Travel Don’ts You Should Be Aware Of

Posted on February 17, 2017 by Editor Posted in Travel Plans .

 

Travelling is not perfect. There will come a time that you will make mistakes but the important thing here is you learned your lesson and make a conscious effort to stop committing it again. Sometimes these mistakes will financially blow you but you should never lose faith in travelling and everything it offers.

Whether you are a seasoned traveller or just new, you have to remember travel don’ts so you won’t end up getting thrashed by locals. Here are some travel don’ts that you should be aware:

  • Do not dress improperly: Coming from Singapore, you just wear whatever pleases you whether it is short shorts or scanty tank tops. However if you are going somewhere particularly in the Middle East or other parts with strict religious views, you have to be careful of what you wear. The next time you bare some cleavage, you have to think twice or you might get penalized. Research first before packing. Then about that jewellery, you do not want to catch the attention of robbers or thieves so leave it at home.

 

  • Do not eat near landmarks: If you want to save more, eat as far as tourist sports or landmarks because prices tend to get high there. Actually if you are patient enough, walk few more blocks and there you will see equally good foods but are cheaper.

  • Do not over pack: When you travel, you tend to be excited and get overwhelmed that is why you tend to overdo your packing. Guess what? There is a chance that you will only use half of it. You should seriously consider travelling light because it is for your own good at the end of the day. There are principles that you should remember whenever you are packing – leave your luxuries at home, do not bring your whole wardrobe and remember that you can buy anything you forgot.

 

  • Do not change money at airports: Some just change their money at airports thinking that they have the best rates in town. This is where you are wrong. You can either find a local money changer or if it cannot be helped, just small amount first.

 

  • Do not be afraid: It is normal to be afraid especially if you are alone but if you just let yourself be that way the whole duration of the trip, you will not have any moments of peace. You will not enjoy and that is how you will forfeit your journey.

5 Ways to Cure Jet Lag

Posted on November 20, 2016 by Editor Posted in Travel Plans .

 

Whether it’s for business or pleasure, long-haul travels outside Singapore can cause major jet lag. This can be really disruptive as you can feel sleepy during the day and terrible insomnia at night, which can cause poor concentration, hunger at inconvenient times and general irritability due to lack of sleep. While you cannot completely avoid jet lag, here are some tips to at least help you breeze through it.

  1. Opt for an Overnight Flight

You will have dinner and more likely go to sleep at your regular time if you take an overnight flight. An overnight flight will likely reach your destination either in the morning or afternoon, depending on the number of time zones you will have to cross and the number of hours of your travel. This is the closest replicate of your normal cycle that you can get, making it easier for your body to adapt with the new time zone.

  1. Avoid Coffee

Twelve hours prior your travel, avoid taking caffeine. If taking tea, be sure there’s no caffeine in it. While coffee can help you stay awake for longer hours, it will wake you up frequently once you fall asleep, thus reducing your sleep time.

  1. Sleep While On the Plane

Sleep as much as you can when travelling overnight as long-haul flights can be extremely draining. The more sleep and rest you get on the way, the more primed your body will be to deal with the stress caused by jet lag. For flight more than 12 hours—Singapore to US, for example—we suggest saving up for a first class flight, since it’s much easier to get enough sleep and rest when you have the luxury of space to stretch out.

  1. Check With Your Doctor About Melatonin

Research says that the body naturally uses melatonin to regulate the body clock. Because this hormone controls the body’s state when we wake up and go to sleep, many specialists suggest the non-prescription drug melatonin to ease jet lag. When travelling, take one to three milligrams of melatonin supplement, depending on your doctor’s advice, before bedtime for a few days after your arrival in your destination.

  1. Avoid Dozing Off when You Reach Your Destination

Unless you arrive at night time or close to your bedtime, do not doze off yet when you get to the hotel. Unless it’s normal for you to take naps in the middle of the day, you’re body will thank you for staying wide awake until bedtime. If you are extremely tired from the long flight, a 15-minute nap can easily become a four-hour sleep, which will likely disrupt your sleeping pattern later in the day.

Above all, the best tip here is to leave home with enough sleep and rest and give yourself a chance to enjoy the trip. The moment you step off the plane, have fun basking in the new environment and explore the new place you’re in.
