Travel Tips from StrippedSteph

Since it travel quite abit, i thought i'd list down some tips so that you wont be as bad as i was n had to learn the hard way (N basically wasted some money along the way)

1. Always always always moisturize on the plane, trust me the air is so so so so so dry that your skin will become so dry that u will start to itch and if its really bad you will scratch until it bleeds! (This is more so for long haul flights)

2. If you wanna use the bathroom in the plane and dont wanna que, please go either before u have your meals, cuz after meals everyone is gonna be lining up to use the few toilets that are available and basically u are gonna end up with a messy toilet. (Then again you have gotta time is correctly or else your gonna miss ur food!)

3. When chnaging currency, just change enough or what you think would be enough with a little to spare an charge the rest to your debit or credit card esp for hotel rooms and buying of items such as branded goods. You will have a better exchnage rate. (Tried and tested!)

4. And if u dont already know by now, you can clain VAT or TAX when buying branded goods :) Save $$$, just let the cashier know so they will prepare the proper documents.

And the last tip for today..

5. Please check the weather or keep track of the weather before you go to the destination and pack all clothing necessary. Esp in winter. For those of you who feel chilly easily do remeber that sometimes summer is also quite chilly in Europe and also in NZ and Aussie (during the early parts of summer). Dont be so gung ho, as you wont enjoy urself..

Till then, thats all i cant think bout for now :) Let me know if you guys would like for more tips in the future:)

Great Tips. Oh .. drink lots of water and less alcohol while on the plane.
One thing on VAT, US does not have VAT therefore be prepared to be disappointed if you were expecting a refund. Certain States in US do refund sales tax to tourist not every state. My 2 sen.
