cruise for two

sergiy February 18, 2022

A small prefaceRecently, cruise vacations have become increasingly popular, and this is not surprising. The cruise provides an opportunity not only to have a great rest, constantly being in the fresh air, but also to get acquainted with interesting tourist sites and natural attractions. It can be considered as the most comfortable form of sightseeing tour. Formally, we can say that a cruise is a group excursion tour in which a ship is used as a means of transportation. In fact, this main feature leads to great differences between cruises and bus tours.

1. Sea cruises

• Movement along the tour route is carried out by sea on large cruise ships. Your ship is both a means of transportation and a hotel, so you don’t have to carry things along the route and move from hotel to hotel - this is very convenient.

• All transitions between ports are carried out in the evening and at night. You return from an excursion at the end of the day, have dinner, walk on the deck, breathe the sea air, visit bars, restaurants and show programs, go to bed, and wake up in the morning and find that you are already at the next point of your route and everything is ready for new ones. excursions. Thus, moving along the route is carried out without any effort and is almost invisible to you.

• The cost of a cruise is largely determined by the comfort and prestige of your ship (and cabin) and varies quite a lot. It should be noted that even not the largest cruise ships have a sufficient level of comfort and correspond to the level of 3-4 * hotels. At the same time, the cost of a weekly cruise on such a ship is quite comparable to the cost of staying in a hotel on the shore. • Meals on cruises are usually all-inclusive, excluding alcoholic beverages. In this regard, when mooring in ports, it makes sense to return to the ship at lunchtime to have a bite to eat and at the same time relax a bit.

• Usually the ship spends one or two days at sea during a cruise. On this day, you can sunbathe on the deck and swim in the deck pool. If you wish, you can sunbathe and swim at any free time.

• It is clear that your ship can stop only in fairly large ports. In this regard, you need to understand that only these port cities can be visited without additional efforts. To see the sights located far from the mooring ports, you must either participate in organized excursions or use public transport services yourself. Keep in mind that boarding the ship usually ends one hour before it leaves.

• When choosing a cruise, it is important to understand and interpret the indicated route well. To attract tourists, itineraries often indicate attractive cities that are not actually located directly on the sea (for example, Rome, Florence, Paris, etc.). To explore such cities, you need to order long excursions. Russian-language excursions (if possible) are ordered in advance when booking a tour. Already on the ship, you can sign up for a tour in a foreign language. All excursions are quite expensive, especially those ordered in Russian.

• In the evenings, there are usually shows on the ships, which for the most part are quite nice. Their visit is free, but it is good practice to order one or two alcoholic drinks (which, unfortunately, cost money) while viewing them.

• On cruises, it is customary to dress in evening wear towards the end of the day, and events such as the captain's dinner may have even stricter dress requirements. The severity of these requirements is very dependent on the class of your cruise ship. In any case, you will need to bring some extra clothing with you. Of course, you can try to ignore these requirements, but being a black sheep is not always pleasant.

• It is good practice to spend a week on the beach either before or after the cruise in an area close to the start or end of the cruise itinerary. Rest after the cruise is optimal, because during intensive excursions you can get a little tired, and a week of rest at the sea will be very useful.

2. River cruises

River cruises are in many ways similar to sea cruises, but they provide the opportunity to make excursions in the inland territories of countries and at the same time have several significant differences: • River cruise ships are quite small, which is due to the size of the rivers and the low height of the bridges under which you have to swim. In this regard, they do not have premises for holding shows and accommodating a large number of various bars and restaurants.

• The mode of passing the route is noticeably different. At night, the ship mainly stays in ports, and the passage of the route is carried out for the most part during daylight hours. This is due to the fact that the observation of the coast, with the cities and natural attractions located on them, is one of the main components of the excursion program itself and is a great pleasure.

• Since usually the zone of excursion interest is directly the area of the ship's parking, there is no urgent need to purchase centralized excursions, and sightseeing can be done independently on the basis of pre-stored guidebooks.

about the mediterranean cruise

Going on vacation, we opted for a Mediterranean cruise. In part, our choice was this, because my husband went to sea for 10 years before and wanted to feel like a passenger on a luxury liner. Plus, a good promotion turned up on the MSC Splendida liner. We were very glad that our journey began with the eternal city of Rome, which you need to get to at least once in your life!From the trip, first of all, we expected rest. And I'll tell you that on the liner it's still a vacation! During the day you go sightseeing, in the evening and at night you have fun in the theater, bar and with animators. Secondly, I wanted to visit a cruise ship for the first time. This is a pool, a buffet, a restaurant and passengers in elegant dresses and suits, every evening a chic performance in the theater and constant luxury around!We got from Fiumicino airport to Rome by bus, which stops at Roma Termini station. Our hotel was located almost near the station, where we got on foot from the bus stop. Check-in to the hotel went quickly, without delays and complaints. I have already been to Italy several times and noticed that breakfast is usually early and not heavy. But regardless, delicious! There are absolutely no problems with food on the liner. If you want, go to a restaurant, the truth is there on time, if you want - to a buffet, where nothing is limited by time, as well as the amount of food on your plate. During the week on the cruise, we tried everything!

Rich Mediterranean cruise program

The service during the cruise was great! The cabin was always tidy, clean and tidy. In general, we have long wanted to go on a sea cruise. Relaxing in a huge five-star hotel with full board, which also moves - what could be better? In each of the ports, we tried to walk as much as possible on our own. In Rome, we were insanely impressed by the Trevi Fountain. Unfortunately, we did not get to the Vatican, as it was scheduled for the return trip, and the liner was delayed, as I described earlier. In Genoa we really liked the Galata Museum and the submarine nearby. In Marseille, the weather let us down - there was just a crazy wind and it was not possible to walk in such weather for a long time.Most of all I remember visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady. In Barcelona, we walked along the main street and devoted a lot of time to La Sagrada Familia. We got to the local market - it's very interesting there! In Tunisia, it was interesting in a different way, after all, a different culture, different sensations. We ended up in the town of Sadi Bou Said, where there are beautiful white and blue houses and a continuous bazaar along the streets. We got to the ruins of Carthage, it's really not as interesting there as in the ruins of Rome.

