Do your research before you travel and save the places you want to visit in a guide in your maps app. Once you’re there on holiday it makes it really easy to find them with the hassle of a guidebook.

Put an alarm in your luggage that you can control by your phone and then when trying to find it on the carousel, make the alarm go off - bingo! Yours is the suitcase making noise 😁

Best hack for a summer getaway is to travel at night - its cheaper and gives you more "day" to enjoy whilst you are away 😊

Take advantage of the guided tours. Ours was free with the airport transfer company. Very valuable to learn the history behind the architecture

Don't book your flights on the same day you did your research. If the price of the flight you want has gone up since you first started searching, wait a couple of days and it will be cheaper again.

Always try and learn some of the language of the place you are travelling to. A little effort goes a long way, and locals appreciate the effort!!

If you go off track and get lost, then you realise your phone is very low on power,change your voicemail giving as much information as you can so when someone rings they will know where to look for you.

When you have decided where to go research the hotels and excursions used by posh travel agents like Abercrombie & Kent then book the same hotels through booking.com or kayak and buy the same excursions from local guides - all at a much better cost than the poshies pay!

Just Google [insert place here] wild swimming near me and enjoy having a good old splash. Unless you’re going to England in which case also Google illegal sewage dumping to double check.
cheers!

The only toiletries you need are a toothbrush & travel toothpaste (for airport layovers). Hotels provide for most needs and other niceties can be bought locally, saving precious weight & possible trip ups at security!

Pack a change of clothes in you hand luggage just in case and spread out everyone's clothes in all suitcases. That way if anything goes missing you all still have something.
