8 tips to plan your travel abroad

If you are planning to travel outside of your country for work, leisure time or adventure, don’t forget to follow this suggestions that can help you avoid surprises.

Sometimes the best you can do is to choose a particular destination to be sure it suits you. You may find that is a beach destination, snowy, etc.

In any case, I wrote this article to talk about the things you can take note when you travel outside your country to help reduce the stress and increase your enjoyment of travel:

1. Check-in with your doctor and insurance carrier

You may want to check and make sure that you have all of the vaccinations you need with renewal. You have to ask to your medical insurance provider or doctor if your policy will apply overseas in case of an emergency. If it doesn’t then it’s probably going to have an extra coverage.

2. Have a copy of your passport or many

You don’t want to miss it but in case it gets stolen or lost you definitely have to make sure you can get back to your country. You can also leave a copy at home with someone you trust.3. Revise the monetary conversion

Check out which monetary conversion will be in your vacation country. Make sure you do your math before you travel to get a sense of where the conversion rate is at.

4. Have local cash

It is important to always have cash on hand and not every place takes credit cards. 5. Buy tickets now for places you know you want to visit or see.

If you buy in advance you will be able to skip lines, save time and find more deals. Booking online is the best way to plan your vacation. If you are looking for activities and tours around the world feel free to visit here.

6. Pack everything well and maybe you can bring an extra bag

Don’t be one of those travelers decked out in J’adore Paris apparel because the airline lost your luggage and you have nothing else to wear. Bring all your closet if you need to, but don’t miss that five sweaters you want to launch.

7. Check out the country extra fees

Some countries ask for paying a fee before entering the country. Check online which will be the amount you’ll be asked for. 8. Save on transportation

If you buy transportation at the airport it is almost sure it will cost you a lot. Some transportation companies higher their prices because their schedule and services. So if you want to save on airport transfers book now.

Planning A Sober Vacation When You’re On A Budget

Planning a vacation can be difficult, especially if you have family members and kids who will be coming with you. All the preparations, packing, and actual travelling can take a toll, but when you’re also in recovery at the same time, it can be overwhelming. Sober vacations require a lot more planning, patience, and creative thinking, so it’s important to sit down months beforehand and start working out the details.

When you’re on a budget, it’s imperative to think about the big details first. How will you be travelling? Where will you be staying? Who will be with you and what will they need? How long will your stay be? Work out the major parts of the trip before you start thinking about the small stuff.

Here are a few of the best ways you can plan for a sober vacation.

Do some research

No matter what part of the world you’ll be travelling to, it’s important to sit down and do some research on the area first. If you’re looking specifically for a sober retreat that will help you work on your recovery, check to see what your options are and whether they will assist you with a payment plan.

If you’re just looking for a getaway with your family, you might want to stay away from all-inclusive resorts and cruises, which hinge on free drinks and food. Hotels usually offer a bar, so it might be in your best interest to book a cabin, condo, or home on AirBnb instead. In fact, the sharing economy is a great way to explore your vacation spot on a budget, as you can take advantage of Lyft services instead of renting a car, and you can even start saving extra cash for the trip now by looking for jobs in that sector. The great thing about the sharing economy is that you can set your own hours and stick to your own neighborhood if you want; dog walking is a wonderful way to earn extra money and stay close to home.

Fill your days

It’s important to think about what your days will be like on vacation. If you’re planning a trip to California, for instance, you might be faced with lots of vineyards offering tours and samples. For many individuals, vacations revolve around relaxing with food and drinks, so think of the best places you could visit that will keep your mind and body busy. Some of the best–and less expensive options–include national parks and museums. Plan for activities that will allow you to have fun in a healthy way, and try not to have too much downtime. Boredom and stress are two of the biggest factors involved in relapses.

Try to stay patient

With that said, try to remember that your vacation is about having fun and relaxing a bit. It can be stressful to travel with family, so try to plan for any contingency and keep everyone happy. If you’ll have kids along, pack a bag filled with games, art supplies, e-readers and tablets, and snacks and think of some fun travel games you can play in the car or on the plane.