We went on a cruise in winter, +12 degrees and the sun against -20 and ice still wins in any case. In Tunisia, in general, it was almost +18. A breath of summer in mid-January! Overall, we enjoyed the cruise. Moving between ports is very comfortable and exciting. The only disadvantage seemed to us to be the limited time spent in each port, but after all, this happens every time you go on vacation - you want to spend more and more time in an interesting place. But most of all I remember Barcelona! We want to go back there again!

I want to say that if you have children, then this type of trip is definitely for you! We looked at passengers with children - insanely convenient. They play with animators, everywhere there is an opportunity to drive a stroller or change a diaper. And be sure to take a few days on top before or after the cruise to see the city where you originally arrive. You will get double the pleasure! I hope you enjoyed my review of the Mediterranean cruise. I recommend to go on a Mediterranean cruise to all friends and acquaintances!

How to travel on foot

sergiy February 16, 2022

How best to route

Keep in mind that the average walking speed is 4-6 km per hour. Before planning a trip for a longer route, determine your walking speed, as well as assess your fitness. Never go hiking in new and unworn shoes, it is better to put on old boots. As much as you can - walk along the seashore with bare feet. This is useful. If you plan a long hike in one direction and the direction is not so important, go "downwind". So save your energy and go much more.

Don't go back the same way.

Walking the other way, you will see and learn much more.

Don't sleep long in the summer.

The best time to hike is at sunrise, when the air is clean and fresh and overflowing with bird calls. And it's not so hot, and it's easier to walk.

Rest during the day, and continue your journey in the evening.

Walk at a goose step along narrow paths and off-road. If you can't feel yourself in a goose-skin, go like wolves - trail after trail.

So you leave fewer traces in nature.

What to take with you

The season doesn't matter when it comes to hiking.

Just the right clothes and the desire to get out of the house.

Even in the Latvian gray autumn and endless winter, hiking will be a better alternative than many other everyday things.

Do not take a heavy bag filled with groceries and carbonated drinks with you. It is better to shop in local shops or from local farmers.

A heavy backpack will spoil the mood and will not allow you to go far.

Arrange with the owner of the rural house or with friends to take your bag to your destination.

Leave your tent, sleeping bag and warm night clothes at home.

Calculate how much it all weighs.

Make the most of local accommodations.

However, if you sleep in a tent, then remember that this is a specially protected natural area, and you can only stay overnight in specially designated places. If there is no such place, talk to the local owner to allow you to set up your tent in his meadow.

Buy the offered products from him.

For a half-day or full-day hike, be sure to bring a waterproof jacket, a pair of dry socks, a map of the area, a phone, a small bottle of water and food at a time in a small bag so that your stomach does not rebel.

Sometimes a compass is also useful. When traveling in a large group, honestly divide the joint things equally, depending on the carrying capacity and portability of each. Review the list of things from the previous trip so that nothing is forgotten.

Don't have such a list? Do it, because next time you won't have to puzzle over what to bring with you.

Where to go for advice

Before you go hiking, seek advice from local experts. If you do not see a local connoisseur, ask the seller. They are usually well aware of what is happening in the area. If you are interested in local history and the history of some object, visit the village library. Librarians are usually local enthusiasts who know a lot about what to say. Always greet the person walking towards you. A village is not a city where they do not know each other and pass by without saying hello!

Travel safety

If you are walking along a highway, keep to the side of the road and walk towards traffic. If you are walking in a group, follow one after the other, not in a chaotic crowd all the way Those territories where private property is "sacred and inviolable" are best avoided. In these cases, as a rule, you will not prove your case, but at best spoil your mood. Never turn your back on a threatening and angry dog. Cover yourself with a bag or some other large object. Wait for the moment and evaluate the plan for further action. You can move freely in state and local government forests, observe nature, pick mushrooms, berries and nuts.

Move quietly in natural areas and remember that in Latvia forest animals (normal) do not attack humans. However, it is better not to climb a dormant elk. A disturbed boar will usually startle with an angry grunt and rush off in the opposite direction. Ein aus dem Schlaf gestörtes Wildschwein wird auch nur böse grunzen und kurz entgegen rennen. If the behavior of a wild or domestic animal seems strange, it is best to bypass it. Rabid animals are very dangerous to people and animals, so report it to your local authorities!

travel free

How to travel the world almost for free

If you are not rich, you have an average salary, but you really want to travel, I see 3 options:

1.Accumulate.

2.To work remotely.

3.Learn to travel for free or almost for free.

This article will talk about point 1 (in short), and the main focus will be on point 3. Remote work requires at least a separate article, although you can write a whole book. The main thing you need to understand is that you don't have to be rich to travel. There are other possibilities as well.

About money To go on my first trip, I saved up. I simply put aside a certain amount after receiving each salary, I lived without frills on the remaining money. No going to the cinema - you can watch at home, no fitness club - you also have dumbbells at home, practically no cafes - I know how to cook, almost no new clothes, only if I really feel like it. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't hard either. I was warmed by a dream, so I could be patient. I made travel a priority, and after getting paid, I saved for my dream first.

This is a very important point, because you will not be able to save the required amount of money if you do not make your goal a priority, giving up various pleasant little things every day in favor of a dream. All that year I did not have enough money for new clothes and gadgets, going to the cinema and cafes, taxis, etc. because at the beginning of the month I put aside most of my salary and lived on the rest of the money.If you are also going to save and need advice, let me know in the comments. Then I will write a detailed article on accumulation and share my experience more fully. In the process of accumulation, you will have to deal with your budget. If you want to travel the world on your own, the ability to keep track of income and expenses is paramount. Without it, there is simply no way, it is better to get used to it in advance.
If you want to travel not only in Russia, it is advisable to know English at least at a basic level. There are many free lessons and courses on the Internet, so if you still don’t know English, you didn’t really need it. Even if you are going to travel by free methods, I think it is the height of stupidity not to save at least $ 1,000 just in case. If you have not known Zen, this will save you a lot of nerves. You want to travel, not survive.

How to spend the night for free in any country

To avoid paying rent, stay with the locals. Especially for this purpose, there are many services that bring together travelers and hospitable people. Using these sites, you will never pay for housing in other countries.

