Before taking up beauty blogging I was all about travel & food ! I love to travel and explore new places, I am sure everyone loves it. I am glad that my life partner and I share this hobby. After travelling together numerous times there are couple of rules I follow. A good travel needs bit of planning so here I am sharing my ‘TOP 5′ Travel Tips –
Travel Light
I know it’s the most difficult part for us girls ! We need different outfits for different times, believe me travelling light always helps. Try to bring 1-2 pair of jeans and different t-shirts/ tops to wear if you are planning a week long trip. Remember you have pack-unpack-repack everything and it gets very tedious when you are carrying around too much luggage.
Take Travel Size Products
I store all my samples size skincare/makeup products in a separate box and they come handy when I am travelling. I know all the hotels provide toiletries but I prefer using my own skincare products. Travel size doesn’t occupy much space in the bag. Also don’t forget those wet facial wipes ! You wouldn’t want to walk around and click pictures in that drippy sweaty face.
Buy Some Snacks & Grab Some Water Bottles
This might sound cheap to some of you but I wouldn’t mind filling my bags with some snacks before entering those 4/5 star hotels simply because not all the time I am in a mood to pay 1000 Rs for a club sandwich. Also I carry water bottle since those ‘complimentary bottles’ get over before you could blink. And you are as it is incurring lots of expenses while travelling and buying souvenirs for you family & friends, those things will last you a life time club sandwiches wouldn’t so save here and spend there 🙂
Pack Those Sneakers
My husband loves walking and it gets torturous for me if I am not in comfortable pair of shoes! What’s the point of a trip when you don’t explore a place by walking on foot? Visiting those flea markets and eating street food? All that fun requires you to be walking comfortably, blisters aren’t fun! Ditch those heels and walk in comfortable footwear! It will save your feet from tan & dirt. You can always carry an extra pair to glam up as and when you want!
Don’t Forget Medicines
I always carry a small medicine pouch/bag with me that carry some general medicines for headaches, nausea, fever and allergies. No matter how much you love the entire day of exploring various nooks & corners of place, human body tends to get exhausted and once in such trips you can get a headache. I love trying out different cuisines & street foods and that is quite unforgiving sometimes, carrying necessary medicines makes sure that next day you will wake up with a fresher person.

Nice tips! One thing I always do is that I pack my makeup palettes, polishes and compact in those bubble wrappers. And none of my makeup has ever broken during travel!
