5 Smart Tips to Take Note for a Worthwhile Summer Vacation

Nothing beats the feeling of finally being granted with vacation leaves after working hard in the past months or maybe year(s), right? What’s even more good news is being able to enjoy the summer without being bothered by a bunch of paper works in the office. In order to make your summer vacation worthwhile, let us share you some travel tips just in case you want to spend a vacation outside the country, same as to those foreign people who would love to experience the summer in Singapore.

1. Look for a cheap flight

Peak season is equal to high ticket prices, so to avoid tearing your pocket with expensive plane tickets, take a lot of patience and be diligent enough to watch out for flights that are on sale or search for a trusted airline company offering cheap flights. Booking a flight several months before your desired vacation time can also help you save.

2. Fly to a bigger airport

One of the reasons why people travel is to see beautiful attractions and get to enjoy awesome things that you can’t have on usual days. However, we can’t deny the fact that there are some flights wherein the ticket prices are not friendly on the budget of some travelers. Though this is true, there is one great way to save more money while letting yourself enjoy a magnificent view ─ flying to a bigger airport, even if it is located a few hour drives away from your destination. This may sound absurd but this can actually help when it comes to saving some money. In case you don’t know, the bigger the city or airport, the cheaper the flights.

3. Get your travel protected with travel insurance

Since predicting what will happen before and/or during your travel seems to be impossible, getting travel insurance from a reliable company is the best way to secure your trip should there be unwanted events to take place, including:


  • Emergency medical expenses: Since there are some situations that can’t be covered with your health insurance, having travel insurance with policies that you may need on your trip can save you from the hassle and out-of-the-budget expenses. This includes getting ill, injured or wounded while you’re on a trip.
  • Dental emergencies: While this may sound ridiculous, having a tooth problem is enough to ruin what you think is a fun trip. Instead of going back to your place to have your dental issue treated; your travel insurance can make it covered.
  • Travel and luggage delay: In case a technical problem suddenly arises which lead to the delay or either your travel or luggage.
  • Baggage retrieval: Since having your baggage lost can take quite some time to be returned, your travel insurance can be of help in retrieving it faster than it should be.


Note: These are only some of the many advantages a traveler can enjoy with having travel insurance.

4. Make a checklist for the things you should pack

When it comes to traveling, packing seems to be quite challenging to most travelers, but here’s what you need to take in mind: never put all the stuff from your closet into your suitcase for you might not need all of them. That is why making a checklist is necessary. So, here are some of the things that deserve space in your luggage:


  • Clothes: Given the fact that you will be a local for a few couples of days at your destination, you definitely have to bring clothes. When it comes to clothing, remember to be wise in choosing the clothes, in case you can’t decide which you should pack in, it is recommended to go for comfortable and light ones. For example, cotton T-shirts that can be paired with comfy sneakers, skirts, and dresses.

Another smart tip to maximize the space in your luggage is to roll your clothes. (You’re welcome. *Wink*)

  • Sun Gear and/or Swimwear: Since you’re having a summer vacation, it is a must to include sun gear and/or swimwear to your must-haves! By sun gear, you will need to have a sunblock lotion with at least SPF30 in order to not regret having sunburn afterwards.
  • Water bottle: Traveling beckons to walking a lot, and when walking under the sweltering heat of the sun, having a bottle of water with you is essential. Though you may come across several stores selling coolers it is still better to carry one.
  • Antiperspirant: Of course you will take selfies and some Instagram-worthy photos during your trip. Let’s face it, traveling will never be complete without photo op. So to keep a glamour look in every photo, don’t forget to bring your antiperspirant with you!


5. Take advantage of your phones

In addition to taking photos of you and the beautiful scenery, your phone can also be useful to more important things too. You can put your phone to work taking pictures of essential documents you need when traveling, like a passport ─ just in case the original gets lost. You can also make take a photo of your bag, which can be extremely helpful should it go missing.