Sometimes you will be given a separate room, sometimes a free sofa, maybe even an air mattress. You do not have to pay for housing, but there is one feature - you should not abuse hospitality. You can live for free, but not for long. Usually no more than a week and you need to look for a new home. Fortunately, there are plenty of couchsurfers around the world, even in Russia.

Another feature is that you will save money on the roof over your head, but in Couchsurfing it is customary to treat the host, take them to a cafe or buy food and cook some kind of Russian dish. The CS has a strong emphasis on cultural exchange. The history of your travels will be expected from you, often with beer or other strong drinks. So free accommodation for tourists turns into a small drinking bout.

Volunteer programs for free travel

At this point, there will be no large volunteer programs to rescue sea turtles or anything else where you will have to shell out $ 200 for participation. I have a friend who volunteered in Bali, paid to work for free. I don't mind, but there are other options. Help with the work of local residents, for example. If you are ready to work 4 hours a day for food and a roof over your head, then this option will suit you.

Exchange travel – Home Exchange

Have you ever watched the comedy "The Vacation"? It was filmed just about the phenomenon, which in English is called "house swap" or the exchange of houses. Recently, the idea of sharing has become popular in the west. She came to us in the form of carsharing. The essence of the idea is simple - you register on a specially trained site and look for a partner who would like to exchange housing with you for a while. You live with him, and he with you. Everything is wonderful.

How to save even more

I think the housing issue is closed. Now you know how to live in another country for free. It remains to close the issues with transport, excursions and meals.

Hitch-hiking

A free way to move around the world with the help of passing cars. This phenomenon is popular and relatively safe in civilized countries: America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and even in Russia.

Cook your own food

The best way to save money when traveling is to cook yourself. I was spending about $50 on food a week while in Stockholm. Compare with the average check of $15 for a dish in a cafe or restaurant. This simple rule saved me $150. Many hostels, guesthouses, campuses and couchsurfing will provide you with a kitchen. No kitchen? Prepare sandwiches. You don't have to have a stove to be full.

It is not necessary to constantly go to restaurants if you are traveling. Your trip to Paris won't get any worse if you decide to cook for yourself for the day. There is no need to spend a lot of money in catering. The recipe for low-cost travel comes down to 3 ingredients: an inexpensive way to get around, a place to stay and save on food. All this will turn your travel dream into reality.

Junk food or traveling on a minimal budget

sergiy February 14, 2022

No wonder they say that if a person really wants something, he will do everything for this. The rest of the options are just excuses. Nowadays, going on a trip without having the proper funds is quite realistic. Moreover, there are unexpected life hacks on how to survive. And sometimes survive with special comfort in the most expensive countries in the world.Today we decided to dwell on a few of them and get your opinion on this matter. After all, stereotypes in our minds sometimes close in front of us the very doors behind which there is a dream.

So, how can you save on trips without having money or counting on minimal costs. The first rule of budget travelers is to prepare in advance. In one of the articles we wrote about travel on credit. In this case, special preparation is not necessary, but if not immediately, but the funds will be spent. Therefore, you should pay attention to the resources where information is provided on preferential flights. You may have to pay some amount here. To save time and find a flight that will cost you several times cheaper. However, there are a number of bloggers and travel enthusiasts who share their experiences for a regular subscription or repost.

In addition to good advice from experienced people, you can save a certain amount if you decide to travel in a rented car. Of course, car rental is not cheap, and you can hitchhike to travel long distances. But for those who cannot deny themselves independence, you can use the car rental aggregator. This will reduce the price by thirty forty percent, as well as purchase profitable insurance that will take care of the safety of you and your wallet in the event of an accident. By the way, earlier booking a car will allow you to choose the desired car.

Try to avoid additional paid options by downloading maps of the area in advance.

And having planned a trip and knowing the distances covered, it will be easier for you to decide on the choice of cars. If you need to travel far, then it is better to take a car with the condition of unlimited mileage, since surcharges for kilometers in excess of the daily limit can make travel much more expensive. We also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the rental rules and traffic rules of the country you are visiting. For fines in their size can quickly nullify your savings. No matter how trite it may sound, but knowledge in this case will help you a lot.

In a bit of contrast, after the desire to save on car rentals, we turn to the global savings on food on a trip.

However, food makes up a huge percentage of the cost of any trip. Where it is impossible to take enough food with you, the method chosen by the freegans has become popular. Namely, food from the garbage. Of course, it is difficult for the Russian contingent to adequately perceive this way of eating. Since our dumps are somewhat different from foreign ones. But the very possibility of not buying food on a trip will save you a lot of money.For those who dare to live in another country, you can find detailed instructions on where you can and where you do not need to take food in different countries. It should be mentioned that the delay, including for several hours or goods with a broken wrapper, are disposed of in special packaging and placed in clean plastic bags. Sometimes displayed in boxes. So, with proper preparation, you will already know where, how and when to get the food you need. You can even create a menu.

If you still disdain to eat from the garbage, then on the same resources you can find out where in the backyard of restaurants you can talk with chefs and ask for food from them. And do not forget about the discount on cooking in the evening. For those who prefer hostels and camps to hotels, there is an option to get "free food". This is what previous travelers did not have time or did not want to eat. For the most part, these are pasta and long-term stored products. What you usually take with you on a trip. Here you can leave your surplus, if any.

Another point of a budget trip is the use of services that provide cashback.

It's nice when a certain percentage of the funds used will return. Let's go over other points that allow you to save money. This is using free wifi. Now almost everywhere there is this opportunity. Hotels, cafes, shopping centers and other public places provide this service. A local SIM card is often more profitable than universal roaming, and a tourist card, sometimes free, will give good discounts. For excursions, too, it is not always necessary to pay. Try looking for free options. Often there are sightseeing tours for transit passengers.Therefore, for sociable travelers, it is worth asking about this guest network. This is a real opportunity to make your dream come true for less money. And going on a trip for a long time, you can stay at the hotel for a couple of days in order to find cheaper accommodation on the spot. Find out about discounts for long stays - since you have decided to stay for more days, why not pay less for it. Many recommend in this case to take apartments.

