Travel Tips for First-Time Explorers: Your Ultimate Guide

Things to remember when one is traveling for the first time

Traveling is a truly educational experience, and thus, more and more people are traveling for the first time in their adolescence, even teens. However, it is natural to feel a bit worried in anticipation as one wants to make the most of each trip. So, we have compiled a list of ten tips for first-time travelers.

1. Start with a safe destination

If they still haven’t decided on a destination, first-time travelers are recommended to go for a safe destination; that is particularly recommended if the first-time traveler is a woman, given the increased stances of crimes against them. The following are some of the things that make a travel destination safe:

  • Low crime rates
  • Low gender-based crime rates for women travelers.
  • Good internet penetration so that you can easily contact your loved ones.
  • Proximity to traveler’s home, friends’ home, or relatives’ home. So that they are always within rescuable distance.
  • Should have facilities like A.T.M.s, hotels, etc.

2. Plan the whole trip

While you may take on later trips a little more haphazardly, it is wise to plan the first one thoroughly. Plan everything, including where you intend to eat, where you intend to rest, the financial aspects, how you are going to travel, etc. The whole itinerary should be planned in advance, and consideration should be given to the following:

  • There should be some reserves – of time, packing space, and money. So that you are not always rushing, short on space for carrying things back home, or are caught short on funds respectively.
  • Things you have learned from people around you or in online blogs. Research thoroughly about everything.
  • Your own interests and preferences.

3. Pack smartly

Developing good packing habits is the most essential element of learning to be a traveler. Some of what you pack is determined by the destination and the objective of traveling (clothes, shoes, fashion accessories, etc.), while other goods are essentials that every traveler should always have handy (a water bottle, smartphone, chargers, headphones, power banks, etc.) The following are some of the tips for packing smartly:

  • Target toward planning lightly. It is so much easier to travel when you carry everything in a single backpack or everything on your person.
  • Try to pack only as many changes of dresses as absolutely essential. A single pair of jeans is enough and can be worn with multiple shirts or tops, and you can wear them while traveling so as not to carry them in the bag. Don’t add winter clothes unless there is a chance of a change in climate. In case of a colder climate, take a jacket along.
  • Pay special attention to the toiletries, especially in case you are going to a remote location. Always carry soap, a toothbrush, and sanitary napkins. You can cut on makeup products, and it is highly recommended.
  • When it comes to electronics, avoid carrying non-essentials.
  • Don’t pack a lot of food, and pack only dry food or snacks if you must.
  • Always carry a water bottle.
  • Have enough space left for souvenirs that you may want to bring back.
  • Pack your more valuable goods, like smartphones your, wallets, etc., in a separate travel pouch that can be worn separately.

4. Stay hydrated

As mentioned above, one should always carry a bottle of water with oneself. Staying hydrated can be more difficult when traveling, and thirst can spoil one’s mood. One should always change the water in the bottle wherever possible.

5. Let technology be your friend

Digitalization, internet penetration, and the universal popularity of smartphones have made technology far more accessible and powerful than ever. When traveling, one’s smartphone keeps one connected to one’s loved ones, but it can also do much more. Let’s look at some of the ways you can use them to your advantage:

  • Use google maps to know your exact location
  • Try to carry traveler’s cheques or little cash
  • Use digital payments wherever possible
  • Set ‘Find My Device’ on your phone.
  • Smartphones can also make cameras redundant as they have powerful cameras in them.
  • Use note-keeping apps to remember things.
  • Use cab booking apps to book cabs.

6. Plan last-minute activities

It is easy to forget things in the last-minute panic, so we recommend making a checklist (using the note-keeping apps we just mentioned) of all the things you might want to do in the last couple of hours. Some of the things that can make it to the list include:

  • Packing things that you didn’t pack since you must use them in the interval (like toothbrushes, chargers, etc.).
  • Fully charging phones and other electronics.

7. Considerations for a mode of travel

The mode of traveling will also impact your experience. We recommend choosing the method of traveling that is most convenient for you.

