Unlock my phone for using my SMARTY data abroad and download the areas of googlemaps where I will be, so that I can navigate offline.  

Back up before you go.

Book early for best prices.

Always pack a small 4 gang extension cable and adapter to keep your phone and all your other esentials fully charged. 

Be creative with accommodations, that's is my best hack!

Pack smartly, use the suitcase to its fullest, e.g., rolling up t-shirts (instead of normal fold) and seal them with socks from either sides. It saves a lot of space and keeps things neat and organised.

Make sure you got roaming all setup and y just chill out and abuse the bar if all inclusive 👌🏻

Stargazing: Lie back, gaze up at the night sky, and identify constellations. Use a stargazing app to enhance your experience.

The best summer getaway is  just getting there once there you do absolutely nothing. You go with the flow if you want to go out go out if not chill relax unwind let the world go by without a care.

This is your time, do whatever makes you happy

Always have a travel insurance and roaming tariff plan

Always have a travel insurance and roaming mobile plan

Follow your nose. If you have no plans for the day just walk and the plans will find you. 

Download Google Maps offline. This way you can still use it without an Internet connection. 

Download Google Maps offline as, without an Internet connection, it won’t work. 

Keep toiletries, documents, wallet, phone charger (and appropriate plug adapter, or charged power bank) and change of clothes for 1 night in cabin bag if you're flying, in case your luggage gets misplaced by the airline.

House swapping through websites like HomeExchange. Staying in a local’s home can provide a more authentic experience.

Using websites like Skyscanner for flights

have digital copies of important documents and pack a power bank charger 

Take the slow road

Keep for phone with you at all times for that special picture, finding your way or just keeping in touch with the Smarty roaming scheme. 

Bring an extension charging brick to charge/use all of your devices. 

Plan your itinerary and check out opening times and best way to get there.  Don’t forget your phone/camera to capture your visit for happy holiday memories

I do like spontaneous trips just to have that feeling that I am leaving stress and  work behind! 

Mediterranean destinations is something I look up first. 

Plan as much as you can but be aware not all plans work out so go with the flow and make the most of opportunities. Have a great Summer Getaway!

pack a charger with a single plug and multiple USB ports. Saves you scrabbling round for sockets in hotel rooms and keeps the weight of your hand luggage down.

All I need at the moment is a break from my life problems and Work pressure. 

My love has always been and ever be Rome. I left my hart in there must go again and bring it home. 

You left a DEER in Rome? How did you get it through security and onto aa aircraft?

Keep your Shein bags and use them to pack your clothes into outfits for the kids, can also be used for shoes to save getting your clothes dirty 

 If going abroad remember things are and can be STOLEN !  Make copies of important documents, phone numbers, passport number and anything else you may need, remember your on holiday and have a nice time 🙂

Blah

🤣   👏👏👏👏

Take a photo of your passport so you have all the details for an emergency replacement if it's lost or stolen.

Not such a good idea though if your phone is lost or stolen-

Take clothes that you longer want or need, leave them there so you can refill your suitcase with new stuff.

Pack your trunks

Visit restaurants off of the main resort areas, to sample authentic food in the country you are visiting, as well as to save money . 

Just go for it. Try less popular places while they are more economical.

Less luggage, just bagback

Relax chill repeat
