10 Travel Tips in 140 Characters or Less

One of my favorite things to do on twitter is ask people questions and use their answers to generate content :). So, I decided to ask a few our followers for some simple travel advice. They came back with some pretty useful stuff.

  1. Slow down. Act like you live there. By taking everything in and enjoying the amazing people, you won’t miss the best stuff  @traveltruly
  2. Purchase suitcases/packs that let you view all your packed contents at once, instead of unpacking it all @kerouac76
  3. If sleeping in a hammock in a buggy area, make sure you put a light sheet under you as well as on top @Sail_Fly_Jen
  4. Leave it at home if you only “might” need it. Chances are you won’t…but can always buy it there if you do @DavidCrandall
  5. Bring a power strip–handy at the airport where outlets are in short supply and acts as a charging station in the hotel @cindyRichards
  6. If you can’t wear easily removable shoes, don’t bother going through airport security during peak travel @cranberryblitz
  7. Keep some cash on you. Cash talks when nothing else will @Rylaan
  8. take a postcard picture of your hometown… great for making friends…Steve’s suggestion @Missttrue
  9. Bring an ipad @RichLazzara
  10. Whether you traveling by land, sea, or air, strive to give yourself plenty of ‘insurance’ time. Murphys law happens!@Kerouac76

    The postcard idea is great, I might try that on my next few trips. People always want to know where you’re from.

    Eurotrip Tips

    I love the first tip. This is actually my motto! I don’t do hundreds of museums or churches or must-see-sights-that-you-cannot-miss-at-all. I just like to sit at a cafe, watch people come and go and have a taste of the local pastry. That’s what travel is. You don’t need to see an old spoon or a piece of rock at the British Museum to say that you’ve been to England,
