Signs That You Are Great Traveler

Everyone loves to travel but your love for travel will not automatically make you a great traveler. Not because you are happy about it, it already means that you are great at it. If you wish to know if you are a great traveler or not, then you should look out for some telltale signs. These are as follows:

·         You always look at the bright side.

We all know that things will not always turn out the way you want to when traveling. Some would focus on the bad things that have happened but a great traveler knows that the only direction he should look at would be at the bright side. Even if you do not get things done your way, you know that there are still better things in store for you out there and you are excited about it. You embrace bad things the same way you embrace the great ones.

·         You take time to learn the local language.

Not all of us have the time to learn the language of the destination that they will be heading to but that doesn’t stop a great traveler from squeezing in some time to learn basic local phrases. This may not be too helpful but it will come handy during emergencies and it will also show the locals that you are interested in their tradition and culture.

·         You travel with a first aid kit.

If you are a great traveler, then you might already be aware of the fact that there is a good chance that you will encounter some health issues along the way and that is why you always travel with a first aid kit. You know that first aid kits do not have to be bulky. You can just opt for one that will fit your bag.

·         You do not dread getting lost.

You are not afraid to get lost because you know that good things happen when you least expect it. You find it challenging when you cannot find your way to your destination and you try to make the most out of the entire experience.

·         You travel with a water bottle that has filter.

You know that it is important to stay hydrated. More than that, you know that the drinking water in certain parts of the world are not always potable.

The only thing that differentiates a great traveler form the mediocre ones is that the former makes an effort to make every trip as memorable and fun as possible. If you exhibit all the signs that are mentioned above, then you are doing this traveling thing right. If not, then it is time for you to start traveling better!

How You Can Make Flying Better For Everyone

We cannot deny the fact that flying is an experience that is full of hassles. You will have to wait for longs hours at the airport and you also have to sit inside a metal tube like thing with cramped space and high altitude for many hours. Since there are already too many complications involved in traveling, you may wish to make the flying experience a lot better by doing the following:

·         Do things for yourself.

Many passengers think that they can ask for everything from the flight attendants. They will ask them to get this and that, do this and that and this can get annoying at times. If you wish to make the experience a whole lot better for the flight attendants and for the other passengers who need their assistance more than you, it is recommended that you take some actions of your own. Do the things that you can and just ask for their help for things that you cannot do.

·         Talk with the flight attendants.

The job of flight attendants is not an easy one, even if looks so. Because of this, it is recommended that you take some time to unburden some of their load by striking a conversation with them. Familiarize yourself with their lingo and bust a few terms when talking to them. This will surely surprise them and make them laugh,

·         Bring small gifts for your fellow passengers.

Being in a long flight is the perfect time for you to connect with other travelers. Do not ever leave the plane without befriending some of your fellow passengers and the best way to do that is by bringing small gifts for the people you will be sitting behind with.

·         Do not be a drama queen during delays.

No one wants delays and it can certainly be a stressful event for everyone. With that in mind, it is recommended that you avoid making the event more stressful by avoiding throwing a fit. Instead of going all ballistic, it is recommended that you focus your time and energy in trying to find ways to kill time.

·         Bring the right food.

Nobody wishes to take a whiff of smelly foods inside the plane and that is why you should be strategic with your snacking. Avoid bringing tuna, chili, clam chowder, yogurt, egg salad, onion rings, hot dogs and seafoods inside the plane.

It may seem like flying will never be easy but it can be and you have the power to change it. If you wish to become a more responsible traveler, then you should exert extra effort in making flying as better as possible for everyone, including the flight attendants.

How To Care For Your Skin While on A Plane

After all the planning and the researching, you are finally off to your dream destination. Before you go, you have to first figure out what beauty items you should pack. Keep in mind that traveling via air may not give your skin the temperature and condition that it will need to thrive. With that in mind, here are some of the amazing tips that you can use:

·         Go bare faced.

Never ever take off with a fully made face. If you wish to reach your destination looking fresh, we recommend that you head to the airport bare faced. You can just simply wash your face before boarding. When you fly without makeup, you can let your skin breathe and it can be able to absorb the nutrients that it needs during the flight. If you do not like the idea of flying too bare faced, you can opt to apply light concealer and a swipe of lipstick so you can add color to your face.

·         Bring coconut oil in your carry on.

Why would you need a coconut oil for your flight, you may ask? Well, this item offers multiple benefits to our skin. Coconut oil is quite amazing and it can be used as a natural cleanser, a moisturizer and even as an antimicrobial agent for the skin. In addition to that, it can also be used in removing makeup. You just have to simply pour some into a cotton ball then apply it to your face in a circular motion and voila! It has already removed makeup from your face. This works even with the most stubborn makeup products! You do not have to wash it off as it can nourish your skin once it is absorbed. The best thing about this item is that it gets solid when in room temperature so you will not have any problem passing it through security.

·         Avoid the red eye.

Have you noticed that you usually come out of the plane with red eyes? That is because of the restless hours inside the plane. To avoid this, it is recommended that you use a sheet mask to refresh your skin. You can also opt to use eye drops so you can refresh your tired eyes.

Traveling via air may be the most convenient way to travel the world but it is also the most harmful to your skin. Lucky for you, there are many ways on how you can care for your skin during an airline travel. If you wish to still look good after a long flight, we recommend that you follow the tips that we have mentioned above.
