How?
As a trendy traveler, how should you go about plan-
ning and executing your next vacation? Pack light,
plan for transportation and lodging ahead, and don’t
plan any specific itinerary until you get there. Packing
light is quite the trend now, as more and more people
are taking advantage of smaller suitcases, and even
backpacks that they can keep on their person.
Of course, traveling with just a backpack isn’t always
the option, but the key here is just simply packing the
essentials. You will want to save money and time by
packing less, and doing more. Always have your lodg-
ing and transportation mapped out ahead of time. A
lot of travelers are their own travel agents, so it is up
to each individual to come up with where they will
stay, and how they will get there. Do your due dili-
gence when it comes to shopping around for the best
prices – this is why traveling in the off-season is the
best option!
When you arrive, the trendy thing to do is to dive head
first into the local community and find out personally
from people what the best places are to check out,
along with the where the best food, drinks, and enter-
tainment are. If you leave it up to the guides, that’s
okay, too. But stay on trend and get a little edgy – min-
gling with new people is the most exciting part!
Traveling while being eco-friendly is also an extremely
hot topic. As you are moving around from place to
place, you want to make sure that you are leaving the
tiniest carbon footprint possible. This means that if you
are taking a road trip and you have the opportunity to
carpool or take public transit to reach your destination,
then do it. If you can get by on foot or by renting a
bike – rather than a car – then choose that.
Traveling to a remote location, or planning an out-
doorsy trip? Definitely go for the eco-friendly method.
You will make more friends that way, and you will feel
better about your overall vacation, knowing that you
succeeded in spending very little money, and harming
the environment very little.
When it comes to traveling with the trends, we may
not always meet the standards. Some of us enjoy our
traditional vacations, and that’s okay! But, if you’re
looking for fun, new ways to get out in the world, then
these chic tips will definitely keep you in the loop.