Returning to the implementation of their own desires, we can summarize. The impossible may well become reality. If you approach the realization of the aspiration wisely and use the amazing amount of information available in our time. Your dreams are in your hands. As well as the safety of your funds. Save what you can just by spending a little time.

How to get free products in Europe?

sergiy February 14, 2022

I have already raised the issue of food while traveling and that this item always takes up a large part of the expenses. On a trip to Scandinavia, spending on food amounted to the same amount as for an overnight stay. At the same time, for the first ten days, I lived exclusively on cereals for breakfast, muesli bars for lunch, and canned food for dinner. On any trip, the most economical option is to buy food in stores and then cook them in a hostel or on a burner. But I also heard about cases with free delivery of food. From discarded by expiration date and removed from garbage cans near supermarkets, to charitable organizations.

In a hostel in Oslo in the same room with me was a Russian man Igor, who went to Norway to work. In order to somehow adapt to the difficult conditions in the new environment in one of the most expensive countries in the world, he tries to look for various ways of social assistance from charitable organizations. He was just about to visit one of these offices the next day, and I immediately agreed to keep him company.According to him, only a passport was needed with him. I did not have any urgent need for humanitarian assistance, as I call it, but curiosity and new experience made me go without hesitation. At the entrance, we were asked if we were the first time, and after that we took a ticket from the electronic queue machine. At that time we were the only visitors. We were asked to wait, and we, not embarrassed at all, began to argue in a loud voice how ethical it is in our situation to take away food, perhaps from very poor people who really need it. Then a girl came up to us and in pure Russian invited us to follow her.

Showing our ordinary passports, we were told that they did not provide assistance to tourists and shrugged. But we were able to easily convince that the prices in Norway are terrible, I generally travel by motorcycle and my food supplies have already come to an end, and Igor lives here and is trying to find a job, which is actually a big problem. Then the girl agreed to just give me one-time products, specifying that she would not give perishable ones, since I was on a motorcycle. And Igor wrote in a journal and promised support in the future, not only with products. In general, according to the passport, products can be received once a month.We spent almost half an hour in communication with the girl, and during this time people came, received food and left. Among them were a young girl, and a guy of about thirty, and a granny.Igor, like everyone else, was given two bags of food, and I was given one. By that time, thermoses with tea / coffee and buns were still put up in the lobby. In Norway, one such bun as on a tray costs 15-20 kroons in a regular supermarket. That is about 150 rubles for our money. So we also had breakfast.Such an organization is not alone, and Igor was going to go intelligence then to others. You can also find clothes and household appliances. He also talked about cases when he was walking down the street, and food was handed out there just like that. Perhaps this is due to the fact that at first glance there are more refugees in the city than indigenous people, otherwise for whom are these products distributed? To some extent, this looks unusual, but there are such organizations in Russia, so it would be strange to be surprised at such a social benefit, but in any case, it is much more developed there.

At first, I was so excited about free products that I was going to do it all the way down the road. The girl even looked at the address of the Salvation Army office in Stockholm, and Igor advised that next time he should speak less, tell stories that I was looking for a job and in no case say that I am a simple tourist, but it’s better to pretend to be dumb or say, that my native language is Kabardino-Bulgarian :)

However, I no longer went to the offices of this organization and did not deceive anyone. Some friends have generally condemned me, saying that I take food from the poor, although I do not think so. But in any case, this is a good example of the fact that when you find yourself in a difficult situation abroad and even in Russia, there is a place where you can turn, where people can help at the first stage and even just give food.

What to take on a long trip by car? It is useful to figure out what to take with you on the road from food if you are planning long trips. When adults are traveling on their own, you can get by with a minimum set, but if this is a family trip with children, there are a number of good rules. You can cook the following dishes on the road:

During hot weather, food spoils much faster. In order not to remain hungry on the road, you should make room for the right snacks. It is important that food spoils slowly, for this it is worth providing appropriate storage. Bags can be replaced with paper or cloth, or you can use vacuum packaging on the way.

Remember that the time that food is stored is short. Even in a thermal bag, it’s not worth keeping for more than one day. In terms of quantity, you are guided by how much to travel on the road.

trip-travel the best roads of las vegas

Hey! I am talking about a ready-made travel route from Las Vegas by car for 5 days to the most interesting parks in Utah in the USA. It will be useful for those who have already been surprised by the Universe of Vegas and traveled from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon, but again flew or came to Vegas to look at the best casinos on the Strip, visit various shows, and see the most interesting sights outside the city. In general, this article is for those who plan to continue their acquaintance with the United States in more depth.

And the best for this is a trip called The Mighty 5, which includes five national parks in Utah - Arches, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef. We will see them first of all, and we will also visit three more state parks that are located near Las Vegas. We ourselves have personally visited all these national parks, and I will share with you practical information about where to rent a car, how best to go, where to stay overnight and, most importantly, what to see in these parks.

Route from Las Vegas by car

The Las Vegas Utah Parks Route is a five-day circular drive northeast of Vegas through Nevada and Utah. The trip program includes visits to the National Parks - Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef, as well as Dead Horse Point State Parks, Goblin Valley and Red Canyon.

Traveling along this route by car on your own, you will see the most important and interesting things in Utah: the best sunsets and sunrises, natural arches and hoods, high cliffs and deep canyons, take many beautiful photos and stay with unforgettable impressions from a trip to the southwestern United States .

When is the best time to go It is best to plan a trip from Las Vegas to national parks in the spring (April, May) or autumn (October, November) months. At this time of the year, it is not very hot during the day, and there are not as many tourists in the parks as in summer. You can also go in winter, for example on New Year's Eve. At the same time, in the mornings in parks located at an altitude above 2000 meters (Bryce, Canyonlands) it can be quite cool, so I recommend taking warm clothes with you.

Utah state parks

We have traveled extensively in the US and seen the best parks along this route and we really liked them. So we can recommend this Canyon Country route to anyone who wants to see the most beautiful natural sights in the US Southwest and visit the extraordinarily picturesque parks of Utah.

