasting paper is a thing of the past. Use apps instead so all your information is available in one place: on your mobile device (which should be backed up in case it gets lost or stolen). With access to accommodation and flight booking tools, maps, language translation programs, itineraries, currency and metric conversions, lounge information, photo storage, transportation apps and more, your travels will instantly become streamlined. Plus, your travel mates will be impressed that you've got such a solid handle on things. Check out this post for all the apps you need to download before your next holiday.

Plan in Advance for Better Rates

While you can occasionally score a last-minute deal, booking travel in advance gives you many gifts: typically, better rates, a vacation to look forward to and the peace of mind that everything is ready to go. This goes for airfare, lodging and even activities. There's no better feeling than heading to the airport knowing you're holiday is perfectly organized -- and that you got a great deal on it, too. If you aren't sure where to start, remember that you can set price alerts on Google flights that send you emails when prices drop. And here at TPG, we scour the internet for airfare deals so you don't have to.

Don't Let Your Points and Miles Expire

Keeping track of your points, miles and loyalty program balances may seem like work, but if you want to get (almost) free award tickets, than make the time. It's not very complicated, especially considering some programs even have miles that never expire, like Delta SkyMiles, and other programs have fairly lenient policies . British Airways, for example, gives you three years of inactivity before Avios expire, and you can keep them active by collecting, spending, sharing or purchasing the points currency. Set calendar alerts if you aren't traveling frequently to remind yourself to keep your balances active.

Never Hoard Your Points

Saving points and miles isn't like saving money. Frequent flyer miles and points can be devalued at any time -- sometimes without any notice at all. Or, airlines can go under, meaning you'll also lose any points you had with that program. While it's nice to have a small stockpile of points for an emergency trip or last-minute getaway, plan to use your points and get value from them while you're able. A solid plan of action can be to earn your points and miles with a goal in mind -- taking the whole family on summer holiday, or a far-flung safari honeymoon — or finally flying Emirates first class or Singapore suites . Once you have enough for your goal trip, cash in those points and enjoy.

Respect Local Customs

I'll never forget the burning shame I felt several years ago during a visit to Bangkok, when I inadvertently stretched my legs out in front of me when sitting down in a temple. The guard reprimanded me for pointing my feet toward Buddha, which is a sign of disrespect in Thai culture. With a little pre-trip research on visiting temples and Thai traditions, I would have known not to make that simple mistake. But at least my knees and shoulders were covered!

Still, lesson learned: When traveling abroad, take care to research local customs, traditions, rules and dress codes. Make friends with locals and take the time to learn about their culture. Ask questions and share stories. This will ensure you aren't offending locals, that you're respecting and learning about the culture of the country you're in and generally becoming a better, more conscientious traveler.

Research Scams to Travel Safer

Being a savvy traveler often means knowing a lot about the place you're visiting. Sometimes, that means understanding the cultural and societal norms of the destination you're visiting. But it's also important to be aware of possible safety issues or travel scams you might encounter in a give city or country. This will help you decide which areas to avoid and how to move around a city without being swindled or worse.

Be an Eco-Conscious Traveler

As the TPG staff is made up of frequent flyers, we know our carbon footprint may be larger than most. Perhaps yours is, too. But you can combat this by taking other measures, like staying at an eco-friendly hotel , giving your business to sustainable tour agencies and restaurants, and generally respecting the environment during your travels by leaving no trace .

Practice Patience and Smile Often

Being kind is free. So do it. Smile at stressed-out airport employees, grumpy flight attendants and frazzled hotel front desk agents. If you travel often, you know that means delays, long lines and plenty of general hassle. Your positivity will help you stay calm, and you never know: Your act of kindness and patience may come back to you in the form of an upgrade , or maybe just good karma. (But we'll accept either.)

Know the Rules

Before you travel, make sure to understand all and any rules and read the fine print of your ticket or fare class -- especially when flying a low-cost carrier. This will ensure you won't be caught off guard with an oversize carry on, having to pay to check in at the airport or enduring a long haul flight without a meal. The TPG guide to low-cost carriers may help if you're flying an airline like Ryanair, Jet2, easyJet or Wizz Air.

Pack Right and Light

When you're cutting it close by packing right before your fight and haphazardly stuffing outfits and full-size bottles toiletries in your suitcase, you tend to make mistakes and overpack. You're also very likely to start off your trip in a complete frenzy of stress and anxiety. So avoid showing up at your business meeting in mismatched socks, forgetting important items or ending up with an overweight carry-on (see above). Packing a few days in advance using a list, or even an app (my favorite is PackPoint) will ensure you have everything you need — but not too much — and time to run to the store for anything you don't have, like mini bottles of shampoo and conditioner.

Fight Jet Lag

Getting plenty of sleep before traveling, hydrating during the flight and syncing to a new time zone as quickly as possible are the best ways to combat the fatigue and insomnia commonly known as jet lag. While this is rarely entirely avoidable and affects everyone differently, getting light exposure during the day and eating proper meals at normal meal times, combined with the occasional short nap, will help you adapt to the new time zone as quickly as possible.

Pick Your Seat

Use a website like SeatGuru to check out the seat map of your aircraft. You'll be able to see if it's worth splurging for an exit row or to make sure you aren't selecting a seat without a window. You can read reviews of different seats and make sure you won't be stuck in a seat that doesn't recline or has reduced legroom.

