Use Google Maps to locate where you are going and then select 'attractions' to see what there is to do there. This can be either as part of your planning OR when you get there for an impromptu trip 😁

We always have a number of packed things we never empty and are always ready to go, so we never forget. Toiletries and an electrics bag with adapters and cables, for example.

I think for me it's just do SOMETHING. Anything. Don't sweat the planning so much you get overwhelmed and don't end up doing anything. Pick something and just do it.

Use any business card to put in your hotel room key card switch, this meaning you can go out and come back to an air conditioned cool room to relax in without having to leave a key card inside.

Use a simple business card to turn on your hotel lights and air conditioning, then when you leave the room, you'll come back to a beautifully cool room to relax in.

If you're thinking on going on a city break then look at wikipedia to see the list of the biggest cities in a chosen country and head down to one you've never heard of before and do some research online. You could find many real gems.

Buy postcards for yourself, say 1 per day. This is for two reasons: 1. a professional photographer is going to get a better shot of whatever iconic thing you have seen than you ever can, and 2. write on the postcards to journal what you've done each day so they're a reminder of your trip for future you.

Only take a carry on bag with items that mix and match with each other so you get maximum flexibility out of your clothing.

cargo jogging pants or shorts. Can't beat having extra pockets when travelling. Clipable phone holder to clip to the plane seat in front of you. Download lots of content for the flight. Two sets of wireless ear buds so you always have battery. Also, two phones.

Pack up a rucksack, put on earbuds, jump on a train and head north to Scotland. Enjoy some piece and quiet exploring and wild camping in the mountains of the highlands.

My hack is to go to one of the flight apps like Ryanair and look out for promotions then think of the destinations you'd really like to go to and reverse check which UK airports are on that route. So for example if you want to fly to Malaga put that in the app as your departure airport and note down which UK airports are available. Then reverse that and go through each in turn until you find the best price, keep doing that until you see one that suits your budget. Check regularly as prices can change from day to day, if you see a good price go for it don't wait for it to go up again!

Travel light, pack the essentials and a spare or two but leave the massive heavy suitcase at home as you rarely need or use all the stuff you packed just in case .. and if you do next extra it’s easy to rinse stuff out and dry overnight or just treat yourself to a few new odds and ends when you’re there.
