Traveling with friends can be a tad bit tricking and many times when the trip ends so does the friendships.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Here are a few questions to ask yourself to ensure your next trip with a friend is a success.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
-Do you share similar travel styles? When comparing travel styles you must determine if you'll be happy with residing in the same type of accommodations, engaging in the same activities, and even consider if you all have the same idea around vacationing together. If you are all about exploring the city and your travel partner is more on the I want to sleep and lounge around the pool, it's best for you to know before in order to make an informed decision on whether you desire to travel with that person (s) or not.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Can they pull their own weight? Money is always a big deal when it comes to traveling. No one wants to be on a trip and be expected to foot the entire bill. Before vacationing with friends, qualify if all parties have an adequate amount of money that will compliment the kind of experience you all agree to have. Even go as far as considering tipping practices as well. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Who will be responsible for the booking of reservations? There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into the curation of putting a trip together, and planning a trip with friends is no different. If you lack patience, not very thorough and detailed oriented as well as, don't commit to the planning of the trip.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Should everyone have a minimum amount of cash on them? The answer is always yes, as this is where things start to get murky. At no time should anyone within your party only have a debit or credit card as this form of currency isn't always accepted especially when utilizing different modes of transportation and shopping at local markets within a destination. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
What are some things you consider before traveling with friends?⁣⠀

Six reasons you should never stay in a hostel.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They're too affordable: One of the most obvious problems with hostels is that they are extremely inexpensive. Like who would dare on average pay as little as $25 to $50 dollars per night versus paying $169 at a traditional hotel. Additionally, they have the nerve to even offer free unlimited wifi, free activities, and breakfast for free or at little cost.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You will make new friends: If meeting new people isn't your jam, then you will most definitely not like staying at a hostel. In many hostels, you are for sure to connect with travelers from all around the globe. You may even create lifelong friendships.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Security on lock: Feeling too safe has never been a thing until you've stayed in a hostel. Safety in a hostel means you are constantly surrounded by staff members, tourists, security, and surveillance cameras. Not to mention, at hostels such as @wombatshostels, a room key card is needed in order to enter every door throughout the hostel. With the exception of other guest rooms.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You just might be inspired to cook your own food: Who wants to prepare their own meals while on vacation? Well, every hostel has an open kitchen that allows their guests to prepare their own meals amongst each other. Breaking bread in a kitchen full of like minded individuals from all over the world is a perfect way to create an unexpected potluck. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
Free walking tours - Why would you want anything that is free when traveling? After all, nothing in life is truly free right?!? Well, unless it's a free walking tour. Oftentimes hostels provide complimentary walking tours that are led by knowledgeable local guides. These on foot tours vary between historical and cultural sites.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
You may not want to leave: Here's the thing. If you have a hard time letting go, the hostel life will never be a thing for you. You will meet tons of people who will quickly become family on day one. You will share a room with them, eat breakfast with them, explore the city and pub crawl with them. Hostels provide a community feel where you will dread the idea of departing.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣

Failing to notify your bank before traveling is a common error that even frequent travelers make. Informing your bank about when and where you're traveling can help them monitor your accounts for unusual activity. At many banks, you can create a travel plan online or by calling the number on the back of your credit or debit card. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
A travel plan will minimize the chance of your card being blocked when you make purchases. If you're traveling internationally, be sure to notate the international phone numbers for your bank and credit card providers.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Do you make it a point to schedule a travel plan prior to your travels?⁣⠀

Ever wonder how some travelers are able to capture those dope travel pics?⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Welp, it's a combination of things. But let's start with the main ingredient first. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Camera - You must have a great camera or at least a phone that produce high-quality photos. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Don't be fooled into thinking you have to spend thousands of dollars on a camera and or phone in order to achieve social media-worthy pictures. You can start off with a decent camera, such as the EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera. As far as a phone, the iPhone 11 Pro Max (512 GB) or the Samsung Galaxy S20.⠀
⁣⠀
Research Your Destination - Finding the right location is an essential part of taking great photos, which should be researched and identified way before arriving at your destination. That way you don't have to waste precious time searching for the best spots to capture photos.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Tell A Good Story - A great photo tells a story, while travel photography is the perfect way to bring your experience to life. For instance, the famous blowing dresses you see worn in Santorini, Greece photos are popular because it adds motion to a picture. Or perhaps, the photos that express laughter. It automatically gives you a sense of happiness within yourself.⁣⠀
•
•
Developing An Eye - It takes time to develop an eye for capturing great photos. Especially developing your style of how you wish to show up within the photos. Be patient with yourself and continuously practice and self correct along the way. You will become better in no time. •

One of the first places nearly all travelers arrive into a new country is the airport, and typically this is the first opportunity presented to a traveler to exchange currency. The airport exchange booths may be convenient, but they aren't always the best, as airport exchange kiosk are well aware of the need for local currency for those travelers who may be vacationing within their city. So, they are hyper proactive in charging an increased amount for the conversion of your funds for your convenience. ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
To avoid these increased currency exchange rates at airports, exchange your currency in advance from your local bank or by going to a bank or atm in the country in which you're visiting.⁣⠀

