Scan and email yourself a copy of your I.D and passport and bookings with your Smarty powered device - save them so they can be accessed offline too in case of emergency rather than carry them everywhere! Safety first! Be SMART!

Where ever I go on holiday or a break, I don't read up on the place, I don't plan. The best way to discover a places beauty is to explore and naturally stumble upon hidden gems. Always stay off the tourist routes and find the authentic reality instead of a tourist attraction.

Get a Heat-It smartphone powered insect bite healer. You can't always prevent getting bitten by mosquitoes, but you can treat the itch with this. Each application works within a few seconds and lasts around 10-12 hours. I've used it for 3 holidays so far and it's worked wonders.
