Finding Facebook Groups To Plan Travel
Facebook has its issues however it can be a great resource when it comes to travel planning! We are currently or have in the past both made use of travel groups to help us figure out places to eat, what to see, information regarding travel passes and more from dedicated destination Facebook groups. It can take a bit of trial and error to find a group that is right for you and what you are looking to learn but when you do – it can be so useful as you plan your next trip. You might even end up visiting somewhere you hadn’t planned based on your newfound group! These groups…

Make Sure To Take Travel Photos Of Yourself

Or you traveled as a couple or with a friend and it looks like they traveled alone because there are no photos of you together?! Meggan shares how she makes photos a priority, because once you get home, photos and memories are all you have!

Why You Need A Travel Journal
How do you want to remember your travels? You may think just having photos is enough, but a travel journal can help you remember the details, the little moments, and how much fun you had! Jenn likes to write her travels down, Meggan likes to use video and short notes. Either way it’s fun to look back on your past travels!

Trying New Foods While Traveling
When we think of folks who really love to travel, we think of open mindedness. We are very aware that there are lots of food restrictions due to allergies or choices people make about what they will and won’t eat (vegan, vegetarian, etc) however travelling does introduce us to other cultures and ways of life and that includes food! Our tip this week is discussing branching out from what you normally eat and immerse yourself in a food experience. It doesn’t have to be every meal but if you haven’t eaten like a local at least, were you really there? Be adventurous for at least one meal on your travels…

How To Choose Clothing For Travel
We are all out of practice travelling and packing has always been a conundrum for some – I mean what do you pack for a longer trip with multiple weather scenarios? Jenn talks about how she decides what to pack and she gets ready for her next big trip, what she is having trouble deciding between. Our advice is less pants than shirts and try to also book at least one accommodation, possibly in the middle of your trip, that has access to a washing machine! (although the sink will do in a pinch)

Booking Your Admissions In Advance
A lot has changed in the last two years and now that people are getting back out there in the world, you have to be prepared for the changes. When it comes to travel, one of the changes you can expect in some places is that entry requirements include a pre-purchased ticket! Due to some capacity concerns that still exist, please check in advance for the activities you wish to take part in so you don’t show up disappointed! Plus having your ticket booked in advance can also help you plan better around that activity!