8. Try local cuisine and street food

This is a tip we can’t recommend enough. You should always try local cuisine and street food at every opportunity you get.

9. Considerations for choosing accommodation

The accommodation or hotel you choose should not only have comforts but should also have a good reputation. Try to look for a hotel that offers a free buffet or at least has dining options.

10. Travelling safely.

Above all. You should try to travel safely, especially if you are a woman or an adolescent. The following are some helpful tips for traveling safely.

  • Protect your money, smartphone, and financial and identity documents. You can do so easily by carrying them in cross-body strap bags. Also, prefer digital payments and avoid carrying too much cash.
  • Always keep the batteries of your smartphones and other devices charged. Also, carry a power bank.
  • Use registered taxis. Preferably use one of the popular smartphone apps and always note down the taxi number.
  • Don’t show signs of panic.
  • Never talk to a stranger passerby. If you must ask directions (because you don’t have an internet connection), do it in for a (preferably crowded) restaurant or shop.
  • Don’t accept food or drinks from strangers or accept their invitations to lonely places.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s)

There are several questions that first-time travelers may have. The following are some of the most Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.s) :

 

Question: What are some of the destinations considered safe for first-time travelers in India?

Answer: The following are some of the destinations that are considered safe for first-time travelers in India:

 

Ladakh, Rishikesh, Sikkim, Nainital, Kaziranga, Khajuraho, Hampi, Varanasi, Pondicherry, Udaipur, Goa, Sikkim, Pondicherry, Mysore, etc.

 

Question: What are some of the packing essentials?

Answer: The following is a list of packing essentials that every traveler should carry:

 

A water bottle, a wallet or purse, a fully charged smartphone, a charged power bank, a charger, a pair of headphones, sanitary napkins (for women), a toothbrush, and a jacket (in case you are moving to cooler locations), a pair of jeans, goggles, hat, a pair of walking shoes, etc. Things like jeans, jackets, goggles, hats, etc., can be carried or worn rather than packed.

Top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore

The lion city of Singapore is one of the biggest tourist magnets of Asia – and very rightly so, its rich history has made it a salad palate with ingredients of many major Asian as well as European cultures. One of the city’s major tourist attractions is, thus, the souvenirs you can buy in it.

Here Ghoomophiro brings you a list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore:

1. Souvenirs that comprise of miniature Merlin

Singapore is anglicized version of city’s original Sanskrit name ‘Singha Pura’ which literally means Lion city. Thus, we don’t think we will surprise anyone that the official mascot of lion city’s tourism department has the head of a lion. Merlin is a man-made creature that has the head of a lion and the body of fish and the obvious choice for being the first in our list of Top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore. While the lion head of Merlin is representing the city’s original name, its fish body shows the city’s origin as a fishing village.

You can find miniature Merlin statuettes both as individual objects as well as products that are shaped like Merlin – key chains, picture frames, can openers, lighters, fridge magnets, ashtrays, cigarette boxes,  coasters, chocolate, sweet, snow globes etc. You can find them almost anywhere in the lion city and they are also one of the cheapest items on this list.

2. Kaya

If tasting Kaya once doesn’t turn you into a hoarder than see a tongue doctor. There is something wrong with your taste buds! Kaya is a delicious coconut jam and is widely used in the lion city as in making Kaya toast – the most popular breakfast dish among Singaporeans and thus the natural choice for being the second in our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore.  Kaya toast is made by filling a sandwich made of two toasted slices of bread with butter and Kaya. Kaya jam is made of a combination of eggs, coconut milk, sugar, and pandan leaves. This flavored jam can also used as a topping for some desserts and cakes. You can buy kaya jars at most supermarkets in Singapore. Kaya jam bottles are inexpensive too and we, Ghoomophiro sisters, made sure to buy a dozen of these bottles while returning from Singapore

3. Bakkwa

Another souvenir for foodies to bring back home from Singapore is Bakwwa or BBQ meat. It is made of pork or beef with a seasoning of sugar, soy sauce, and spices and grilled over charcoal. A favorite among locals and tourists alike. Its local popularity can be gauged from the fact that it has become the gift that locals give to their parents and friends on Chinese New Year. Bakkwa is a bit on the expensive side in our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore but this only makes it a gift to bring to your foodie friends back home.

