Hello travelers of the world, today we'll talk about a couple of travelling hacks that worked for me and it might work for you. Hope this helps to make your trips a little more easier.

Well, we know that travelling might be stressful time to time. Don't worry and trust your instincts. Now let's start.


LUGGAGE TRAVELLİNG HACKS

Weigh Your Luggage

Before you leave for airport make sure you have a lighter luggage. Most of the times they don't care overweights up to 1 kilograms but you'll never know what is going to happen. It is always better not to exceed the weight limit because if they think it is too much, they'll charge you with an additional fee. Which is usually around 50-90 euros.


These numbers can show differences due to airline companys of course.


HOW TO WEIGH

You can buy a luggage scale, but if you don't have one and you don't want to pay for it you can always use normal scale. First weigh yourself, then get back on the scale while holding your luggage and calculate.


Packing your clothes can be a trouble sometimes. Rolling your clothes will save you some space. Also checking weather forecast and not overpacking can save you from the backpain. Lay the clothes on a flat surface, then grab part of the bottom of your dress and fold it inwards. Then roll until you can make a little cover with the cloth you folded inwards.

Vacuum Your Puffy Clothes
This is one of the best advice that I can give. Vacuuming your puffy cloth, duvet and pillow can save you some space. You can buy vacuum bags or you can just use a normal bag, tie it around your vacuum cleaner with a rubber.

Bring An Extra Bag

An extra bag really could come in handy; you can pack souvenirs, fruits, snackers, water or unexpected gifts for your daily trips. Also not everyplace has a washing machine. Or maybe you don't have the time to wash it. So it is better to bring an extra bag for your dirty clothes.


Bring A Pillowcase

Bring A Pillowcase

You might get a little unlucky with the place you booked. Sometimes, the pillowcases in hotels or hostels might not be as soft or comfortable as you prefer. Also pillowcase can be used for different purposes. Like we mentioned before maybe you can use a pillowcase as your laundary basket and seperate your dirty clothes.


Also using pillowcase as organizer, gonna save you from trouble, make things much easier. For example you can use to seperate your underwears, socks or shirts.

You'll never know what is going to happen to your passport or ID especially if you are not a carefull person. Things might get stolen or you might forget, and you can get in some trouble, so having your passport/ID photo in your phone can be a lifesaver.


Documents

Let's say that you need make a transfer through a different country, sometimes they might ask you about tickets. In that case you should have your online ticket on your phone. They might ask where you gonna stay. If you came for school, they might wanna see your acceptence letter and the list goes on...


Credit Cards

Make sure that your credit card works for international use. Some cards require action to use. Before traveling, inform your bank about your upcoming trip and the countries you plan to visit or else they see it as a suspicious spending. Don't forget that there is foreign transaction fees, currency conversion fees, and ATM withdrawal fees. Plan your trips according to these fees. Always keep an eye on your wallet.


Bad things can happen to anyone, you are there for to enjoy it. Appreciate the sights, sounds, and moments along the way. Good luck and stay safe.