Put Down Your Phone

Fully engaging will make your travels more meaningful. Once you've used your apps to navigate from Point A to Point B and snapped the necessary photos, live in the moment by putting your phone away and really immersing yourself in the place you're exploring. Be curious. Ask questions and take in the sights and sounds of a place. This is the true difference between being a tourist and a traveler.

Use Your Travel Photos

We're all guilty of snapping a bunch of shots and forgetting about them, so make it a point to keep your travel memories alive by doing something fun and memorable with all the pictures. Make a cool travel video or slideshow, get crazy with your Instagram feed, print out photos to frame them or put that photo on a geeky travel mug or calendar.

How to Spend One Day in Bergamo, Italy

September 26, 2017 lana @travelsavvygal comments 2 comments.

Imagine a raised plateau, like one of the mesas of the American southwest or Uluru (formerly Ayer’s Rock) in central Australia. Usually you’ll encounter a formation like this out in nature. But in northern Italy’s town of Bergamo, there is a large plateau with a UNESCO World Heritage old town perched at the top, surrounded by modern Bergamo, Italy. It is this division that makes Bergamo unique, split into the historical, raised Città Alta with its meandering pedestrian cobblestone walkways…

How to Spend One Day in Nassau, Bahamas

August 8, 2017 lana @travelsavvygal comments 0 comment.

The town of Nassau, Bahamas is probably best known for its famous hotels and luxury offerings in proximity to the cruise port. Like anywhere though, there is the veneer on display in immediate proximity of tourists, and the parts of the city locals typically frequent. I love to stroll around a new place and just get a feel for the area, the architecture, and do some people watching to see how locals interact. In Nassau it was striking how much…

Shopping isn’t exactly my thing, despite my years living in Milan, so you may be wondering exactly how I ended up at the Dubai Mall as my first stop in the UAE. Arriving from Oman, after a week-long (and very hospitable time) on a road trip with my sister, she was in charge of picking our first destinations. We had already lined up a trip for the next day, so it would be our time to explore Dubai together before…

I’m so glad that my friend Isabel and I planned for an extra day, which let us enjoy one of my favorite formats for 3-day weekend trips – a city day on each end with the middle day to spend outdoors or doing something…

Foodie Bucket List: How to Eat Like a Local in Belize

Belize is a bit of a melting pot, with its food representing many different influences, all delicious. The varied cuisine in Belize is no surprise, given that it is located at a crossroads between Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. There are also Mayan influences dating back thousands of years, seen in the many Belizean dishes based around corn tortillas and beans. Before visiting, I spent a bit of time researching and compiling a list of local dishes that are…

Even gazing up at the walled town from the bottom of the funicular when you arrive, Orvieto is distinctive and breathtaking, and doesn’t disappoint when you ascend to…

I often seek out regional specialties when I travel, as another dimension of getting a feel for a destination. Plus, the local fare is usually best close to the source. I had some preconceived notions about Venetian food – like seafood, of course – but the surprising part of my research when looking for what to eat in…

Where to Eat in Stavanger, Norway: Surprise Foodie Destination

By far, it was the city that excited me the most for its food and drink offerings. And as I ate and drank my way through, Stavanger, it delivered. It’s a pretty simple story, really. Stavanger was a small town through the 1960s when the oil boom hit,…

32 Travel Products That’ll Actually Help Save You Some Money During Your Next Trip (So You Can Actually Buy Those Souvenirs You Want)

If you have a beach vacation on the horizon, you need to stock up on sunscreen sticks to avoid paying the markup price at your destination.

BuzzFeed Staff

1. A stuffable travel luggage pillow  any budget-savvy traveler needs because you can roll up your clothes and turn them into a comfy travel pillow. No carry-ons allowed? No problem! 😎

Tube is a small business that created this problem-solving travel pillow. 

Promising review: "I bought this looking to both save space and gain comfort for those long airplane rides. I was pleasantly surprised that they worked so well and fit so much into them while not sacrificing baggage space. I could fit at least a full day's worth of clothes in it. Also works well if you have one of those backpacks with the attachment clip and loop system as you can use this as a strap to avoid purchasing another carry-on bag from airlines." — Victor Tolentino

Get it from Amazon for $34.95 .

2. A  compact umbrella  you should just keep in your go-to carry-on bag so you never forget to pack it. That way you'll never be forced to buy an umbrella from a random street vendor at a high markup when it inevitably starts to downpour during your trip. Plus, this inside-out design keeps the wet part inside when you close it, meaning you won't get water everywhere when you go inside.

Promising review : "This is the best travel umbrella I’ve ever owned! It’s very easy to open and close one-handed with the push button. It’s very sturdy and fits nicely in a carry-on or backpack." — C.J.

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+  (available in four sizes and 36 colors).

3. Or a  Hairbrella  small enough to fold up and keep in your bag because you never know what the weather is going to do when you're on vacation. One minute it's sunny and the next it's down pouring. The satin-lined hat will protect your hair against snow, humidity, wind, and anything else Mother Nature decides to send your way. 

Hairbrella is a Black-owned small business that has been creating fashionable hats that protect hair from all kinds of weather since 2016. 