If you’ll be staying somewhere that has a kitchen area, go grocery shopping when you arrive and stock up on some easy meal and breakfast items; this will not only save you from having to go out to eat–and face the temptation of a bar or extensive drinks menu–it will also save you quite a bit of money.

Stay in touch

It might be tempting to make this vacation a time to unplug and get away from the pressures of daily life, but it’s important not to lose a connection with your sponsor or support group. Let them know where you’ll be and make plans to have someone ready to take your call should you need to talk.

It takes a lot of time and effort to plan a vacation, especially when you are preparing for a lengthy trip to an unfamiliar destination. Stress and anxiety can make it harder to stay sober, so do your best to cut those from the equation and have a good time.

Visiting Cancun on a Budget

Cancun may seem like is not most people idea of a budget destination. But it is, even if you are not blowing your cash on a resort, you could easily spend up a fortune in tours or restaurants. But you don’t necessarily have to stay in the 5 star hotel, to enjoy a trip to Cancun. Playa del Carmen is still doable if you are on a budget. I spend last month in Playa so had to maximize the fun without spending too much. So here are my top tips for saving money in Cancun on everything from entertainment and transport to food and nightlife. Things to see and do
You can easily have fun in Cancun by going to the beach – snorkel in the coral reefs, the underwater museum close to Isla Mujeres, walk across the hotels avenue, visit the Mayan museum of Cancun, do some sport activities such as biking, running or skating and meet the unique shopping malls. There are many attractions inside Plaza La Isla Shopping mall, like swimming with dolphins or the Cancun Wax Museum. Cancun also has many casinos, all of them are free to enter and you just pay 5-50¢ per game.
If you plan to do a lot of the paid activities, it might be worth investing in a package. Tulum & Xel-Ha includes everything, the visit to Tulum where you can see the only archaeological site overlooking the Caribbean Sea, enjoy the amazing beaches and take advantage of the water park of Xel-Ha, where you will spend a day of adventure enjoying natural, ecological and aquatic attractions. You will explore inlets, coves, underground rivers called cenotes, mangroves and sail along the lazy river on inner tubes. Simply a paradise for those who enjoy snorkeling and diving in unique natural spots. Cancun Mayan Jungle + Tulum is another great package where you explore Tulum, visit the cenotes and zip line over the jungle.

Entertainment
Cancun is famous for its nightlife, whether that’s going to Coco Bongo of the incredible show of Cirque Du Soleil in Riviera Maya. Advance tickets can set you back hundreds of dollars, but you can buy them online. If you want to enjoy the completely atmosphere of partying in Cancun you can take The Bongo Tour package, it will let you enjoy 3 of the best nightclubs in Cancun in one night, plus more than 6 hours with open bar.
If that’s still to pricey, the check out Daddy’O packages or Han located in the center of Cancun. Mostly locals enjoy this club. There is also Xoximilco in Riviera Maya where you enjoy the Mexican fiesta! This is a great choice to make new friends, celebrate an important event, or just be a part of this tradition of Mexico in its golden age.
When it comes to saving money on club entry, it’s easier if you’re a woman. You’ll often be handed discount flyers on the street or approached by club promoters who can get your name on the guest list.

Top city views
The city’s tallest point is the tower in the KM 4.5 of the hotel zone. For a more central viewpoint head up to Malecon Tajamar in the center of Cancun, you can see all the view of the hotels by the lagoon and on the other side the center of Cancun, taking a walk and watching the sunrise is great in here. The most popular viewpoint is El Mirador at km 19.5, there is an incredible view of the Caribbean sea!

Eating and Drinking
For cheaper dining head off Cancun center. You can find delicious Mexican food menus. If you are hungry you can enjoy one of the favorite restaurants for locals in Cancun.

Traveling around
Cancun Airport is surprisingly close to all the hotels of Cancun. The cheaper option is an airport shuttle which will drop you at your hotel. After that you can take the bus that moves around all the hotel zone for 1 dollar per person.
