Let’s check that you are prepared for an unforgettable trip with these travel tips provided by your Vai Travel Team before you zip up your suitcase.

1. Know Before You Go
We are here to help you. Guidebooks may miss local favourites, hidden gems, cultural dos and don’ts, or other important information. Knowledge is power, and in this instance, it can enrich your travel experience.
Laura recommends researching the customs of the destination before you go. Your Vai Travel advisor can help you plan your trip.
Robin suggests taking the Hop On Hop Off Bus on your first day in a city to get an idea of what the city is like. You can then decide where you would like to spend time on your next trip or in the following days.
2. Pack Smart
Packing is all about less. Pack essentials and versatile items, but also leave room for souvenirs and memories. Light suitcases equal a lighter travel spirit!
Carol tells us to pack a good attitude, which takes up very little space in our suitcases. She also suggests packing humour and patience! Bring these, and you’ll have all you need to create the best memories.
3. Speak the Language
In any language, “Hello,” “Please,” and “Thank You” can go a long way. They are not only a great way to enrich your travel experience but also allow you to have heartwarming interactions with locals.
4. Safety First
Separate your original passport from a copy. This simple step can help you avoid stress and ensure peace of mind while exploring the wonders of our world.
5. Stay Charged
A dead battery could mean that you miss out on the perfect moment or even have trouble finding your way back to your accommodation. Bring a universal adapter and the necessary chargers for your gadgets.