Promising review : "I traveled to London last month with a raincoat that did not have a hood, and I wanted something that would protect my head/hair/blowout without lugging an umbrella. This definitely did the trick. Two of the three days were rainy (some quite heavy) and my hair stayed totally dry. It stows nicely, too. I'm still learning how to adjust it while it's on my head (easier to adjust first and then put it on). Also, when I do have it tightened/pulled to the right place, the loop/slack from where I adjusted it sort of sticks out and gets in my peripheral vision. I wish the adjustment/clasp was on less prominent. But, all in all, this is perfect for anyone who wants to keep their blowout fresh in the rain." — Miss Information

Get it from Amazon for $39 (available in 10 colors).

4. An  anti-blister balm  for when you're in a ~pinch~ and want to make sure that you don't get blisters from the only "comfortable" shoes you packed. No need to go out and buy a new pair of shoes when this will help protect your feet for the whole trip.

Promising review: "I purchased two of these for our one-week Disney World trip. I knew I’d be walking around A LOT, and my feet aren’t used to the many miles of walking a day in the hot and humid environment, so I didn’t want to be uncomfortable. I'm happy to say I put it on once in the morning, slipped on some socks and comfy shoes, and I didn’t get one blister or issue with my feet! I wish I knew about this a long time ago!" — Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $8.99  (also available as a bundle).

5. AirFly , a wireless transmitter that'll connect your  AirPods  (or any other wireless headphones) to the headphone jack on the flight so you can enjoy all the free entertainment without being forced to bring two sets of headphones or use the crappy ones they have the AUDACITY to charge for on some flights.

It also comes with a USB-C charging cable, travel pouch, keychain holder, quick-start guide, and a manual.

Twelve South  is a small business that has been creating innovative tech accessories since 2009. 

Promising review: "I love this gadget ... I fly a lot and this works on the majority of wide-body planes I’ve taken over the past six months. Just plug into one of the three-prong outlets (or single outlet in economy), and you can connect any Bluetooth device. Doesn’t always connect on the first try as I have several devices that my headphones are searching for, but if you turn off all other devices, it seems to connect right away. Once connected, it works for many hours. A few planes I’ve taken recently (Qatar Airways) have USB charge points so close to the headphone jack that you can even plug it in while it's working and never lose the charge. Highly recommend for travelers." — Joseph Britto

Get it from Amazon for  $34.99+  (available in four styles and in black and white).

6. A Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen stick  that's TSA-friendly so you can pack as much as you'll need for your week-long vacation and not deal with those liquid requirements. And when the beach towns double the price on sunscreen, you'll have your own stash ready to go to keep your protected.

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Elizabeth Lilly says:  "I first bought this for a weeklong Croatian vacation last year when I did carry-on, and as long as you are *thoroughly* reapplying, this stuff stays on pretty well. On a beach club afternoon, I did haphazardly reapply and missed a strip on one arm, but I tend to do that with spray-on or lotion sunscreen, too. Since then, I've packed this for any trip I've been on , including a two-day Disneyland trip where I toted this around in my bag and shared with friends. I sometimes carry it with me in my purse on my everyday adventures because I know it's so easy to apply. Also worth mentioning...I am about the palest lady you've ever seen and swear by daily application of sunscreen. But when on a beach trip, I'm constantly swimming in the water and sweating. So yeah, this stuff works."

"And if you're a bit hesitant about jumping on the solid sunscreen bandwagon, you can pack a stick of this, knowing you have enough sun protection to get you through to finding some spray-on or lotion SPF at your destination." 

Promising review: "Love this stuff!! My sensory sensitive kiddo love this. The sent is mild, it soaks into the skin well and provides great protection. Will buy over and over again!" — Vinny

Get it from Amazon for $9.88 .

7. Some laundry soap sheets to have on hand when you realize you've run out of clothes because you've decided to extend your trip even longer because there was no way you were going home without visiting the Eiffel Tower.

Promising review: "This came SO in handy during my vacation to Europe! I was making lots of different stops to places with different types of weather. With these laundry soap sheets I was able to wash my clothes in the sink — letting me pack just the right amount of clothes for all the different places I went." — Katie

Get it from Amazon for $10.85 .

8. A  16-piece travel toiletries set  filled with everything you need to bring your hair, skin, and makeup products with you. No need to go waste any money on the expensive travel-sized versions of your go-to products. This set will make it super easy to transfer the right amount to comply with those pesky TSA rules. 

The set comes with four bottles, two jars, two spray bottles, two scoopers (to help transfer creams), one funnel (to help transfer liquids), one cleaning brush, a page of labels, and a bag that everything fits in.  

Promising review: "This is essential for flying! I fly pretty often throughout the year and after having numerous leakage issues with regular plastic travel containers, decided to go the silicone route and am so glad I did. I love that this set includes different sizes of bottles and tools to help fill/empty them so reusing them is a breeze and there is no wasted product. The variety of colors is great so I can easily tell apart my toiletries, even without the included labels! Love this set and highly recommend it!" — Hennie S.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+  (available in four color combinations). 

9. A portable espresso maker because your morning cup o' Joe is just plain necessary, and this little gadget lets you use Nespresso pods to make your essential brew from anywhere on the map and not have to buy a coffee from a shop every single day.

Promising reviews: "The best thing for traveling ever!! I have to have espresso every morning and most small hotels and gas stations don't have espresso coffee so this is perfect! Easy to use. The cleaning takes 30 seconds; just rinse with water and let it dry." — Joanna Verdeja

"Save money when traveling! Love this! I travel often, and this thing  saves me a bundle from hitting up Starbucks or the hotel cafe ." — Thomas

Get it from Amazon for $54.90  (and here are some Nespresso pods to go with it).

