Scott and SadieWhat’s something you do to make traveling less stressful? Someone asked people on Reddit. Here are their best tips for a stress-free vacation.
1. Plan less. Try to go with the flow more.
2. Don’t cram a bunch of destinations into one trip. Focus on one really good spot instead.
3. Travel to smaller, less crowded places. Big cities are tourist traps.
4. Pay extra for direct flights. Layovers are bogus.
5. If you DO have a long layover, pay to access an airport lounge.
6. Capitalize on credit card points and miles. They can add up and get you access to things you might not be able to afford normally. (But only if you pay those cards off right away. Once the APR kicks in, it stops being worth it.)
7. Splurge on special experiences. Not everything is worth extra money, but once-in-a-lifetime experiences are.
8. If you’re over 30, never stay in a hostel. It seems like a fine idea until you have to share a bathroom with eight people.
9. Try a travel journal. It helps you remember things better, and it’s something else to look back on besides pictures.
10. Take an extra day off for when you get home. No one wants to go back to work right away. Give yourself a day to rest up.