4. Laksa Paste

Another yummy souvenir for the foodies among us. Laksa Paste is another traditional Singapore food item. Laksa is a noodle soup creating by coming together of Chinese and Malay styles of cooking. Locally it is made of coconut milk, prawn paste, lemongrass, and laksa leaves. What helps it in making it to our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore is that you can find bottles of Laksa Paste – the ready-to-cook paste made of frozen Laksa soup base. Like other food items on the list, they can be easily found all over the island and they are inexpensive too.

5.  Orchid products

The hybrid purple Orchid is the national flower of Singapore. And this is the inspiration behind the fifth of our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore. In fact, you will find it on display in the form a bright flower shining through a framed glass in most souvenir shops.

Besides the flower itself, there are several other Orchid-inspired products you can find in Singapore. Orchid Perfumes from Singapore Memories can be a perfect souvenir for your dear ones back home – or for yourself. They are created by blending several native varieties of Orchid flowers. The perfumes are available in male, female and unisex varieties. And these perfumes have captivating names that remind one of their origins – Orchid by the Bay, One Degree North (Singapore is located at one degree North of Equator). We recommend buying them from Orchard road.

 

Or you can buy Orchid framed jewelry for a loved woman at Changi airport. The jewelry includes these cute earrings that have a glass molding with a real flower inside them. A weakness for a woman. And an inexpensive way to please a woman for men – priced as low as twenty Singapore dollars.

If you are willing to spend more money, consider buying gold plated orchid products from RISIS – made of 24k gold.

6. Singapore Sling

If your tourist destination has given its name to a drink than your tour can’t be complete without tasting it, Singapore Sling is the world popular drink and it is also the national drink of Singapore. It was originally created by bartender Ngiam Tong Boon at Raffles Hotel’s Long Bar in the 1930s.  Originally it included a combination of gin, cherry brandy, lime juice, orange juice, and pineapple juice. Now though you can find all kinds of varieties. The bottled version of Singapore Sling is the perfect item to appear in our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore

7. Peranakan Souvenirs

Next in our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore is Peranakan products. Peranakan is a local community that gives its name to Peranakan prints – the prints worn by, for example, Singapore Airplane. All kind of fabrics can be made from this print – dresses, bags, pouches etc for both men and women. You can also buy beaded head weaved beads slippers. We recommend Peranakan crockery and cutlery but there is going to obvious trouble with packing or delivery etc – as is often the case with such things.

8. Souvenirs from China Town

China has a major influence on Singaporean culture. So next in our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore is Paper cut outs. Paper cutting is an old folk art form of China. As far back as third century BC, the paper cut designs were used for ancestor worship. And people still decorate their homes and workplaces with paper-cut designs for good luck and prosperity. Another souvenir to be bought from China Town is flavored nuts.

9.  Souvenirs from TWG

The famous TWG stores offer all kind of souvenirs that are centered on the theme of tea – tea-flavored cookies in different colors, teacups, handcrafted Tea Pots (including ones with a layer of silver, gold or platinum on them), tea jelly etc

10. Pressed Pennies

The last in our list of top 10 Souvenirs to pick in Singapore is a collection of Singapore pennies. The pressed pennies are elongated pennies that are then engraved with iconic designs. You can make your own pressed pennies by using automatic penny flattening machines that can be found at all popular tourist destinations of the lion city.

We hope you liked the list. Is there anything we miss?

As a matter of fact how much if it helps us is a thought for another day but today we bring you another marvel of the technology world which has been quite prominent since its arrival but has risen to fame recently.

With the rising popularity of Smartphones and diminishing fame of yesterday years, feature phones are setting the market, there’s another player in the game with much better specs and loves attributes: – TABLETS!

Tablets are more preferable for their gigantic size which helps the user to have a better multimedia experience and gaming usage with humongous battery life. Asus has been quite topping the list in A game and today we bring another product of its too light: – Asus Zenpad 3S 10 LTE.