10. An inflatable booster seat  perfect to use in cabs, Ubers, or any other mode of transportation you're going to take. It also comes with a seat-belt positioning clip to ensure your child is comfortable and safe. And it's collapses small enough to fit in a carry-on bag so you can avoid having to rent a booster seat during the whole trip.

It's recommended for kids ages 4–11 or 40–100 lbs.

Promising reviews:  "Bought it for a trip to Europe.  It saved us a lot of money because we didn’t have to rent a child seat in the car rental . It is comfortable for the kids and  lightweight to fit in the carry-on bag ." — Maria Ines Vera

"I had my doubts initially but decided to order this for a trip with our five-year-old. I’m so glad I did! It worked great and was super convenient. It collapses quickly and is light so I carried it in my carry-on bag and then was able to quickly inflate while waiting for our ride share. It positioned my child appropriately for the seat belt, and I was especially impressed with the shoulder strap positioning, which is not even a feature on many normal backless boosters. It was so helpful to not have to worry about ordering and waiting for a car with car seats/boosters." — LynnS

Get it from Amazon for $36.99  (available in black and pink chevron). 

11. A freezable snack box  designed with built-in cooling technology that you can fill with snacks that will stay cold all day long, so you don't have to spend ~$5,385 on snacks at the airport. Reviewers say this is not only great for storing snacks for littles, but also for people with food allergies, and even breastfeeding people who need to store milk while away from home. 

Promising review: "This is a must-have for travel! As someone with food allergies, I often travel with food. This was the perfect solution for how to keep items cold while traveling. The bag is quick to freeze and has plenty of space for snacks and food. It seems to keep cold for a full day flight and no issue taking thru TSA." — Sunshine_AW

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+  (available in 13 colors and prints).

12. A digital luggage scale  so you don't have to spend any time worrying that your bag is overweight at the airport and then trying to rearrange while your suitcase is open on the floor, for the whole airport to see. 😳 Maybe this is a very specific fear that I personally have, but owning this scale will ensure that you never have to pay an overweight baggage fee.

You can also switch between pound and kilogram measurements. 

Promising reviews:  "I cannot imagine how we would have managed a big international trip without this. It saved us so much stress and, I’m sure, surprise charges at the airport." — Potter Freak

"This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." — Robert

Get it from Amazon for $8.99  (available in four colors and also a two-pack).

13. A pack of LeakLocks Toiletry Skins  you can slide right over your toiletries to stop any spilling that might occur during the trip. Not only will you avoid cleaning up a mess in your luggage when you arrive, but you won't have to take a trip to replace your favorite products to get you through the whole trip.

Rinseroo is a small business creating problem-solving cleaning, travel, and pet products.

Promising reviews : "Although I wouldn’t say these are 100% leakproof, they do a pretty darn good job. As someone who has been traveling a lot internationally lately, these have saved me from having to buy new products whenever I am away from home. There are a few products that the item still are leaking from the top bought these sleeves help protect it from getting into the rest of my bag that’s why I still give it a 5-star review." — M&R's mommy

"I used these on my travel toiletries on a month-long road trip. On several occasions, the toiletry lids opened, but none of the product leaked out of the toiletry skins. I was even able to pour the leaked shampoo back into the bottle. I rinsed out the skin and placed it back on for the next leg of my journey. These are my new travel must-haves." — Tyson Mohr

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two colors and in an eight-pack). 

14. A compact tote bag designed to fold up into itself so you can store it in your bag without taking up too much space in your suitcase. Then when you get to your destination you can take it with you as you explore and have a place to stash all your purchases, especially now that some cities charge extra for a bag. 

Plus, it's made out of durable and water-resistant fabric. 

Promising review:  "I got the blush-colored bag. It is such a pretty neutral color. I packed it in my overnight bag to have an extra bag for shopping. It came in handy when I needed it! I put my water and a light sweater in there. Also, I put my shopping items in there instead of carrying extra store bags that leave a mark on my wrists . This little bag zips up compact and will always be a necessity when traveling anywhere! I highly recommend getting one!" — Nubia C.

Get it from Calpak for $35 (available in 14 colors and patterns). 

15. A skyline mini wallet emergency kit filled with so many practical items you may need throughout the trip (i.e. Tylenol, a hair tie, etc.) but that's small enough to fit in your carry-on bag (and then your purse), meaning you can keep it with you at all times and not have to find a local drug store when you get a headache.

Anne Cate  is a woman-owned small business based in Cleveland, Ohio that handmakes minimalist keepsakes with a skyline from more than 100 cities and colleges around the world!

The kit includes a hair tie, ChapStick, two floss pics, a sewing kit, bandages, emery board, two safety pins, two earring backs, a makeup wipe, two bobby pins, two mints, a deodorant wipe, a Shout wipe, a tampon, hand sanitizer, and Tylenol.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor  Danielle Healy says: "I, your resident forgetful person, bought the NYC skyline version of this at the start of COVID-19 to keep in my work tote. Unfortunately, I haven't touched my work tote in months because...*gestures at the world around*...but it's a really handy kit I know will save me a ton whenever I regularly leave the house again. Everything from Anne Cate is super high-quality. The wallet on its own is adorable and could be used for a million different things."

Get it from Anne Cate for $25 (available in different skylines).

