allycaralgoa

Hello My Allys,

It’s a beautiful Tuesday and as promised continuing the the Series of Ultimate Travel Checklist which we began last week in #BeingallycaralTuesdaytips 👒 I am back here again to speak about the next phrase of the Checklist. This week, we will discuss about What are the things one needs to keep in mind – a week before your travel.

So Let’s get started :

  1. Get Your Travel Documents/ Hotel, Accommodation details – Make Sure you keep all Your Travel Documents – Passport, Flight/Train/ Bus Ticket ready and printed in a file. This will allow easy accessibility.
  2. Currency Exchange – If you are travelling outside your country then know about the currency of the place you will be heading and visit a Foreign Exchange Company and exchange currency as per the rates to have hard cash in your hand once you land on your travel destination.
  3. Pet Sitting & House Sitting – While you are enjoying your vacation, make sure everything back home is perfect and that you can only make sure in advance. So here is my previous post – a Checklist For Home Before You Travel which will help you.
  4. Load Money on Travel Card – Several times taking hard cash, may not be the ultimate solution as you cannot travel with a lot of hard cash. Banks have now introduced Travel Cards, all what you have to do is load money on the Travel Card and there it is, you can shop on the go by simply swiping your card at a shopping mall or a restaurant.
  5. Think About Devices You will Carry – Make a list of all possible electronic devices which you will carry. And check them for their condition, like if your device is travel ready, the equipment you are carrying is in proper working condition, right from the bag that you will be carrying it in to the  plug chargers you will be using. Make sure everything is in a ‘travel ready’ condition. If not, get it fixed before you travel.

If you have some more things to be added in the checklist of a week before you travel then go ahead comment below and suggest your point. With this here’s time to say bye! Another set of Checklist coming your way in the next article. Take Care!

Hi My Lovely Allys,

Welcome to another blog post of #BeingallycaralTuesdaytips 👒 I hope this week is treating you well. This Week I thought of providing a Series of Ultimate Travel Checklist which will includes a series of articles which will be spread over a couple of week to provide you the perfect guide before your next trip.

To begin this week, Let’s start with the What are the things one should keep in mind while booking your trip:

  1. Validity of Passport – Check Your Passport date for validity, ensure that the expiry of the passport is no where close to your travel holiday dates. In case, it is renew the same immediately avoid waiting for last minutes especially when you plan to travel for a long holiday.
  2. Matching of Names – Matching of Names is important, the name on your Passport needs to match with the name on your ticket booked, Several times this creates a lot of confusion at the airport with the officials. So while booking tickets, book it on the name mentioned on your passport.
  3. Know the Weather – This may sound like a general advisory but this is very important especially when do the packing. Knowing the weather helps a lot while packing for example, if you get to know that the place will experience a rainfall, you can pack accordingly carry an umbrella and rainy sandals, if it is the other way round that it will snow then you can pack your winter clothes to keep you warm and safe from the snow.
  4. Get Yourself Vaccinated – This is optional but several times this is very important, vaccination or medication helps to keep your immune system strong and also several times protects you from any viral or sickness.
  5. Keep Yourself Updated with Current Affairs – Read about the place you plan to visit, about the current happenings, see if any warnings or anything has been issued. It’s always better to be aware about such things then going to the place and then regretting.

If you have some travel checklist which needs to be kept in mind before you plan your travel, Comment below. Until next time,Take Care!

Hello My Allys

It is Tuesday again and here we are marching in full speed towards women’s day which is celebrated throughout the world on the 8th of March. This is a day dedicated to women and empowering them to make sure that they are no less than anyone in this world. This Year, the theme for the day is “Equality for Women, Progress for All.” And so I decided I should evolve this week’s tips around woman and what could help them on their travel journey.

Travelling alone can be a daunting and terrifying task but if you are up for the challenge, accomplishing it will make you even more happy and more confident about your self.

As Exciting as it may sound, it will not always be so you need to get the following things tick marked before you embark upon a solo travel journey.

  1. Research well about the destination you are heading to, places to visit, clothes one should wear in those place. Also, Learning the basics of the language helps a lot – May just Hello, Good Morning, Emergency, Please and so on.
  2. Remember as you are outside avoid drinking too much when you are alone. You need to handle your own self well, when you are alone. Also, when served a drink, always keep an eye on your drink may not be an alcoholic one but still, keep an eye on your glass.
  3. When You sense some danger, don’t afraid to create a scene. In such places, learning basic words definitely helps.
  4. Trust Everyone and No one – This is the golden rule that you should know and understand. It is but obvious when you travel you make a lot of new friends, that’s the exciting part, but you need to understand when to Open up about your thoughts with whom and where.
  5. If you visit crowded places – remember to take care of your belongings that includes the cash, credits cards, (If travelling internationally than your Passports) And don’t keep all your cash at one place.
  6. Optional but this would be add on for your safety carry a pepper spray in a bag or learn martial arts. Up to you what you want to choose between the two or maybe you could select both.

So this Women’s day, take that extra step that will make you feel empowered. If possible, take a day off and explore a place in your in own locality. (It may sound unrealistic as it’s a exactly in the mid of this week. No, worries weekend will definately come soon.

“Hum Tum Ek Kamare mein bandh ho aur chabi koh jaye” (Hindi Song)

Hello My Allys,

Hope You all are doing fantastic during the last days of February month. I’m sad that this month is ending because this month thought me several things while happy too as I looking forward #March Gracefully this March. On that note, a lil context of the hindi song about, (It meant You and I get Locked in a room and the key gets lost.) No no this week I will not lock you anywhere neither will I steal your key, but this week, I thought  of giving you #BeingAllycaralTuesdaytips  on What one needs to keep in mind while travelling on a long flight and Trust me it is no less than getting locked in a room.

So let’s get started:

1. Pack Your In- Flight Hand Bag Wisely.

The best way to enjoy a long flight depends on how smartly you pack your in- flight hand bag. This Bag, needs to include your travel toiletries like right from your toothbrush to travel size moisturizers. Also, extra pair of clothes is mandatory because long flights get tiring and these things keep you fresh.

2. Wear Comfortable clothes.

Wear something in which you are comfortable for ladies could be a pair of jeggings and loose tank tops or for guys loose comfy tshirts. Avoid something which is too tight and something that sticks to your body. Also, the same with shoes.

3. Drink A lot of Water

Long Flights often dehydrates a person which our body doesn’t get instantly accustomed to change in temperature. Drinking Water keeps you hydrated for entire flight.

4. Get Sleep.

Several People like to stay awake during long flights. Try to Avoid this, You need to get good sleep. So then you land on your holiday destination you be fresh and active.

5. Carry Required Entertainment Material Only.

Flights that carry Passengers for such a long distance travel have a wide range of in built entertainment at your finger click. Right from latest movies, Be it Bollywood, Hollywood or classic Television series You name it and the LCD before you provides you with it. However, if you are a Book Lover then you have limited option which you satisfy yourself only with the in flight magazine. So if you want to carry your favourite novel or book go ahead carry it.
