Real books, not digital versions. More underpants than you think you need. Make no plans, be spontaneous, stay off the beaten track. For places to eat; ask a cab driver or the barista who makes your morning espresso.

Always book a trip or tour with a local guide and venture away from the main tourist area, there will be something interesting and beautiful to find that will make your holiday extra special.

“This is by far my favorite. It can cause a little tension, but once they take the restraints off, everyone has a **bleep** good chortle. I call it the ‘Mystery Meat’ Roll: Wrap all your toiletries in cling film, creating a giant, oddly satisfying, and potentially suspicious-looking package.”

Book early, make sure your passport is in date and get a smarty sim with roaming to stay connected whilst away

If travelling as a couple put a change of clothes in your partner’s case , so if one case is misplaced you have a change till it is returned.

buy a proper (at least 20,000mAh) battery pack and get one of those little multi-adapter dongle things - you'll never run out of juice and you may even make a friend
