allycaralgoa

Weekend Trip… As soon as the news breaks of a weekend trip, well you tend to plan all sorts of things, what it take, what not to take. What you will require, what you will not.! But hell, one of the biggest mistake atleast girls that is we do is that we tend to overpack like a lot of things, like seriously like a lot of things.

However, best ways to pack for the weekend trip would be to stick to basics and at the same time to look daunting!

Selecting the Right Bag – First of all, Chuck Suitcase out of this Trip! Remember, this is a weekend Trip, so select a small backup that will be able to carry your essentials in it!

What’s On Your Travel Itinerary? – Whenever you pack, consider the itinerary that will help you pack for the trip the best. Suppose you are going for an adventure trip like that of trekking, swimming, taking heels wouldn’t serve the purpose at all. So avoid taking them!

Selective Clothes Only – Try to take selecting clothes only. You could take a couple of shorts or troussers and the same could be mixed matched with the t-shirts, try to include bright colors in your wadrobe also whites and blacks look great!  But pack only clothes if you are going to wear them, be true to yourself.

Have a Final Look – Here you can take a final look and deduct unneccesary clothing, systematically packing clothes will help you to wear them directly without having to iron them again. Also, remember when you plan to go for trips like these, wear always the heaviest shoe rather than packing them. This saves the pain of carrying them on your back.

To end with, remember pack only essentials. If there is space in your bag pack, great! you could pick a souvenir for yourself and for me too!

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.

Checklist For Home Before You Travel

allycaralgoa

Hello Allys,

We are here on a Tuesday, and I am all set to give you tips that will help you plan your travel wisely. This week, I thought of giving tips about what things you need to keep in mind before you leave your home for a vacation or a trip.

Very simple as it sounds but definitely it is these simple things that usually slips out of our heads. But don’t worry, I have penned down a quick checklist about these things you need to keep in mind – a checklist for home before you travel.

To get started with first things first:

  1. Dispose the garbage from the bins.

Yes this is one of the most common things which are usually skipped, in the excitement of planning and packing for the trip. So it is of utmost important to dispose the garbage from your house. Several times what happens is, you have a wonderful vacation and when you return and open your main door, you get a stench of some bad odor. The same is of the garbage in your house which remained indoor because all the doors and windows were locked. (The feeling and the smell is seriously bleh…)  So do keep this thing in your mind.

  1. Finish Food Items

Yes, Food items need to be finished especially like vegetables, fruits to avoid the rotting of the same which indeed would add stench which in case you didn’t dispose the trash from house would.

  1. Pay Due Bills

Make sure you paid all your due bills. As I am sure, none of us would like it, when we return home from a vacation only to find there is no electricity nor water.

  1. Make arrangement of pets/plants

We love our pets and plants and it is very difficult to part away from them. But if we cannot take our pets on a vacation we need to make provision to see to that in our absence they are not hungry or in bad condition. So either you can ask your friend to take care of them or your neighbor by giving them all the required material like food items, keys of the place the pet would be in so that they too are happy while you vacay. Same thing with the plants, ask your friends or neighbor to water the plants or else in case you don’t have anyone around you can keep the plants in your bathroom and leave slightly the tap on and arrange the plants in such a way that they get water though it may be little by little they atleast will get something other than just being dry and gradually dying.

  1. Close/Lock Doors in Your Absence

It is essential to lock down doors and windows securely in your absence. As you wouldn’t want to have an unexpected guest over when you may be having a wonderful vacation elsewhere.

  1. Unplug electronic Items

Unplug your computer system, fridge; AC plugs from the sockets, as you never know what might happen, considering fluctuations in electric currents.

  1. Notify Familia and Friends

Most Important notify your close friends and family about the trip where you will be going and for how long.