Why are Utah's parks interesting? Firstly, we have already visited as many as 53 national parks in the USA, and still we think that Utah parks are the most delicious and unusual thing to eat in the States, especially for the first acquaintance with the nature of America. Secondly, there are other special parks in the USA, such as Yosemite in California or the Grand Canyon in Arizona, which can compete with them in beauty, but Utah's parks still win in fantastic and unusual. Scenic views evoke emotions that overflow!

5 travel apps for travelers on a budget

If you ever get the chance, explore the world without plans. When you return, you will no longer be the same. Jack Kerouac's book On the Road captures the spirit of spontaneous travel—going where you like, when you like, and experiencing the world first hand. Exploring the globe can be liberating, character-building, and a fascinating world. Even more surprising: Today's traveler doesn't need to be incredibly wealthy to explore just about any country on Earth.However, traveling the world isn't free, so unless you're rich regardless, you'll need to shell out a penny or two on those trips abroad. But you have a tool that Kerouac never dreamed of: your mobile device. Whether it's a smartphone or tablet, connecting with friends, family, and apps can save you a lot of money. Let's take a look at five budget-stretching apps you should always take with you when you travel.

1.Good translator

2.Communication connection

3.Asylum selector

4.WiFi Master

5.Multifunctional travel planning tool

Few things can make you feel more helpless in a foreign country than the inability to communicate. Improvised sign language only for you. Most language translation apps are much cheaper than printed phrasebooks and usually contain much more information. Each Lonely Planet phrasebook app is for one language and only costs $6. These handy tools draw on Lonely Planet's rich experience in the global travel market. Taking the time to memorize a few phrases will likely earn you points among the locals.For a cheaper app that translates voice to voice (you speak one language and it repeats itself in another), iTranslate is your best bet. If you don't mind seeing ads, iTranslate language titles are free, or you can upgrade to an ad-free version for $1-$2. Jibbigo is another very highly rated translator, but it will cost you around $30 per language - not exactly budget-friendly, especially if you need multiple languages.Even if you use translators on the fly, you will still be good at remembering some important phrases. Considering how unstable some of the translation apps are, we know how to say "Sorry, I didn't mean to say that!" It can be useful.

The most delicious trip in 2021: the main gastronomic region of Europe has been identified

They became Slovenia. The country received this title for its gastronomic opportunities and the development of an environmentally friendly approach to life, according to the Subtleties of Tourism portal. The culinary traditions of Slovenia are based on the principle “From the garden to the table”, that is, they encourage the use of natural products. There are strong relationships between local producers and chefs. In addition, the country's Tourism Board began to develop the Slovenian Green Cuisine brand. This culinary program is part of the country's overall tourism vision of sustainable travel.I have never been to wine and gastronomic tours before. Although some hints in our travels on them were constantly. If Anton and I found ourselves in any wine region, we always tried local wines, and when we had the opportunity, we would definitely visit wine cellars. So it was with us in Italy, Moldova, Hungary, Romania, Georgia, in Odessa, after all. When we got to Argentina, we even made a special trip to the famous Cuyo wine region to drive around its wineries, look at the vineyards and learn how the wine that is so popular in our country is made.

As for gastronomy, I can honestly tell you here: we have not yet had a single country, not a single city where we have not tried something local, special, with a typical flavor. If it was, of course. So, when I was invited to take part in a full-fledged wine and gastronomic tour around the Krasnodar Territory, I decided that this was a sign. A sign to finally and completely reveal this topic for yourself. Of course, as usual, in my first topical note, I will show you photos of the places we visited in three full days. But in addition, I will also tell you about what they are and how such tours proceed.

How to travel safely

1. Learn common scams

Wherever you go, there will always be people who want to cash in on you. If you're lucky, you'll crack them right away. But there are a bunch of professional scammers that are not so easy to recognize.

2. Write down the emergency numbers

If something bad happens, you may not have time to look up the number of the local police, ambulance, or embassy in your country. Write this information down ahead of time and create an emergency plan. Save all this on your phone, and also write it down on paper in case something happens to the phone.

3. Protect your valuables

It is better not to take valuable things on the road. But there is always something valuable, without which there is no way to travel - for example, an expensive camera. Minimize the risk of theft. Know that most bags are not safe. You might think that a closed bag is enough protection against a thief, and then doze off and wake up with a hole in it. If you do not have a special bag with cut protection, its fabric can be ripped open. Most zippers can be opened with a sharp object such as a pen.

4. Buy insurance

5. Ask locals for advice

If you want to know which area is safe, ask a local. Most of the locals are friendly and will warn you of dangerous areas.

6. Email your itinerary to friends and family

Approve the itinerary and send it to friends and family. Make sure they get it. Then periodically write to them where you are. Be sure to tell them when you return. If several days have passed since the date of the expected return, they should call the police or the embassy to start looking for you.

7. Don't Share Information

Too Much with Strangers If you want to share your itinerary with the general public, such as posting on Facebook, remember that this is a good way to keep track of your movements. Also, don't share travel details too much with people you've just met or where you'll be staying.

8. Dress smart Don't dress like a tourist.

The more authentic you look, the less attention you will attract. Wearing the right clothes is also a sign of respect. In many Islamic countries, there are a number of strict regulations on how to dress. In conservative countries, it is safer to dress more discreetly.

9. Don't skimp on security

If you have little money, you will want to save more on housing, flights, entertainment. But it is important to know that this is not always the safest way to travel. Cheap hostels are not always safe. Some of them do not have locks on the doors. Budget flights often take place in the middle of the night. This is usually not the best time to hail a taxi in a dangerous city.

10. Tie yourself to a bag

Quick thefts usually happen because the thief can do it quickly and easily. Therefore, any obstacles to the theft usually remove the risk that it will happen at all. If you can tie your backpack to something immovable in a way that makes it noticeable, thieves will know better than to mess with you. An effective way is to use a carabiner or ordinary rope around the leg or chair.

11. Don't use back pockets

This is the first place pickpockets check. If you are used to putting money there, get out of the habit. Stealing something from the front pockets is much more difficult. If you're really worried about money or are planning a trip to a city that is infested with pickpockets, you can try the money belt.

12. Travel in company

The more people around you, the more control over valuables and legs ready to chase thieves. The group intimidates scammers - their chances of profiting in this case are small. If you are traveling alone, consider making new friends and traveling together. Staying in hostels is a great way to make friends.

