The post Tips For Traveling Comfortably On a Bus appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>A pillow is your best ally for making sure you stay physically comfortable while riding on a bus. Whether you need support for your lumbar region or a place to rest your head as you try to get some shut-eye, pillows are a key ally in the fight for comfort while doing some bus travel.
Traveling on a bus can be a disorienting experience for your stomach, as nausea is a common problem thanks to your inability to see the horizon and the bumpiness and curviness of the roads. Take medication like Dramamine or natural supplements like peppermint to feel better.
Unfortunately, buses can be a noisy place especially if you have chatty people onboard or if your bus is old and its engines make a racket. Take some headphones with you, which will allow you to listen to calming music or watch a film in peace.

]]>No matter where you are traveling or how long the flight is, the number one thing which contributes to your comfiness and happiness on an airplane is the amount of legroom you have. Always try for aisle or exit row seats that give you space to stretch out, especially if you are tall.
Airlines have begun offering “upgrades” which allow you to move to seats with supposedly more legroom if you pay while booking. However, keep in mind that the cost probably outweighs the benefit and that there is a good chance that some of these seats will be vacant and open for the taking when you board.
The online seat map for flights is a great tool that you can use in order to “game” the system when looking for a good seat. You might see that there is a large section without any other passengers, which could give you lots of space to spread out.

]]>Smartphones are especially useful when on a trip, as they bring all kinds of tools and information to the tips of your fingers. From cameras to maps to reviews to social media, the amount of usefulness that smartphones provide cannot be denied.
Tech-friendly travelers are especially likely to use their smartphones while traveling, and many have encountered a dilemma: how can I use my device to its fullest potential while ensuring that it will remain charged and usable all day long? The best solution is to invest in a portable charger!
While it might sound onerous and burdensome at first, carrying around one of these mini “bricks” with a cord attached can be a lifesaver if you are a techie traveler. Rechargeable at your hotel room every night, carrying this gadget with you will allow you to use all of the apps and take all of the photos that you need to make the most of your day without having to worry about your battery life.
As we start to plan for our next trips, if you don’t have a portable charger yet, be sure to add it to your list of items to pick up!

]]>While you might imagine that a cruise would always feature sunny and warm weather, this isn’t the case. The temperature can dip into “chilly” territory at night and there always seem to be a couple of pop-up rain showers too. Take a rain jacket and a sweatshirt or two!
Cruise ships are built to minimize the effects of the rocking of the ocean, but sometimes, the waves can have your stomach turning no matter how resistant the vessel is. Take Dramamine or another anti-nausea medicine with you in order to prevent spending time feeling sick.
A key part of any cruise is the excursions that you can make when the ship stops at any coastal port and gives you a day to explore. Many of these excursions, however, fill up quickly and might not be taken advantage of if you don’t plan ahead of time. Be sure to do so in order to make the best of these stops!

]]>One of the beautiful things about road trips is the fact that, unlike when flying or taking trains, you can completely design your own itinerary and even decide to go on a road trip with little notice! If you do the latter, keep these things in mind to make the most of your trip.
While you might be used to booking hotels and accommodations in advance while traveling, don’t do this if you’re going to take a spontaneous road trip. This will allow you to travel freely and to not have to worry about being in a certain city on a certain night.
Flexibility is always important while traveling, and this is even more true when taking a spontaneous road trip. Instead of worrying about visiting certain places or being in predetermined places, why not just go with the flow and travel towards what piques your interest?
One of the biggest advantages of the widespread character of mobile phones these days is their ability to provide us with all kinds of information. While stopped to get gas or eat lunch, why not use your phone to search for interesting places to see near your location? In addition, a phone’s GPS function always comes in handy while driving.
