Best Travel Hacks

Are you passionate about traveling abroad? You have been wanting to travel to a new country but have some doubts? We would like to share the best travel hacks in order to enhance your traveling experience.

Let's dive into it.

Google Translate

Language is not a barrier anymore with functional mobile apps. Definitely, everyone is working hard to do their best in Silicon Valley. Actually, if you don't know the local language, you may need translation apps.

You can always have a pre-search regarding the place you are going to be but it is good to be prepared for challenges. In other words, English is spoken widely but take it easy so, download google translate. Also, you should set up settings to use it offline so, you can communicate with local people in any circumstances. The clue is you need to download the language, in order to use Google Translate offline.

By the way, you may need Google Translate for even daily conversations. For example, you are in a local shop and want to buy a souvenir, but are struggling to ask for the price. So, just unlock your phone on and type it.

Don't Pay for Toilet

While you are walking and exploring around, you may need to go to the toilet. If you want to control your urine, you should avoid consuming too much water while you are traveling. If you have already drunk too much liquid, don't worry either. Today's world belongs to capitalism. That is the reason why many places allow only customers to use toilets.

Firstly, look for what is around and pick small coffee shops, restaurants, and so on. You can represent your tourist identity in a small business easier. Then, propose a request that you need to go to the toilet but you are not a customer. Since they see you don't speak the local language, they will let you in.

The second trick is valid only for fast food restaurants! I think almost everyone is aware of top fast food restaurants across the world such as Burger King, Mcdonald's, KFC... You don't need permission to go to the toilet in these places. However, many branches ask for a password which is given behind the bill for entrance to the toilet. Basically, they kindly force you to become a customer. Wait a couple of seconds in front of the toilet. Definitely, someone will go out so you can enter inside.

Did you know Starbucks announced that non-customers are allowed to use their bathrooms? Don't wait then. Bear in mind that Starbucks doesn't have many locations around Europe.

Paper Stuff

You never know what is gonna happen next. We are not your parents, but we like to warn you. We wish you a trip without the need for paper stuff. In other words, if you are traveling with some important papers, it is better to keep them with yourself.

In the beginning, you should scan your passport, send it to yourself via mail, and save it as a PDF. Also, you can save it as a screenshot. Moreover, if you have a visa for the country you are traveling in, it is better to print it out. You can be out of Wi-Fi or the internet. Some airports provide Wi-Fi for only local people. In addition, you can lose your mobile phone or it can be crashed because of an accident. We suggest that you need to scan and save important papers. On the other hand, since you don't know the rules of this country, you can be asked to show even your bus ticket.
