​Advantages of Travelling Solo

​Travelling solo, yeah! Call me selfish but once in a while, it is good to embark on a solo travel. Yes, it is! There are people everywhere; you work with them, live with them, hang out with them, virtually every other day of the week. Why not take a break? Why travel with them all the time? It may look daunting; especially for first-timers but it is soul reviving. You will get to learn a lot. And do not tell me of boredom. What is boredom? That you are travelling solo doesn’t mean you won’t meet people at your destination or on your way even. There is no boredom; in fact, you get to make more friends than you would if you were with a company. Trust me; there are many perks to travelling alone. You should try it out sometimes.
Let’s get to it already!

​How to Pack Your Life into a Carry-On

​

​A big-time traveler like I am knows that using a single carry-on bag or suitcase is best for travels. Why? There a lot of perks with using one carry-on bag in the stead of two or more bags.
 First is that it saves you the extra dollar you would spend to check multiple luggage.
Second, there is no lost-luggage scenario because you are with just a carry-on bag. It is easier to lose a suitcase when you are travelling with five than when you have just a carry-on bag on board.
Third, you do not have to waste much time waiting for your five bags to come out. Once you get hold of your carry-on bag, you are good to go.
Fourth, it is way less stressful dragging one carry-on bag than struggling with five of such bags.
Now, you are bought, leading us to the big question – How do I pack my life into a carry-on bag?
It might seem like a lot of hassle but it is not impossible. In fact, it is very much possible to pack 3 months of your life into a carry-on bag. Yes, you read right! Three months! But it all boils down to planning. Not just planning but a well-structured plan.
Here are some tips to help you pack your life into a single carry-on bag.

​How to do amazing photos and videos with a Go Pro
​
09.18.18

​The GoPro cameras are used to capture beautiful videos in high-speed action during sports adventures like snowboarding, climbing, traveling, water sports like surfing, scuba diving, kayaking races and more. Mold contact is a regular problem during filming. GoPro is equipped with a waterproof case, but it requires some attention and preparations to ensure better durability of your device while ensuring optimal video clarity at every moment. Spectacular video recordings of ski descents, colorful underwater dives, panoramic photos in the middle of a mountain climb... that's why the GoPro has become so popular. Well known for its videos, the small action camera is less for his photos and yet, to realize breathtaking images is within reach of all!

​Traveling With Children
10.04.18

Travelling with children is way different from traveling alone or travelling with your spouse. The entire process from preparation to the stay at your destination can be very daunting. Most parents usually have a hard time because they employ the same method they used while travelling alone or with colleagues. As a parent, it is important to prepare adequately while travelling with your kids. With adequate preparation, you will find out that the scary experience could actually be a memorable experience instead.
Before I share some useful tips that would help you have a stress-free travel with your children, it is important to consider some factors such as the age of your children, the destination you are traveling to, the number of days you would spend at your destination, the weather condition in the state or country you are visiting, how easily your child can adapt to the change in environment, etc.