13. Take a first aid kit

Take medicine for cuts, sprains, stomach and burns with you. You can add painkillers, antiallergic tablets, plasters, antibiotics to the first aid kit.

14. Be aware of the risks

If you want to travel, you cannot avoid risks. Risk is an integral part of the adventure. But risks can be controlled. The news often shows countries as far less safe than they really are.

Bahamas

sergiy February 11, 2022

Bahamas - the incredible beauty of the island, which will give the most unique beach relaxation trip - there is only relaxation and no fuss! Beautiful villas, hotels, beach houses... Even Hollywood stars have their own mansions on these paradise islands! This is not surprising, the best place to relax is hard to imagine.
Are you dreaming or have already planned to make a tour to the Bahamas? Information about the Bahamas is essential.

Bahamas: location. The Bahamas are almost 700 small islands and reefs! They are located near the United States (Florida) and Cuba. Bahamas: the capital. The capital of the Bahamas is the city of Nassau, which is located on the island of New Providence. This is where 80% of the country's population lives! The Parliament Palace and the square, the famous royal gardens and the royal staircase, the Bay shopping street and other interesting sights are also located here. You can also relax in the capital - the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island will gladly accept all tourists! Bahamas: language. The official and widely used language in the Bahamas is English.

Bahamas: features of customs control. The customs regulations of the Bahamas allow the import of 200 cigarettes / 50 cigars / 450 grams of smoking tobacco (your choice!). Regarding alcohol, it is limited to a volume of 0.94 liters for both spirits and wine. It is forbidden to bring any narcotic and explosive substances into the islands. When exporting any agricultural products, plants, wood carvings, an export permit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries of the Bahamas will be required. Bahamas: climate and seasonality. The climate on the islands is quite comfortable for recreation, from +23 to +31 depending on the island and the month of the year. It is best to relax in the Bahamas from September-October to May.

Bahamas: currency. The official currency on the islands is the Bahamian dollar. For 1 US dollar on the islands, you can get approximately 0.99-1 Bahamian dollar (the ratio is almost always 1:1). Bahamas: tips. You can leave a tip in the Bahamas in the amount of 10-20% of the check amount (in most cases, almost 15% is left “on top” for almost all services). Bahamas: telephone. As for mobile communications, it is better to buy a prepaid SIM card (for example, from The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Ltd), especially for using the Internet. If you only need to call home a few times, it will be cheaper to buy a payphone card, which can be found in most large stores and gas stations.

Bahamas: official holidays. Be sure to try to plan a tour to the Bahamas so that you get to one of the local festivals or holidays. The most interesting holidays for tourists will be:

Christmas (25.12)

Jonconu carnivals (December 26 and January 1-2) - processions of thousands of people in amazing and colorful costumes;

New Year (1.01); In January - windsurfing championship (boarding with a sail);

In late May-early June, there is a week-long Caribbean Music and Dance Festival, and in late November, the Bahamas Music Festival (dates change annually, so it's best to look just before planning tour dates). July 10 - Independence Day.

TRAVEL SAVINGLY, OR HOW TO SEE THE WORLD FOR 100 DOLLARS

sergiy February 11, 2022

To spend a vacation abroad, you do not need thousands of dollars in a bank account and travel companies. You can see the sights, meet new people and feel the soul of the country with only 100 USD/EUR in your pocket.To do this, you, firstly, must definitely read our article "How to travel the world almost for free: 13 ways." For those who prefer to stay in five-star hotels with all-inclusive, this article will be useless. Well, notorious and risky travelers who dream of seeing the world, but, unfortunately, earn little, will find something useful here.

1. Visa The first

obstacle to the best vacation of your life is a visa. Getting it is not only problematic and time-consuming, but also quite expensive (minimum 35 euros). To get around this obstacle, you can choose a country in which we have a visa-free or simplified border crossing system.

The countries for which a visa-free regime for Ukrainians is carried out include Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Andorra, Russia, Belarus, Armenia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Georgia, Jordan, China, Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Thailand, Turkey, Sri -Lanka, Argentina, Barbados, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Egypt, Fiji and many others.

But do not rejoice prematurely, as a visa fee may be required right at the country's airport. It is also worth considering the limited lines of stay in the country on a visa-free right and the cost of the road. So the best option for an economy tourist is Europe and neighboring Asia.

2. Road Now

comes the most expensive part of the journey - the road. The plane is fast, but insanely expensive, so it is better for an economy tourist to use the services of bus transportation or, if flying, then a low-cost one (the price of which is several times lower than a regular air carrier). You don’t need to buy a ticket right away, you should look for various discounts and low-cost websites where prices are much lower than in travel companies (Kayak.com).

What funds we have The ideal option is to have a gold credit card. But, upon returning home, it will have to be replenished with our own money, so this is not our option. It is better to take the funds that you can easily allocate for the trip without depriving the starving family. But even with a hundred euros you can travel well. It is also worth familiarizing yourself with the exchange rate in the country you are planning to visit in advance. In some countries, your 100 euros can be a fortune, and in others, such as Dubai, mere pennies. Before being horrified by the prices for hotels and restaurants abroad, it is worth determining for ourselves: what do we need to survive in a foreign country? The list is actually very small.

- air;
- water;
- food;
- dream;
- safety;
- Souvenirs and various little things, not very important, but tourists seem to be just the same necessary.

Bottom line Most of the money when traveling abroad goes to travel, accommodation, food and excursions. We need to find ways to cut spending in every possible category. Transportation is the least economical. Therefore, you need to find countries where the road is inexpensive, or save up money for a flight to Cuba or Bali and live there on $100 for a whole month. And this is not an exaggeration! Everything is really very cheap on these islands, and you can easily spend a whole month there on your salary alone.

travel to kazakhstan

sergiy February 04, 2022

Traveling to Kazakhstan is a real adventure, full of amazing natural landscapes, the hospitality of local residents and the variety of tastes of national cuisine. This country, located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, has absorbed the influences of a variety of cultural and religious movements. For millennia, this land was inhabited by nomads grazing cattle in the spacious valleys near the rivers and among the picturesque foothills.

