Know Before you Go...

Traveling alone can definitely be a bit intimidating, especially when it comes to using public transportation in a different country. But hey, I've got a solution for you! Have you heard of GetYourGuide? It's an awesome platform that offers thousands of activities for you to book. And the best part? They're super trustworthy! Just make sure to check out the reviews of the activities you pick to get a sense of the activity's legitimacy and if it's worth doing. Plus, the prices are usually way better than what you'll find with local tourism companies, so you won't have to worry about getting scammed.

Many of the activities on GetYourGuide include "Pick up and Drop off" services, which is perfect for solo travellers. It's a safe and convenient way to get to and from our hotels or residences. And if you need any assistance with bookings, travel times, or if the activity providers are running late, you can easily reach out to their customer support team via phone call, email, or even WhatsApp. They'll have your back!

When you're in a new place and not sure how to get around, it can be a bit overwhelming. Have you heard of Rome2Rio? It's a fantastic website that can help you figure out how to get from one place to another, no matter where you are in the world.

All you have to do is enter your destinations in the search bars, and Rome2Rio will show you all the available transportation options, including the duration of your journey. It even tells you where to buy tickets if you need to take a train or bus. Plus, it can help you find hotels in the area and even car rental services if you need them.

I actually used Rome2Rio myself when I was in Dubai and wanted to go to Jebel Jais in Ras Al-Khaimah. It was super accurate with the duration of the journey and gave me all the information I needed about buses, taxis, and their tickets.

I also used Rome2Rio to book my train ticket from Zurich to Interlaken. It showed me the best route to take and even recommended that I buy my ticket from Omio. It made everything so much easier! Give it a try, I'm sure it'll be a game-changer for your travels!

It's crucial to have all the necessary documentation and information before traveling to a new country. You can find all the details you need on government websites and other reliable sources online. They'll provide you with important information about entry requirements, safety concerns like terrorism or natural disasters, local rules and regulations, and any specific COVID-19 restrictions.

Here are a few websites that can help you gather more information:
- For travel advisories and safety information, you can check out the website of your country's foreign affairs department or the embassy of the country you plan to visit.
- To stay informed about COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines, you can visit the official website of the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- For general travel information and country-specific details, you can explore websites like Lonely Planet or TripAdvisor.

It's always better to be well-prepared and informed before embarking on your adventures.

I'm all about capturing and preserving memories through photographs and videos. It's amazing how technology has made it so much easier to edit and enhance our footage, especially with the help of AI. So, try buying a portable camera to capture the moment. I bought an Insta360 camera for these trips and being able to float it in the air and capture unique perspectives is incredible. I can imagine that waving it above your head might get you some curious looks, but hey, it's all worth it for those epic shots and videos! If you would like to check out the videos i've created check out my instagram.
