Heading out on a trip to unwind and relax from days’ worth of stress? We’ve combined a document from years’ worth of experience in the industry of some of the most common reasons how people make blunders that turn their trip into a money-wasting and disappointing experience:
1. 10 Days But 31 Plans!
That’s hypothetical but what we mean to say is having an over-ambitious itinerary is often the start of something disastrous. Try incorporating flexibility into your trip. If your plans change due to the weather or someone being sick, accept it wholeheartedly and move on to the next step and don’t forget to give your body ample time to rest!
In addition, you want to double-check all your documents and bookings to steer clear on any last-minute stressors. Remember that it’s better to be safe than sorry, so if you’ve booked yourself a short layover that’s likely to result in you missing the fight, it’s better to reschedule for later.
2. Packing as You Would for a Shoot
Unless you’re going there to vlog, it’s recommended to only keep things you know you’re going to need and those that you’re actually going to use. Once you’ve packed, analyse the whole of the situation again to check whether or not you can afford to reduce the load just a tad bit further. If you’re going to shop at the destination, there’s no harm in dropping a few items.
Speaking of shoot, you must also back up your pictures regularly to save yourself from the pain of having your camera stolen or your mobile drive corrupted with a virus.
3. Running Out of Money Halfway
A budget is not a restriction but rather a necessity for knowing just how much you have at your disposal to spend. Running out of money is nothing but a consequence of failing to abide by the rules; not a pretty situation to be in a foreign land!
Try scheduling weekly transfers from your savings account to know how much you can afford to spend during the week. Make a realistic budget with breathing room for unexpected expenses that almost always show up. It’s also necessary to inform the bank that you’re travelling abroad to minimise the risk of getting your debit and credit cards cancelled due to unusual activity.