In literal translation, the word “Kazakh” means “free man”, which means that Kazakhstan is a country of freedom-loving people who live in peace with their neighbors and are proud of their history. As a separate state, the Republic of Kazakhstan appeared on the geopolitical map of the world in 1991, after the collapse of the USSR. However, for many centuries the Kazakh people cultivated their own unique values, followed the traditions accepted since ancient times, nurtured their cuisine, music, folk dances... local life.

Why is it worth coming to Kazakhstan?
Kazakhstan is one of the largest and most influential countries in Central Asia. The progressive leap in the development of the state was largely due to the discovery of oil fields. However, the tourism sector is also actively developing in the country. Kazakhstan has something to impress even the most experienced tourists. So, here are a few reasons that motivate you to visit this amazing region with rich cultural traditions and amazing natural landscapes.

Almaty region is an impressive region in the south-east of the country with its mountains. Here is the former capital of the state, the city of Almaty, which has many amusement parks, bazaars, shopping centers and museums. In this city, you will definitely not get bored and will be able to spend several busy days here, full of exciting trips. Outside of Almaty, active travelers will find many locations for summer hikes or winter sports.

The current capital of Nur-Sultan is also rich in impressions. Here you can visit the largest mosque in Central Asia - Khazret Sultan - a majestic building with high minarets directed to the sky. Visit "Khan Shatyr" (literally translated from Kazakh - "Tsar Tent") - a shopping center built in the shape of a giant tent, which is the largest tent in the world. Before you set off to explore the reserves and national parks of Kazakhstan, in Nur-Sultan you can have a good time on a boat trip along the Ishim River. Here you will also have a great opportunity to learn more about the traditional cuisine of Kazakhstan at interactive culinary master classes.

South Kazakhstan is an ideal location for exploring the history and ancient traditions of the Kazakh people. Go to the ancient city of Turkestan, founded in the 10th century, to see the amazing beauty of the Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. Go to see the excavations of the ancient city of Otrar, which was one of the largest cities in Central Asia before the Mongol invasion. In the city of Sairam, you can literally touch the history by visiting its many ancient mosques and mausoleums.

The national parks of Kazakhstan are preserved, pure nature in its original form, amazing places where you can merge with the surrounding space and enjoy magnificent views and landscapes, study the flora and fauna of the region. There are 13 national parks in Kazakhstan, located in different parts of the country: in the east, southeast, in the central part and in the north of the country. Therefore, in whatever city of Kazakhstan you find yourself, you can always quickly get to stunning natural locations with mountains, lakes, forests, valleys and rivers.

Vacation of your dreams .

Kazakhstan is ready to offer its guests a whole range of travel experiences: from learning about traditions and history to extreme adventures in the bosom of nature. Whether you go wandering among the ruins of ancient cities of the era of Tamerlane or look at Kazakhstani megacities from a bird's eye view, your time in this amazing country will be filled with emotions and impressions.

In Kazakhstan, you can raft down a turbulent mountain river or go falconry, visit numerous sandy deserts or ride ice on a high-mountain skating rink among snow-covered ridges and peaks. Here you will try Kazakh, Russian, Uzbek and Uighur cuisine, feel the excitement of bargaining for souvenirs in local markets and capture the highlights of your trip in dozens and hundreds of photographs.

Visa to Kazakhstan Kazakhstan's 30-day visa-free entry policy covers many countries, including Canada, the United States, and many countries in Asia, Europe, and the CIS. If you are not eligible for visa-free entry into a country, there is a good chance that you are eligible for an easy-to-apply e-Visa.

Is it worth it to rest on credit or in installments?

sergiy February 03, 2022

Have you ever thought about going on vacation on credit or in installments? This is an absolutely normal practice, which is used in many countries. We will tell you about its intricacies so that you can evaluate the expediency for yourself. We think you will agree that every person needs to go on some kind of trip at least once a year to change the situation. At the same time, we take a break from ordinary life and gain strength for new achievements. But how can you go on such a journey when you literally live “back to back” in finance all year?

The content of the article

1 Why is collecting money for vacation difficult?

2 Method number 1: Loan for vacation in a travel agency

3 Method number 2: Vacation on credit on your own

4 Why is a vacation in installments considered a logical solution?

5 When is the best time to buy tours?

Why is collecting money for vacation difficult? This problem is known to many, because no matter how high your income is, “there is never a lot of money.” During the year, most often there are more important material purchases than emotional ones. For example, we buy not only food, but also personal hygiene products, clothes, or even make quite large investments in new furniture or a service we like. Of course, this is not without the help of advertisers - signs and commercials are quite densely eaten into our memory to make us buy this or that product.

In general, there are quite enough barriers to accumulating money for vacation. But since, as we have already found out, everyone needs to diversify their lives, we want to tell you about what opportunities exist for relaxing on credit or by installments.

Method number 1: Loan for vacation in a travel agency If you are going to purchase a tour from a certain travel company, it is likely that it also issues loans. In this case, this organization simply cooperates with any bank. At the same time, you can arrange a vacation on credit, right sitting in a travel agency - you do not need to run around the banks and collect another set of documents.

There are many examples of such a merger - tourism and banking. This allows customers to arrange tours in installments in just half an hour with a low credit rate. In addition, often the down payment is quite small (10-30%), which allows you to purchase a trip without additional preparation.

In order to arrange a vacation on credit in a travel company, all the documents provided for a visa and the purchase of a tour are suitable. That is, it is necessary to have a guarantor and confirmation of your financial solvency. The travel agency coordinates all the received data with the bank online, so you get an answer on the loan in a matter of minutes.

Method number 2:

Vacation on credit on your own In this case, you have the right to choose a bank where you can find more favorable conditions for obtaining a loan. Initially, you need to submit an application for consideration, which will indicate the required amount of money. Usually, after consideration, some documents are required to be submitted - that is, you have to run a little. As a result, you get a large amount of credit in your hands, which you can dispose of as you like: either pay for the tour in full, or still leave money for spending on the trip itself.

Quite often, they choose the option of registering a vacation on credit using a credit card. Of course, this method has its advantages: if you issue a multicard, then you can also pay for goods abroad with this money. You will be surprised, but even the smallest shops in Europe accept non-cash payments - otherwise you can save yourself from withholding a commission.

