BE A SMART TRAVELLER #TravelHacks #FromOwnExperience

Most of us do a good homework before proceeding on a trip, how to go, where to stay, what to see and what to do. All prepared beforehand to have that memorable trip. But sometimes a few little unplanned things add to those memoirs. And you can do that too without going the extra mile. Just remember

1. Choose the right time
Settle for the best time not the peak time. Avoid holidays and weekends to get the best of any place. Overcrowded places are usually overpriced too. Sometimes off-season trips get great with so many complimentary offers.

2. Morning walks
Take those morning walks in the neighborhood to get a taste of the culture of any place and you might get lucky to stumble upon a cup of refreshing tea at a local tea stall or some sumptuous Poha, bun-omlette or piping hot idlis at a small breakfast joint.

3. Local conveyance
If possible take local conveyance to commute. Those rented private cabs do sound luxurious and comfortable but taking the local bus or metro gets you closer to the place. It's easy on the pocket too. You can even cover places in close proximity by walking.

4. The native cuisine
Relish upon the locally available and famous delicacies. Hop onto such famous joints and treat your palate. But remember! ensure the food is hygienic and do not eat too much or too late. You will never regret it.

5. Encourage the Art
Always try to buy the special artifacts, handlooms, handicrafts to encourage the art and recognise the local artists of that area. This way you also get the authentic ones at the best prices.

6. Pack light, right and tight!!!
Last but not the least pack the most required items, right for the weather and ofcourse comfortable. This lets you mobile all through the trip.

One may or may not find these useful but these are based on my own personal experience. Bon Voyage!!!
