Bring back as many goodies that fit in your suitcase

Don't bring the kitchen sink

Always look for the last minute deals, grab a bargain! 

Having trouble posting. I had a long post about disabled travel. Essentially, be aware you are entitles to an extra bag and remember to get confirmation you've confirmed this with the airline by email to avoid as much issues as possible.

Vacuum pack your clothes to save space. Brilliant easy packing


 

A summer holiday

Always check the price of any holiday on your mobile before booking on your computer... I've saved £100s booking on my mobile Vs computer!

Hacked new sights and unlocked new insights 

Engage with the locals and embrace the culture

Book off-peak and travel light.

Do some genuine volunteering abroad and receive food and lodgings in exchange whilst you are helping to make a difference. 

sunnies to match every outfit!!

Put some socks and underwear in your hand luggage so you have some supplies in case your suitcase goes missing! Plus put a gps tag in your suitcase. 

Don’t forget your Passport!!!! 

pack light leave your cares behind with that extra pair of shoes you will never wear 

Try to travel off-peak just outside of July& August if you can. Significantly less crowds and way cheaper prices. 

Chat with the locals, embrace the culture

Email all important documents to yourself.  Do not just keep copies on your phone as it may be lost or stolen.

My hack for a good summer get away is to have a good plan and lots of sunscreen 

Air bnb and the euro tunnel!

Pack light. Wear suncream.

Bring the best people to share the best memories with

Stay fun, smile and safe

Learn a few basic words and phrases in the native language of the country you're travelling to - a little effort reaps big rewards 

Pack a foldable hat

Do your research before you go! 

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

Be flexible and creative save money and enjoy the sun

Hold your nerve and do a last minute getaway.  Lots of lovely places in the uk to take your family, pooch included!

If travelling as a couple put a change of clothes in your partner’s case. If one suitcase gets misplaced you have clean clothes till it arrives.

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.

You only need 1x travel adapter in you pack a 4 way UK extension lead 😉 No fighting over who charges their phone 1st!

Don’t pack away the winter wardrobe!! 

Get up in the morning to enjoy the beauty of the place where you are.

Make an itinerary beforehand so you can maximise your time while you’re there. Use TikTok to search for short video recommendations of places to visit to create the best itinerary!

It's all in the research and the planning. Plan your itinerary, including any stops, and your accommodation, research your visits and what there is to see, and also research where to eat! Above all don’t try and do to much and take time to relax and enjoy!

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

“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.”

It’s all in the research and planning! Plan your itinerary, including any stops, research your accommodation, places to visit and what to see, and work out the most suitable cafes/restaurants. Above all don’t try and do too much - take time to relax and enjoy!
