If you are a jet-setter, it’s assumed that you travel light for convenience, not unless you are on your way to a month-long vacation in Paris or somewhere in the Bahamas. Perhaps you would have to bring 2 sets of luggage containing your daily wardrobe and accessories plus a hand-carried pouch with your money, make-up and cellular phone in it. When travelling, it’s important to plan ahead for a secured flight, convenient accommodation and harmless escapades. You can consider the top 10 safe travel tips in this article for a more safety jet-setting experience.

First up, monitoring the general travel advisory and getting free information from online sets might be a smart start for you to know the latest updates regarding the destination you are heading to. Secondly, weather conditions must be known just before you board the ship or plane. It would help if you double-checked a travel insurance covering accident security in cases when buckling up in the sky wouldn’t do any difference in the middle of aerial crashing. You don’t think it’s possible to get under any harmful circumstance, yes, but it’s best to play safe and anticipate the worse. In top 10 safe travel tips, the fourth one is to make your travel itinerary registered on the worldwide web and be known to relatives close to you so that you can be reached in case of emergencies at your household and corporate compartment.

London is expensive, so how can you save money? Look for things to enjoy in London for free! Those ticket prices add up in a hurry when you have to pay admission.

Remember whenever it costs you 10 Pounds, that’s really about 14.00 US Dollars and 11 Euros — give or take — with today’s exchange rate…. And you’ll find plenty of admissions that are 10 or 15 Pounds and more. You will want to see the Tower of London… and you should, but the admission fee is 17 Pounds… that’s $25.00 or 20 Euros!

So what can you see in London for free? Lots of things. First of all think museums. Almost all of the museums in London are free. The British Museum, the Tate Britain, and the Tate Modern. Also the National Galley in Trafalgar Square. It’s full of old master’s paintings. Read the rest of this entry »

Definitely plan to take credit cards with you when you travel. Even when you travel abroad.

It’s a good idea to let your card company or bank know when and where you’ll be traveling. Identity theft is such a problem these days, that if your card company sees unusual spending patterns they may grow suspicious. They might block charges on your card to protect you from fraud… You know, like a lot of charges from London when you live in Des Moines. Notifying your card company isn’t required, but it’s a good idea to protect yourself and ensure that you can use your card on your trip.

Travel with only a couple of charge cards in addition to your ATM card. You don’t want to have a whole pocket full of cards at risk, but you do want to have more than one type of card. It’s a good idea because if something happens and one card can’t be used, you’ll have a backup. Read the rest of this entry »

bag packingThis is so dorky, but, um, I like Rick Steves. Yes, he comes off as a little earnest in his travel show, but his website is filled with great ideas. He’s a big advocate of traveling with only one bag, and that’s just what I’m doing next month. For two weeks, I’ll live out of this carry-on bag. A couple of versatile black dresses and a few grooming essentials should keep me in biz-a-ness. I’ve assembled some of my favorite travel-friendly tips, just in case you’re planning to get out of Dodge, too. Check them when you read more.

Don’t pack everything. I know it’s tempting to pack three lip glosses and acne cream and that restorative hair treatment and, and, and… but don’t. You will probably use only the basics, so why pack anything else? (In my case, the only makeup I pack is tinted lip balm, tinted moisturizer and concealer.) Read the rest of this entry »