Traveling isn't as simple as selecting a destination, purchasing your airline ticket, and securing your accommodation. So how is it, that there are people who can make travel look as easy as 123? They arrive at a destination, take fierce photos at the most popular tourist spots, and onto the next destination without a hitch.⁣ These travelers have one thing in common, they all have an itinerary. ⠀
⁣⠀
Here are our top 3 reasons why a travel itinerary is just as important as choosing a destination and accommodations for your upcoming travels.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Own Your Time - Truth of the matter is when traveling it is impossible to see and experience everything within a destination. Travel itineraries ensure that you are able to maximize your time efficiently. Your travel itinerary must not only include attractions but also the time in which it would take you to reach them. To simplify things, it is best to identify attractions that are near each other and visit them on the same day.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Determine Your Budget - By having an itinerary you can estimate the cost of your travel beforehand. Being aware of how much you will need to spend makes it easier to develop a budget for your trip.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Trip Essentials - A thorough itinerary must include not only your excursions but also those necessary essentials you will need in order to be prepared for your travel experience. If you're traveling to multiple destinations, your itinerary should include what to bring, clothes to wear, emergency numbers such as hospitals, police station, embassy (if international), nearby grocery stores, pharmacy, and any other thing you feel that you may potentially need throughout your experience.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Do you create a travel itinerary for your travels? Why or why not?⁣⠀

When planning for a trip there are many things to consider and which travel currency you will utilize is one of them. We recommend three forms of travel currency while traveling. ⁣
⁣
Cash, Credit and Debit Card. ⁣
⁣
Cash - When purchasing foreign currency, cash is King, as you will avoid the additional fee that typically occurs when using a debit or credit card.  Large sums of cash should never be placed in one location. It should be placed throughout your luggage and in different pockets of your clothing. Once you arrive at the destination, you should leave the majority of your cash within the accommodations in a non-obvious place. If the accommodations have a safe, that is the most ideal place to keep it. Although we believe you should carry cash on you at all times, we personally feel cash is the riskiest form of currency to carry. When it's lost, all is gone. ⁣
⁣
Debit Card - One of the perks with debit cards is easy access to cash via an atm machine. If your card becomes lost or stolen, you can call right away and have your card suspended. If any suspicious activity has taken place on your account you have the ability to dispute it with your bank and eventually have them removed from your account. Be mindful, that if you use a debit card for car rentals and hotels, you may be subjected to funds being withheld from your bank account as a temporary deposit. In addition, debit card purchases may incur international and ATM fees when travelling abroad.  You must check with your bank to determine which fees you may be subjected to. ⁣
⁣
Credit Card -Travel credit cards are one of our faves to utilize when traveling. Many travel credit cards provide 3 points for every dollar spent on hotels, dining, airfare, car sharing services, and car rentals. These points can be redeemed for future travel or as cash.  ATM withdrawals can be made if needed. Certain cards such as the Chase Sapphire Reserve waives all international purchase fees. Like a debit card, in the event your credit card is lost or stolen, you are able to cancel it immediately and again dispute any fraudulent charges. ⁣
⁣
What forms of currency do you travel with?

Have you ever heard the saying, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have? ⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
Well for sure that applies to travel insurance as well, as it's never a matter of if you will need it, but more so when you'll need it.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
Below we've jotted down 3 reasons why travel insurance is a must.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
1. Protect Your Investment - Let's say you purchased an $8,000 once in a lifetime tour package to the Maldives. The day before your departure you take ill and you are no longer able to attend the trip at the instructions of your doctor. When you contact the tour company, they're sympathetic but you're not getting your money back, as their company policy states no refunds provided beyond 14 days of purchase.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
Examples as such are why travel insurance is non-negotiable. When you have travel insurance with cancellation benefits, you are eligible for full reimbursement for prepaid, nonrefundable trip cost when you must cancel for any covered reason.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
2. Terrorist Attack Occurs - You've been wanting to travel to Paris for years. A few weeks before your departure, terrorist randomly attacks popular tourist spots throughout Paris. International borders are closed and your direct flight to Paris is cancelled.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
Ensuring that terrorism coverage is included within your travel insurance package, you can cancel your trip without losing your investment.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
3. You Never Know When You Will Need A Doctor - You just landed in New Delhi, India and your lungs are suddenly engulfed with the thickness of pollution. After your first night in Delhi, you rise but there's no shine as you feel as if you're coming down with a sinus infection. You can barely get out of bed, instead, you phone the front desk and they send a doctor to your room right away.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
With travel medical coverage, you don't have to worry about paying a hefty bill, as you will be fully reimbursed provided you submit proper medical discharge papers to your travel insurance during claim submission.⠀⁣⁣
⠀⁣⁣
When selecting travel insurance, be sure you are aware of your coverage plan in its entirety and how it can best serve you in the event you have to activate a claim.⠀⁣⁣