Why is a vacation in installments considered a logical solution? Since a lot of people still stop at buying a ticket in installments, we decided to identify the main reasons that encourage this: Collecting funds for vacation is a long time. The loan amount is often relatively small. The ability to repay the loan amount in a short time is quite real.Indeed, in practice it turns out that it is more convenient for people to give money for a loan when they know for sure that it is “needed” than to save money on their own and, whenever possible, spend it from there on other random purchases. In the end, it remains to choose only the most suitable option for you.

How to travel without money

sergiy February 03, 2022

If you love comfortable hotels and are not ready to give up the amenities for the sake of a dream - this article is not for you. The advice is simple: work long and hard, and one day you may be able to save the amount needed for the trip. For others who are not looking for easy ways, we will tell you how to travel the world without money or with a minimum of them.

Content of the article

1 Inevitable costs

2 Transport in travel

3 Housing for rent

4 Food on the go

5 Useful tips for saving

Let's start with the bad, but quite predictable, news: it is unlikely to make such a trip without a penny. There are two cost items that cannot be saved. The first is visas. Of course, you can ask a truck driver you know to smuggle you across the border, but firstly, it will create a number of obstacles during your illegal stay in the country, and secondly, we prefer legal means of saving.

The second is health insurance. Before you travel around the world, you need to clearly understand that this activity is very adventurous, and often dangerous. Abroad, very expensive medical care, and if something happens - your family will have to spend a fortune on your treatment. This may include the necessary vaccinations if you are going to potentially dangerous countries.

On this we tie up with the bad news and move on to the positive. Any trip costs three whales: transport, housing, food. We will dwell on each of them in detail, considering both extreme ways of saving and conventional ones that do not involve a complete waiver of money.

Transport on the go The most "free" mode of transport in the world is hitchhiking. There are nuances, but for hardcore tourists - that's it. For those who do not want to rely on chance, you can look for fellow travelers on services like blablacar. Bicycle is the choice of hardy travelers who are in no hurry. Fortunately, European countries have all the conditions for cycling.

The bus is an inexpensive mode of transport, suitable for short journeys between cities. Carefully study the route and ticket prices. It often happens that the price of tickets for "transfer" tickets will be much lower than for a direct flight. The train is also inexpensive, especially if you book tickets in advance. It is better to choose night flights, in which, if you are lucky, you can sleep, saving at the same time and housing.

Housing for rent Camping.

For those who carry everything with them, it is an ideal option. Free, safe, have everything you need, plus fresh air. What else do you need? Couchsurfing is suitable for those who want to travel the world without money, but are reluctant to give up basic amenities. In the largest guest network there is accommodation for all tastes, and absolutely free. If you need an option without the owners - suitable exchange vacation or house sitting. In the first case, you provide your home in exchange for someone else's, in the second - look after the house in the absence of the owners.

In any tourist city you can find a hostel - an inexpensive hostel, where there is everything you need. There are many international volunteer organizations that will be happy to accept active young people who want to travel while helping other people or the planet. Housing, road, food - all inclusive. You have a chance not only to travel the world, but also to make it a little better.

Work in exchange for housing.

These are international programs, where after spending a few hours on a farm or enterprise, the rest of the time can be spent traveling. You will not earn money, but you will not have to pay for accommodation and meals. In the same way, you can travel on a cruise liner as a team member.

Food on the go Forget about restaurants on the tourist streets.

Look for inconspicuous cafes in sparsely populated alleys where locals eat. It is guaranteed to be tasty and inexpensive. Even better - prepare yourself from products bought in supermarkets or on the market. So you can save at least 50% of the budget on food. And if you buy only promotional products or those that are about to expire, then even more.

Speaking of expiration date. Have you heard of dumpster diving? This is a relatively new movement that is struggling with overproduction of food by removing food thrown away by supermarkets from garbage cans. So, if hunger or the desire to travel overcomes the feeling of disgust - you can "slash" under a conscious inhabitant of the planet and dig a little edible in the trash behind grocery stores.

When traveling in the countryside, do not miss the free gifts of nature in the form of wild apple trees, pears, plums and other fruits and vegetables. In addition to saving on food, it is also vitamins. Always carry a bottle of water with you and fill it at every opportunity. It is impossible to get a drink - pour tap water, pre-boil for a couple of minutes and allow to settle.

Bukovel is a ski resort for everyone.

sergiy February 01, 2022

How much does it cost, where to ride, what to do?

Where is Bukovel Ski resort Bukovel is one of the nearest and accessible for Belarusians. Silichi and Logoisk do not count. Ukraine is very close. The distance from Minsk is 850 km. Approximately 12 hours of travel. Every winter, thousands of lovers of mountain trails spend time doing their favorite pastime. The winter has been warm this year. Many ski resorts in Europe were left without snow. But this is not about Bukovel. Even at the end of February, when the first spring flowers began to bloom in Belarus, there is snow in Bukovel and 60 out of 66 available slopes are open.The history of the trip to Bukovel Artur, an employee of the Rosting company, was going to Bukovel for a whole year. This year, with a group of friends, he visited the resort and shared his impressions. -Last year, friends told how cool they went to Bukovel to ride. After listening to their stories, I also got excited about the idea. Before that, I had been to Logoisk a few times. You can't really call it skating. And I really wanted to.Therefore, in November last year, I gladly accepted the offer to go to Bukovel at the end of January with friends who go there year after year. The guys are proven, reliable and experienced. So I'm lucky with the company!

My friend and I took it for three days, as we planned to take skiing lessons at the resort. And the price of training already includes the cost of using the lift. It's profitable. The guys who bought on the spot had to activate the package and ride for three days in a row, without the possibility of transferring days.

This hobby is new to me. So there was no equipment. Thanks to my friends, I did not have to waste time studying the topic on the Internet. They just told me what to do first. I bought thermal underwear, socks, a helmet and goggles in Vilnius. So it turned out to be cheaper, even taking into account the road.
thermal underwear set – 30 euros socks -10 euro helmet and goggles – 60 euros Bought a ski pass for the ski lift. three days - 102 euros.
