Your travel style and itinerary should determine the kind of luggage you choose to buy. Choose quality luggage even if you spend more. Sturdy branded suitcases will give good mileage for years. But if you pick up bargain bags of dubious pedigree they barely last two trips. Hard luggage or soft? Both have their pros and cons. Hard sided luggage adds to overall weight, but it survives rough handling and also keeps delicate items cushioned. Soft luggage is more flexible when you need to squeeze in some extra packing, but you need to be careful how you pack fragile things. You also need to watch your soft luggage closely because these are easier to get into. In any case, valuables are best kept on your person or in carry-on bags that are kept close at all times. Before you begin packing clothes, take a closer look at your trip itinerary and pack only those clothes which match your itinerary. Are you going to be walking a great deal, swimming or hiking in woods? Will you be going to formal dinners or fancy restaurants? What will the weather be like? If we look back on earlier trips, most of us will realize that we rarely wear all that we pack. So it’s best to take less than more.

When you travel from one place to another your body experiences a lot of environmental changes. The climate, food, water and air varies from place to place. It is difficult for the body to adapt immediately to such varying conditions. This is the major reason for the occurrence of common travel sicknesses. The common health problems which are possible to occur while traveling are jet lag, diarrhea and altitude sickness. The changes in the time zone can cause your body clock to be disturbed which results in a condition called as jet lag. When you eat contaminated food, your tummy gets upset resulting in diarrhea. Drinking contaminated water is also responsible for this disorder.

Hence it is highly important to have a healthy diet and ensure that you drink only boiled or bottled water. Avoid drinking tap water and also don’t ever eat raw meat as they cause foreign bacteria to enter the body which leads to diarrhea. Altitude sickness is caused when you travel to higher altitude places, where the oxygen supply is less. Due to less supply of oxygen you may suffer from suffocation, which is troublesome especially for the asthma patients. Hence it is always advisable to consult your doctor before journey and take necessary vaccines and medication to have a safe and healthy journey.

Does your trip involve long hours of travel via road? Then there are many safety measures to be adopted during your journey. If you are driving a car ensure that the car battery, tires, headlights, fuel, antifreeze, wipers, etc are proper before you start your travel. It is necessary to take first aid kit, extra tires, route map and torch while you go on a road travel. When you are driving, make sure that you are not distracted by those around you and it is advisable to not use mobile phones while driving, which is the main cause for many road accidents. Driving under the influence of alcohol and harsh driving should be avoided. Ensure that you take your driving license and insurance papers with you.

Driving in bad weather demands extra concentration from the person who drives the car. Don’t drive beyond the speed limit and always have control over the steering and brakes, as the roads will be slippery during rainy weather. It is important to take someone with you who knows the proper route to reach the destination. Route maps will be of great help if you are not familiar with the place. All these precautions and safety measures will make your travel experience a memorable and pleasant one.
