5 Tips for Making Travel Stress-free

We spend months planning our vacations, and you’d expect the months and weeks leading up to our flights to be exciting. Unfortunately, travel can often be more stressful than relaxing, and we sometimes end up needing a vacation from our vacation.

Here are 5 tips for making travel stress-free:

1)    Choose Airport Parking

While it may be tempting to leave the car at home, this means either convincing someone to drop you off and pick you up, or relying on public transport-a great way to end up missing your flight. Luckily you’ll find parking at Dublin airport, so you can simply check in your car, before checking in for your flight. Head to airparks.co.uk for more information.

2) Load your Smartphone with Travel Apps

Apps like Worldmate and Tripit are perfect for storing everything from flights to hotels and hostels, along with directions, addresses and notes. Simply forward your confirmation emails to these apps, and they’ll upload them into an easy-to-read format so you can see all of your trip details in one place.

Some of the most useful travel apps include Hostelworld, XE currency, What’sApp, Google Maps, Skype, and Google Translate.

3) Travel Carry-on

If you’re serious about having a stress-free trip, try to avoid checking baggage. Traveling carry on is easier than you think, and with a little organisation, you’ll be able to simply stroll off the plane and into a cab.

Buy some clear containers under 100ml, and transfer shampoo, conditioner and shower gel, and remember to choose clothes that you can mix and match for multiple outfits.

4) Purchase Travel Insurance

One of the best was to avoid stress while traveling is to purchase travel insurance. Things are bound to go wrong while you’re traveling, and simply knowing that your electronics and health are taken care of in the event of an emergency will take a load off your shoulders.

5) Keep Healthy

There’s nothing worse than getting sick while you’re on the trip of a lifetime. In the days and weeks leading up to your trip, make sure you take multivitamins, get enough exercise, and eat a healthy diet.

Research your destination so you can be sure you’ve been immunised for any local diseases, and ensure you stay hydrated and get enough sleep while you’re on the road.
