When you’re on a City break where pickpockets may be an issue, take an anti theft bag and something to ‘tie’ your phone to your body so that it’s not easy to steal straight from your hands whilst taking photos etc.

Biggest barrier to a summer get away is simply making the decision to go .. it’s too easy to prevaricate.. even looking at travel sites makes it worse .. too many decisions .. just picking a destination and booking makes it happen!

My best hack for summer getaway is to travel to the less well known holiday destinations, it means that the costs are lower and there is less competition for beach space.

Be flexible and let's goooooooo🔥

Look into Middle East destinations. Summer is their low season so prices drop; kids go free; half board upgrades. Hot but awesome hotels and affordable.

Pack various adaptors, plugs, leads, chargers, batteries, banks all pre-charged, valid for overseas destination...

Look at the Middle East. Summer is low season so Dubai / Abu Dhabi become the same price as Canary Islands. Hot for sure but low prices, free kids, free half board and awesome hotels.

Pack lighter than you think. You really won’t wear all that.
23-07-2024 04:54 PM

Exchanging pounds into euros is so 2000’s - a fee-free foreign exchange debit card is the way to go, I.e Monzo, Chase etc - I always find their Mastercard exchange rate is pretty close to what you’d google.

Keep the little plastic shower caps that you get free from some hotels, they're great for protecting sandy/muddy shoe soles from your clean suitcase (whilst keeping the footholes open at the top to stuff in your socks!) 😉