16. The newest version of the Kindle Paperwhite  designed with a larger display, adjustable lighting options, a glare-free screen, weeks-long battery life, and (IMHO the best feature) it's waterproof! This may be your most-used item because you won't have to pay full price for a new book when you finish the page-turner on the plane.

Promising review:  "I’ve held onto physical books for a long time, but with a two-week vacation planned, I decided to splurge on the Kindle for my birthday gift. I have read 11 online books since I bought it, and my only regret is that I didn’t purchase it sooner. I love the quick downloads, library organizing, and the ability to have so many options in such a small device. I now carry my Kindle everywhere I go to pass the time in various places. The feature of book suggestions has also helped me find a few new fave authors. The biggest plus for me is how you can change the lighting at night to read in bed without a book light. Total game changer. Buy the Kindle — you will love it." — Erin P.

Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in three colors and with or without Kindle Unlimited ).

17. A set of  vacuum storage bags  if you're looking to  squeeeeze  as much into your bag as humanly possible. These bags can increase your storage space but up to 80%. It's especially great if you're traveling for a long time and don't want to deal with paying for a checked bag over and over again.

Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor  Jasmin Sandal  says: " I swear by these bad boys not only for general storage purposes but also if I know I'm going to be traveling for an extended period of time. Plus, the satisfaction is indeed guaranteed because when you see those chunky layers flatten into a pancake...it's just *chef's kiss*."

Promising review : "My wife and I just moved to Spain and have been traveling throughout Europe and these bags have saved us so much money. We have been flying with as few suitcases as possible and these bags let us pack twice as many clothes in each suitcase . We've been using them repeatedly for almost a year and none of them have torn, though one does slowly leak (takes about 48 hours to expand) so it might not be as good for long-term storage as short-term travel. Overall, I couldn't be happier!" — Anon

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six sizes as well as other multipacks).

18. A water-resistant cosmetic bag  perfect for anyone who simply *cannot* pack lightly. It's OK to admit. This bag is here to help keep ALLLLL the products you'll need during the trip. There's no such thing as overprepared when it comes to avoiding repurchasing something you already have at home. It has four compartments and a hook so you can hang it in the bathroom and not have to deal with unpacking and repacking everything. 

Promising reviews:  "I bought this bag specifically for when I travelled across the country with my two small children. One of whom is a medically complex child. I put ALL of my toiletries, ALL their toiletries, and ALL of my son's medications in this bag. Everything fit perfectly, and nothing was broken. The hanger is durable and carried lots of weight when it hanged on the back of the bathroom door. I bought the largest size, and it was 100% worth what I paid for. If you are traveling by yourself, I would recommend the smaller size. But if you are packing for others or just pack heavy, definitely buy the larger size. I absolutely loved it! And it was very compact in my suitcase. Very sturdy as I carried it. I HIGHLY recommend buying." — Hannah Funderburk

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors). 

19. An  eight-compartment pill organizer  you can fill with any kind of medication you might possibly need while you're away (that you won't have to buy). From Tums, to Tylenol, to Dramamine, you'll be prepared and ready. Reviewers confirm they can fit up to 10 pills in the small compartments.

Promising review: "These travel pill cases are totally worth it! We are always out and about traveling, and this case helps keep the travel pharmacy organized! No more clunky pill bottles. The pill case is very sturdy and has a clasp that stays tightly latched. The compartments on the inside are easy to open with plenty of storage for pills. I was able to fit about 10 larger pills into the smaller compartments. It’s nice to also have the larger compartments too. You can fit wrapped cough drops or other medications in those. Highly recommend!!" — Sydney Harsh

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $8.97 .

20. A stroller so lightweight and compact it can fit in the overhead bin on a plane. This means you don't have to wait around for it to be retrieved from storage after you deplane or even rent a stroller when you get to your destination.

It folds up so small that it was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2014 for the most compact stroller. It can hold kids who weigh up to 55 pounds and only weighs 9.5 pounds.

Promising review: " This is a must-have for all parents with toddlers , especially if you are going on a trip. We went to a place where they do not recommend a stroller because it’s too bulky and gets in your way. Well, using this was not a problem at all. People were amazed at how this thing works, and it’s really handy. Very easy to fold. Very light and not space-consuming in your trunk! Love it so much!" — Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $139.99+  (available in six styles and three colors).

21. A portable lock box you can secure around two beach chairs to stash your wallet and phone in as you head into the ocean to snorkel — no more worrying about someone grabbing your stuff when you're face-first in the water.

You can also use this in your room to keep valuables protected.

Promising review: "This is a must-have for vacations. We took it to Atlantis in the Bahamas. It worked perfectly. Held our phones, room keys, etc while we were out enjoying the beach or pool. Just looped it to beach chair or table. Highly recommended." — Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in six colors).

22. A  collapsible silicone water bottle  so you can stay hydrated but also not lose $7 for a plastic one once you get through security. Plus, it won't take up a lot of much room when it's not full!

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor  Elizabeth Lilly  says:  "I bought this water bottle before a 2.5-week trip to Vietnam (where you don't drink tap water) and Malaysia (where you do). I didn't want to bring one of my ride-or-die S'well bottles because it would take up extra room in my bag when I wouldn't be able to use it during the majority of the trip. This handy silicone bottle did just the trick! It's very easy to roll up and *stays* rolled up thanks to the just-stretchy-enough loop. Said loop was also very handy while walking through airports and just around sightseeing. The bottle is easy to clean and doesn't make my water taste weird. I'm now using it as my daily water bottle and feel confident it'll serve me well for a long time. Plus! With a collapsible water bottle it's easier to remember if you left water in it before you go through security."