Specification Sheet:

  1. Screen size:- 9.7 inches.
    2. Design : – Metallic.
    3. Weight:- 430 grams.
    4. Resolution:- 2048×1536 (2k display)
    5. Speakers: – SonicMaster 3.0
    6. CPU: – Qualcomm S650
    7. Processor: – Hexacore.
    8. Ram:- 4 GB LPDDR3 Ram.
    9. Battery:- 7800mAh with Quick charge 3.0.
    10. Camera:- 8 MP and 5 MP (Front and Rear).
    11. Network:- 4G LTE.

This new beast by Asus has just been revealed this year and already has created a lot of buzz with its larger than life attributes. Formerly, tablets were just a simple medium with less functionality. But now Asus has raised up the stakes and given the Zenpad 3S 10 so many wonderful features, it is clearly blowing our mind away!

Screen Specification

Let’s be honest, people thought the screen size for Mi Max to be humongous but Zenpad 3S 10 boasts a 9.7-inch screen with a 2k resolution! It is just a beautiful revelation for movie enthusiasts and gamers who can now enjoy their multimedia and games at such a bigger and better format. The screen just screams for attention and with that big size, it gets what it wants.

Design
The zenpad 3S 10 is made of exquisite metallic texture and diamond edge cuts which make the zenpad sleek and slender. The tablet is easy to hold and doesn’t slip away due to the friction of the back metallic structure. Even after packing this beast with so many features and wonderful hardware, the mainframe just weighs about 430 grams! Talk about engineering.

Sound System
The Asus zenpad 3S 10 comes with outstanding sound quality and boasting a high quality seered texture through Sonicmaster 3.0 and 7.1 channel virtual sound. Just when you think it doesn’t get any better, they have also packed some slick features for the headphones user too. With dts headphones, X and its-HD premium sound Asus zenpad are rocking your world with its mind-boggling sound system.

Processor and speed
The most sell out feature of a tablet is its ability to handle intense gaming hours with humongous storage capacity. With 32 GB internal on board, you’ll be able to download as many games as you could possibly fathom. As far as the performance is concerned, the hexacore processor of Qualcomm S650 is more than enough to keep things smooth. An extra 4GB LPDDR3 Ram is gonna spice things up a little bit and make the user interface run as fast as the stream through a valley.

Battery Capacity
With so many things on board to perform with, the juice on the tablet should be as good as its other features. But, don’t you worry! Cause Asus zenpad 3S 10 has also covered this aspect easily for you. The mainframe battery comes with a gargantuan size of 7800 mAh which also comes accompanied with Quick charge 3.0 which only makes the job much easier to fill up the enormous battery to the brim as fast as possible.

Camera

The main off put off many tablets has been the degrading quality of the camera. It has been a rising issue with Apple iPad. But it does not seem much of a worry to Asus zenpad 3S 10 becomes it comes with decent cameras of 8 Megapixel in the back and 5 Megapixel at the front. The rear camera is good in low light as well as optically stabilized. The front camera churns out beautiful selfies. However, the giant size of the tablet makes it a little less friendly for clicking selfies with it.

Network
This tablet is also equipped with 4G LTE network which can also support your jio Sims! (it costs now)

Overall, value for money!!

Tips: As you Pack your Footwears for Upcoming Travel

Footwear is the most important part of travel packing checklist. It makes all the more sense to look for basic things while choosing your foot-wears especially when you are on a backpacking trip, as you would like to not only ensure comfort but also it should be trending. Based on our solo backpacking travel experience, #ghoomophophirosisters came out with few tips that one should keep in mind while doing footwear shopping.
Trendy 
Footwears should be trendy enough that can go well with an evening dinner or for a morning walk or to your hiking trails. We still recall our early travel days, when we used to keep a different pair of shoes for different occasions, but over a period our travel checklist evolved and we started packing shoes that can go well with our clothing, are trendy, comfortable and carry off fashion and utility hand in hand. These footwears could be of any material from leather to nylon, but should look nice on our feet.
Airport-Friendly 
There are airports, which would ask you to remove them for security check-in. While traveling, it is really required that your shoes should be X-ray friendly and should not have metal, because, at times, such shoes waste a lot of your time while clearing security. Sports shoes, loafers, open sandals are good examples of airport friendly shoes.

