The post Tips for Looking Good Straight Off the Airplane appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>The recycled air on flights is incredibly harsh and drying to your skin and hair, so applying some moisturizer to the skin and nourishing oil to the hair mid-flight can go a long way to making you look fresher.
Needing to look good after a flight is no reason to suffer from sitting in anything less comfortable than sweatpants during the flight. So bring a change of clothes in your carry-on that doesn’t wrinkle easily and do a quick change in the bathroom at the gate when you land.
While you’re in that bathroom, you can make a big difference by applying some light makeup and running a brush through your hair. And our biggest pro tip? Brushing your teeth and spritzing some perfume can make a huge difference in making you feel more put-together, even if they don’t affect how you look.

]]>Okay, we know that sounds crazy. In fact, most travel tips tend to suggest the opposite. But let us make our case. We’re not saying that you shouldn’t make any plans at all. If there are certain things that you know you absolutely want to see or do at your destination, definitely plan ahead so you can make it happen. But we recommend having more unplanned time than planned time during your trip.
For example, on any given day, make a plan for one or two things at most, and leave the rest of the day free to wander, explore, and walk around. Why?
Because the best things that happen when you’re abroad are the ones you didn’t expect. Like taking a sandwich to a park and stumbling upon a carnival. Or paying a visit to the mall only to find out that said the mall has a zip line inside of it. Or walking to a club at night just to come across the liveliest, most fun bar in the city.
Are these experiences you want to have? Then there’s one way to do so. Don’t make plans. Seriously. Just try it once and you’ll see what we mean.

]]>Sand dunes might not seem like much of a reason to get on a plane and fly to a foreign country, but that’s because you haven’t seen the Lithuanian sand dunes yet. They’re the tallest shifting ones in Europe and they’re so special that they’re even designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They can move up to 15 km per year and have covered entire villages in the pest.
If you love nature, you’ll love Lithuania. It’s 40% covered by dense forests, home to Lithuania’s five national parks and unique flora and fauna like roe deer, wild boar, cute hedgehogs, mosses, wild berries, and even carnivorous plants!
Even if it didn’t have that much to offer (which it does), there’s still no reason not to visit Lithuania as it’s just so dang cheap. Its capital, Vilnius, often ranks as one of the cheapest cities in Europe, with a pint of beer costing less than three euros.

Duration: 30 hours of driving
States on the route: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois
How much time it takes: About 2 weeks
Starting point: Chicago, Illinois

]]>Winter can cause flight delays and traffic issues, so always double-check your flight status and the weather forecast before going to the airport or getting into your car for a road trip. You don’t want to drive into a storm or show up at the airport only to find that your flight was canceled or significantly delayed.
You should always travel with insurance, but this is especially true during the winter when travel can be a little more dangerous or unpredictable.
If you’re from a warm place, you might underestimate how cold it will be at your travel destination. So err on the safe side and pack lots of warm clothes that will keep you snuggly even in the early morning on a cold day.
Indeed, winter days are shorter and colder, so you should plan to spend more time inside museums and coffee shops than outside hiking or swimming. Make your itinerary accordingly.

]]>With tourism only becoming more and more common, one consideration that is increasingly important when choosing where to travel is how packed the place will be. Kazakhstan is a bit of a hidden gem, meaning that you don’t have to avoid giant crowds everywhere you go. It’s a great place if you appreciate peace and quiet.
Kazakhstan is full of natural beauty, with much more to the landscape than just deserts. There are plenty of stunning lakes, canyons, mountains, and steppes to see, and it’s all unspoiled by the effects of overpopulation and over-tourism.
If you get easily bored and like to fill your travels with lots of adventure, you should definitely consider visiting Kazakhstan. You can climb mountains, swim in lakes, go on road trips, ski in the mountains, and explore mosques and mausoleums.
