Summer vacations are just around the corner and we know that there is nothing that makes you happier than taking a few days off. But we warn you: if you are not careful you can fall into the typical tourist traps that will make your vacation a hell.
In order to avoid these bad times we have prepared a Super guide with tips for surviving summer vacations, so put the five senses and take note of each of them, we do not want to repeat them a hundred times. Oh, and then don't tell us we hadn't warned you!
CHOOSE YOUR PARTNERS WELL
Choosing the perfect adventure companion is very important. There are friends who, when traveling, go from being an achuchable teddy to something like a wet gremlin. But they are not the only ones, here are a few prototypes of travel companions: there are lazy, that during the two weeks of vacations they spend 90% of the time in the hotel; the culturetas, which seems to have swallowed an encyclopedia and suddenly their soul comes out of tour-guide; the fiestukis, who sleep during the day and wake up at 9 to get handsome and give everything on the disk; are they lizards, which spend between 10 and 15 hours under the sun's rays; and the complain, to those who never like anything.
How to know that none of your friends hide one of these beings inside? Actually there are no infallible methods, even the most tender and unsuspected component of the group can hide a monster inside, so you only have to play it. But keep one thing in mind, If you find your perfect travel companion, never let it escape.
After the fight peace always comes
DARE TO TRAVEL ONLY
Can't you find anyone who wants to share a trip with you (and what would you be willing to take with fellow gremlins)? Well, travel alone! You're older and you don't need your mom to put cream on your back, or your sweetie to tell you what, where and when things are done. It's normal to be scared at first, but believe us, getting out of your comfort zone is something you'll be very grateful for.
In addition, the alternative is to stay at home soaked with sweat while browsing travel blogs and watching replay series that you know by heart or worse ... you love saving me. Save yourself and go on an adventure!
What can happen? That you join a group of goats? Well, nothing happens na!
SEA OR MOUNTAIN? CHOOSE YOUR DESTINATION WELL
At this point and you still haven't decided your destiny? It usually happens that you go crazy looking for information on thousands of places and in the end what you get is to be even more lost. Ask yourself a single question: what does the body ask of you? It seems stupid but if you see a photo of a destination you get a little more excited than with the rest, bingo! Do not force yourself to do things that you know you don't like, these are your vacations and you have to enjoy them to the fullest.
However, sometimes what the body asks of you is to change your style radically: it is enough with so much beach and so much beach bar, this year I feel like going to explore the mountains of Georgia! Who prevents you from going crazy?
GIVE SOMEONE THAT OTHER CAPRICHO ...
You are on vacation and you deserve it so take care of yourself a little man! (without returning home rolling or with the account in red numbers huh?). Dinner at that beautiful beach restaurant ... and speaking of beautiful: no, canned tuna is not a good fish-based dinner, so don't be a spider, you'll have time to save on your way back.
We still sting the bill ... but how delicious everything was!
SAY GOODBYE TO TECHNOLOGY
Stop checking the mail, turn off the phone, resist the temptation to gossip on Facebook and above all ... enjoy the holidays. In this technological era it seems to be more important to take a photo of the sunset than to enjoy it live, or to be in bad milk for not having Wi-Fi and not being able to share on social networks how well you are having fun. You are on vacation, also from social networks, remember it. Only exception: send a message a day so that your mother knows that neither a shark has eaten you nor a Chinese mafia has abducted you. That will never change: even if you have 20 years in each leg, you are still his helpless little boy.
Keyword: relax!
THE PERFECT HOLIDAYS DO NOT EXIST
Do not listen to the photos of the catalogs of the travel agencies, or to the movies where everything always goes well or to fairy tales: the perfect vacations do not exist, and if they existed they would be an infinite boredom. Having some small setback (nothing serious!) Will be something that at that time will seem like a world, but in the end you will remember it as one more aventurilla along the way.
That time, in Myanmar, we filled with mud to the eyebrows ...
It is told by one who missed the first flight of his life and had to spend more than half of the budget on another ticket for the next day. Always try to have a positive and proactive attitude, enjoy the small details and get in touch with the local culture. In this way you will see how your vacation will be transformed into a real trip.