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.99  (available in nine colors/styles).

23. A set of four mini and refillable fragrance atomizers  designed to hold more than 70 sprays of your favorite perfume, all without having to splurge on a travel sized size of your go-to scent. 

Promising reviews:  "It  saves money from having to buy a rollerball for travel of my favorite perfumes . Easy to use, but spraying it for the first time takes a minute." — C9

"These are  perfect for those expensive bottles you don't want to travel with ! Worked beautifully on my perfumes and husband's cologne for our Europe trip. Now I keep them in my purse for ease of use :)." — Jpot

Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.99 .

24. A travel pouch that attaches to your bra so you can keep the most important things closest to you (such as your money, credit cards, and a copy of your passport) without fear of some pickpocketing wizard breezing past you, barely touching you but somehow getting away with all the money you saved up for the trip.

Promising review: "This was a LIFESAVER while traveling. I kept my cards and cash in it and had no stress about thieves lifting my essentials while traveling heavily pickpocketed cities. I loved it so much, I actually continued to use it when I got home instead of carrying a purse! The top flap did start to unravel after about six months — but this was also after six months of everyday use." — Krista Hinz

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in three colors).

25. A USB-chargeable fan you'll be SO grateful you have on your next trip to Disney or any amusement park in the warmer months, especially when the cart rolls around with similar products that are three times the price.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga  says: "I picked up one of these bad boys for a recent trip to Walt Disney World and BOY was it worth every penny. It really does make a difference when you're walking around in the scalding hot sun. It also folds up so it isn't super bulky when not in use."

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in seven colors).

26. And a  stroller fan with bendable legs you can wrap around a stroller, car seat, or anything else to keep your kids cool, even if it's so hot they feel like they're "melting."

Promising review: " This fan was so perfect for our trip to Disney World! Powerful little fan! The heat was pretty much unbearable but this fan kept our littlest one cooled off. The LED light was perfect at night for seeing where we were walking. Make sure you bring a power bank though for extended use. It really saved us."— Kimmy

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors).

27. A 2-in-1  travel blanket and pillow  because you never really know if you're going to step on a sweltering or freezing airplane, but either way you'll be prepared with this. You can use it as a pillow if it's warm but unzip it and use it as a blanket if it's cold. Plus, it has a convenient handle pass-through that slips right on your suitcase to easily take it with you through the airport.

Promising review: " I bought this product before taking a six-hour flight, and it was a lifesaver. The pillow has a strap behind it to put it on your luggage so that it doesn't have to be carried. Very convenient when traveling. The blanket kept me warm on the plane and when the blanket is folded into the pillow it is also comfortable. Would definitely recommend." — Robynn

Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in six colors). 

28. A  set of packing cubes  once you use them, you'll wonder how you've lived this long without them in your life. They help keep your clothes organized and allow you to pack more in your carry-on, thus eliminating the need to pay for a checked bag.

This set comes with an extra large cube, large cube, medium cube, small cube, roomy shoe bag, and a laundry bag for dirty clothes!

Promising review: "I always heard of packing cubes but never tried them until recently. They are a game changer. They really help save space in a suitcase and they hold a lot. They are great for organizing everything too. My husband and I used one set for a week trip and we fit 10-12 outfits in them. I highly recommend them . " — Katya Ochoa

Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $16.99+  (available in 12 colors).

29. Or a  set of compression packing cubes  perfect for anyone who tends to overpack (🙋‍♀️) yet refuses to pay for a checked bag. It condenses the clothes down by removing the extra air to take up less space in your luggage. Essentially, if you took a packing cube and a vacuum bag and meshed them together, you'd have this genius product. 

Promising review:  "I love these! They are a great substitute for a vacuum bag. I am a chronic over-packer and always have trouble fitting everything I need/want in my luggage. I was able to pack everything I needed for a four-day trip into a personal item, with space to spare, because of these bags . I would absolutely recommend these to anyone trying to save some space in their luggage!" — Amanda Bouton

"Carry-on, the only way to travel! And these packing cubes make it possible.  I went on a month-long trip to Europe during the winter months with just a carry-on using packing cubes.  I confess it was difficult since I consider myself a bit of a fashionista, and I’m a bit older, but it was so much easier just handling a small piece of luggage. So much easier in and out of airports and train stations, and travel in cars with three other women. Think of the money saved in luggage fees alone!" — Janet

Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in 29 colors and size options). 

30. A beach tent  that comes fully assembled — you can ~pop~ it open as soon as you arrive at the beach and have a shaded area to hang out in. The best part — it fold up to be about the size of a tote bag, which will easily fit in a suitcase so you don't have to rent an umbrella every single day during your vacation.

Promising review: " This was the best investment I made for our beach vacation with a 1-year-old! She was able to take her naps at normal time so we weren’t packing up to go back and forth. The extended floor was so nice to keep sand out and be able to sit and play with her. Holding onto it for the next trip, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling with a baby or toddler!" — Heather

Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in blue and green). 

31. A super soft multifunctional jersey scarf wrap  that packs up small and won't take up a lot of room in your luggage but will be very useful during the trip. You can wrap it around your shoulders when it gets cooler at night and avoid buying a pricy sweatshirt you'll never wear again or even use it as a blanket on the flight.