Quality of Sole
Having a great quality of sole that can survive your rough hiking terrain and your long travel walks is an important aspect of travel foot wears. All good reasons, one would not like to go through the pain of wear and tear of your foot wears at least.

Breathable 
While you on travel, make sure, the footwears should have a breathable membrane to avoid bad odor. Open shoes, flip flops, does help here, but in case you are going for shoes, prefer high-quality membrane shoes.

Cushioning & Lightweight 
Since travel involves loads of walking, it is absolutely a great idea to wear light weight and comfortable footwears. One should ensure that their shoes have good cushioning that can prevent the feet from blisters. Lightweight foot-wears not only helps in keeping the feet happy but also keep your baggage light, which in turn is a boon while you have to take up a flight.

Waterproof 

In case you are traveling during monsoon, or on a hiking trip, It is advisable to have waterproof shoes. This not only help you to go with only one pair of shoes but also, improves the durability of your shoes. There are water- proof sprays available, which can be used as an alternate option.

We hope that next time whenever you traveling, you know what to keep and what to avoid. You may ask questions like how frequently a particular pair can be used, or can this be replaced by some other pair. As a traveler, you would like to weigh your options carefully.
Personally, we prefer Nike shoes or Woodland Shoes to sandals on our travels, though this may change depending on travel destinations, and activities planned in itinerary but our backpack usually has a pair of fashionable, technical trendy footwears.

Lifestraw portable water bottle- A handy water filter for bag-packer

As we were packing our bags for our treks to Tungnath, like always, we were worried about emergency water, and then I was introduced to Lifestraw portable water bottles, which are on-the-go portable filters. We were surprised to experience their efficiency as the filter was able to remove water-borne bacteria by 99.9% from the waters of lakes, rivers or streams, that passed during our travel, thereby making the water safe to drink and since then it has become one of the must-have especially during our hiking and trekking trips. To test the quality of water filtered by Lifestraw, we used water from the pond, mud water, river water and ice, which later melted. Though water tasted little different due to various sources, but yes, it was clean enough.

About the Product

The LifeStraw Go Bottle is simply an ordinary LifeStraw purifier integrated into a screw-top water bottle.The LifeStraw is fitted to the lid and can easily be removed and even used as a standalone filtering straw without using the water bottle at all.

  • Brand: Lifestraw
  • Colour: Blue
  • Includes: One bottle with filter
  • Material: Tritan, food grade plastic
  • Filter cleans up to 1000L of water, down to 0.2 microns
  • Features carabiner for convenience
  • No chemicals used
  • Quantity: 650ml
  • Price-1295 INR

The bottle doesn’t store filtered water. Instead, it filters the water as we drink water, which passes through the filter. Apparently, it requires the force of suction to clean the water.It uses the simplest filtration technology, where-in water is passed through several layers of extremely fine membranes. This filtration helps it to remove the virus, parasites by 99.9%. However, it is unable to filter sea water due to high dissolved salt content. It is made of BPA-free plastic known as Tritan which is being known for its ruggedness and hence bottle offers long term durability, especially in harsh climates. Due to its filtration process, the bottle does require replacement of filter, but it has the capacity to filter 1000L of water. In fact, a bottle does whatever is being promised at this reasonable price.

Life-straw Portable Water Bottle is well recommended as you are ready to bag-pack for wilderness, hiking, trekking or on road trips. This is a quality survivor tool, especially at the places where finding drinking water is a challenge. Kudos to the team, who came up with this innovation and brought the breakthrough in water filtration, which if tapped properly can help millions to drink quality water.

Add the 1Life-straw water bottle to your traveler’s kit today and contribute towards conservation of nature by avoiding littering around of plastic water bottles.