Promising review: "A flight attendant loaned me her wrap on an overnight flight as there were no blankets. I was amazed at how soft and warm it was. It’s so versatile and compact. I throw it in my handbag for a blanket at the movies. Easy to pack and use for travel. They make great gifts!" — Don Hammond

Get it from Amazon for  $46  (available in 9 colors). 

32. A helpful checklist so you can plan out everything you need to pack and not forget something important...such as underwear.

Honestly, that feeling haunts me no matter if I go somewhere for a weekend or a month.

Promising review: "I hate making lists trying to figure out what I need, and this is PERFECT for trying to figure that out. It has a lot more on the checklist than I would ever take on a trip, but it does accommodate for every kind a trip, from a simple vacation across state lines, to a business trip, to a wedding halfway around the world. I'm pretty pleased!" — Alyssa Kauffman

5 Habits of Savvy Travel Card Users

M any travelers use travel credit cards to pay for their travel expenses. These credit cards can provide rewards opportunities and valuable perks, many of which are travel-specific, like baggage delay insurance and complimentary airport lounge access. If you like to travel, you may benefit from one of these rewards credit cards. I'll share a few habits savvy travel credit card users have to help you get the most from your travel credit card. 

1. They only charge what they can afford to pay off 

Carrying a balance on your credit cards is never a good idea. If you don't pay your entire statement balance, you'll be charged credit card interest . Savvy travel rewards credit card users don't carry a balance on their cards. When using rewards credit cards, only charge what you can afford to pay off. Earning rewards is only worthwhile if you don't rack up debt. 

Featured offer: save money while you pay off debt with one of these top-rated balance transfer credit cards

2. They take advantage of travel transfer partners 

Some travel credit cards allow cardholders to redeem rewards by transferring their points or miles to select travel partners. Travelers can use their rewards to book hotel stays or award flights with hotel and airline partners. 

While this redemption method requires more effort, it's often a much better use of credit card rewards because it allows travelers to get more value from their points or miles. Before redeeming your travel rewards, consider what redemption method will provide the most value. 

3. They charge all travel expenses to their travel cards

Savvy travelers who love credit card rewards ensure they swipe the right credit card when booking travel reservations. If they have other rewards credit cards in their wallets, they choose the card that offers the most rewards. 

You can maximize your travel rewards by charging your travel purchases to your travel rewards credit cards. Here's an example: If you have a cash back credit card that offers 1.5% flat-rate rewards and a travel credit card that offers 3% back on travel purchases, it's wise to use your travel rewards card to pay for your travel expenses. 

4. They choose credit cards with perks they will use

There are some fantastic travel credit card options, but only some will suit your needs. When choosing which credit cards to get, savvy travelers focus on ones that offer benefits they will get value from. You should explore alternative options if a credit card offers perks you won't use and comes with a pricey annual fee. Review each card's benefits and features to ensure you're choosing one that will meet your needs as a traveler.  

5. They time out when to apply for a new travel credit card 

Many travel rewards credit cards offer generous welcome offers to new cardholders. If a credit card includes a welcome offer, and you qualify and meet the minimum spending requirements within the required timeline, you can walk away with a sizable extra stash of points or miles. 

Many travelers use multiple travel credit cards. But before applying for a new card, they consider upcoming purchases they will need to make and wait to apply until they can comfortably meet the minimum spend. This way, they're only charging purchases they intend to make to avoid credit card debt , and they don't miss out on a valuable welcome offer. 

Take care when using travel credit cards

When using travel credit cards, be strategic to get maximum value from the perks and rewards provided. Otherwise, you may miss out on benefits or make a low-value redemption. If you want to earn rewards for your next vacation, check out our list of the best travel credit cards . 

Alert: our top-rated cash back card now has 0% intro APR until 2025

This credit card is not just good – it’s so exceptional that our experts use it personally. It features a lengthy 0% intro APR period, a cash back rate of up to 5%, and all somehow for no annual fee!

Savvy Senior: 4 tips to keep older travelers healthy, safe

A dream vacation can turn into a real nightmare if you get ill or injured and aren’t prepared. Here are some travel tips for seniors.

Dear Savvy Senior: What tips can you offer retirees with health issues who are planning some trips? We’ve been looking forward to traveling again after staying home the past few years, but my husband has a heart condition and back problems that worry me. — Concerned Wife

Dear Concerned: A dream vacation can turn into a real nightmare if you get ill or injured and aren’t prepared. Before setting out, here are some tips to help ensure a safe and healthy trip for you and your husband.

Get prepared: Before you go, talk with your doctor about your travel itinerary and what precautions you need to take. You should also have your doctor’s contact information with you when you travel, as well as a list of the medications you’re taking in case you need emergency medical care.

It’s also a smart idea to locate health clinics or urgent care facilities near the areas you’re visiting. Your hotel can help you with this or a simple internet search can identify nearby health care services. If you’re traveling abroad, the U.S. consulate or embassy there (go to step.state.gov to enroll your trip) is a good place to get a referral. Or use the International Society of Travel Medicine’s directory at ISTM.org.

If you’re traveling outside the U.S., you also need to find out the health conditions of the country you’re visiting and what, if any, vaccinations or preventative medications are recommended. See CDC.gov/travel or call 800-232-4636 to get this information.

Check your insurance: If you have private health insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan through an HMO or PPO that covers in-network doctors only, check your plan to find out what’s covered if you need medical care when traveling outside your geographic area.

Beneficiaries that have original Medicare are covered everywhere in the U.S. But if you’re traveling abroad, you won’t be covered outside the U.S. and its territories except in rare circumstances, although some Medicare Advantage plans and some Medigap supplemental policies do provide limited coverage. Most private health plans don’t pay health care costs outside the U.S. either. Be sure to check.

Many retirees traveling abroad purchase travel insurance with medical coverage, which may cover expenses if you cancel the trip, need to be treated while traveling or need to be evacuated for medical care. Make sure the policy will also cover your pre-existing medical conditions. To shop and compare policies visit TravelInsurance.com, InsureMyTrip.com or SquareMouth.com.

Organize your medications: Make sure you have a supply of medications to last the entire trip.

If traveling by air, you need to pack your medicine in your carry-on bag, so if your checked luggage gets lost or misdirected you won’t be without. It’s best to keep your medications in their original containers to get through airport security without delays. It’s also a good idea to bring along a note from your doctor that explains why you take these medications, especially if syringes or other medical supplies are involved.

For airport security requirements visit TSA.gov — click on “Disabilities and Medical Conditions.” You can also call TSA Cares at 855-787-2227 with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint.

Maximize technology: Keep a list of your medications and other important health and medical information handy on your smartphone so you can easily access and share it with emergency health care providers when you’re traveling. Some good apps that can help with this are Backpack Health (BackpackHealth.com) and Capzule (Capzule.com).

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

If you’re a Social Security and Medicare recipient, you definitely need to contact federal agencies so there are no hiccups in your coverage.

If I do not apply for a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan, do I still have to pay the extra monthly amount?

What started in the late 1980s with caffeine- and vitamin-laced energy drinks such as Red Bull has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry.

The Food and Drug Administration gave Leqembi full approval last summer for patients with early stages of the disease. But sales have lagged.

A recent study suggests a strong connection between women’s happiness and their gut health.

Johnny Knoxville figures he’s had some sense knocked into him. Sixteen concussions — or was it 17? — will do that to an actor.

Toni, can you please explain how I can enroll in Medicare when I cannot open a “My Social Security” account?

Researchers have been discovering links between siblings and various health factors, including obesity and mental health.

Although following a healthy diet isn’t the only factor in helping reduce arthritis-induced symptoms, it definitely can help.

Famous since she was the Ivory Soap baby, Shields could write a book of life lessons. Instead, she’s forming a community.

Dear Savvy Senior,  

What tips can you offer retirees with health issues who are planning some trips? We’ve been looking forward to traveling again after staying home the past few years, but my husband has a heart condition and some back problems that worry me.   

— Concerned Wife  

Dear Concerned,  

A dream vacation can turn into a real nightmare if you get ill or injured while you’re away and aren’t prepared. Before setting out, here are some tips to help ensure a safe and healthy trip for you and your husband.  

Get prepared: Before you go, talk with your doctor about your travel itinerary and what precautions you need to take before traveling. You should also have your doctor’s contact information with you when you travel, as well as a list of the medications you’re taking in case you need emergency medical care while you’re away.  

It’s also a smart idea to locate health clinics or urgent care facilities near the areas you’re visiting. Your hotel can help you with this or a simple internet search can identify nearby health care services. If you’re traveling abroad, the U.S. consulate or embassy in the countries you’re visiting (go to step.state.gov to enroll your trip) is a good place to get a referral. Or use the International Society of Travel Medicine’s directory at ISTM.org.  

If you’re traveling outside the U.S., you also need to find out the health conditions of the country you’re visiting and what, if any, vaccinations and/or preventative medications are recommended. See CDC.gov/travel or call 800-232-4636 to get this information.   

Check your insurance: If you have private health insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan through an HMO or PPO that covers in-network doctors only, check your plan to find out what’s covered if you need medical care when traveling outside your geographic area.   

Beneficiaries that have original Medicare are covered everywhere in the U.S. But if you’re traveling abroad, you won’t be covered outside the U.S. and its territories except in rare circumstances, although some Medicare Advantage plans and some Medigap supplemental policies do provide limited coverage. Most private health plans don’t pay health care costs outside the U.S., either. Be sure to check.   

Many retirees traveling abroad purchase travel insurance with medical coverage, which may cover expenses if you cancel the trip, need to be treated while traveling or need to be evacuated for medical care. Make sure the policy will also cover your preexisting medical conditions. To shop and compare policies visit TravelInsurance.com, InsureMyTrip.com or SquareMouth.com.   

Organize your medications: Make sure you have a sufficient supply of medications to last the entire trip.   

If traveling by air, you need to pack your medicine in your carry-on bag, so if your checked luggage gets lost or misdirected you won’t be without it. It’s best to keep your medications in their original containers to get through airport security without delays. It’s also a good idea to bring along a note from your doctor that explains why you take these medications, especially if syringes or other medical supplies are involved.  

For airport security requirements visit TSA.gov – click on “Disabilities and Medical Conditions.” You can also call TSA Cares at 855-787-2227 prior to traveling with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint.  

Maximize technology: Keep a list of your medications and other important health and medical information handy on your smartphone so you can easily access and share it with emergency health care providers when you’re traveling. Some good apps that can help with this are Backpack Health (BackpackHealth.com) and Capzule (Capzule.com).
