Booking early when you can, is one of my main tips, but these quick tips I have found helpful, even during peak season, like March break.

1.Relaxing Mood

Being prepared and in a relax mood may help you find it’s better than expected.

Depending on where to go, accept that it may be busier than you like and just go with it. There will be crowds at main attractions, top sites and sometimes for food. It happens when you travel to popular destinations or during the peak season!

2.Connect with locals

Locals are the best way to find out how to avoid most of the busiest times at certain spots and navigate around your destination.  

If you haven’t already found accommodation, try staying with a local by couchsurfing or through vacation rentals by owners. If you’re not comfortable staying with others, try citysocializer.com. Through this site, you can find people to meet up with for dinner, drinks or a show.

3.Take the path less traveled


Discover secret spots by getting to know people that work at stores, in hotels or security guards, taxi drivers, and bartenders. They can steer you to amazing sites and places to go that tourists don’t know about giving you two bonuses. One, an experience like no one else you know has had and two, it will be far less busy.

4. Pre-book and look for time and money savers


If you have specific things you want to see and do, book them before you leave, and the earlier, the better for availability. Keep your eye out for bookings that allow you to bypass lineups. You will be thankful you did!
Pre-booking can sometimes save you money. It’s happened to me before when the price was higher at the destination.

Brand New Tourist Spots: 2018

There's a lot to look forward in 2018, and here are some of the coolest attractions  from family theme parks to excellent museums.  😊😊 Let's check out...... Aerospace Bristol, England Bristol, is the home of Concorde. The supersonic passenger jet was largely developed here, and the UK assembly line was located here and all UK Concordes made their maiden flight from the city’s runway – so the last Concorde ever to be built takes pride of place. In 2017, a new £19 million  state-of-the-art museum  dedicated to Bristol’s airspace heritage opened to the public. Aerospace Bristol Human Tower Museum of Catalonia, Valls, Spain Valls, 65 miles west of Barcelona, is the place of origin of the Catalan tradition of building  castells  – human towers of up to ten stories, with the strongest forming the  pinya , or base. In 2018, the town is set to open a museum dedicated to the 200-year-old feat of strength and teamwork, and nearby Tarr...

Oymyakon: Coldest place on Earth!

Recently, in my city, people were very much disappointed with the schools depriving the kids by not giving enough holidays during the much awaited winter break. If you think that’s a matter of concern, come let me introduce you all to Oymyakon’s solitary school that closes only when the temperature falls below -52°C. Obviously the next rapid fire would be “Am I kidding?” It’s been a while now since I have been wishing to visit Oymyakon but the thought of living through the extreme conditions makes me shiver. Located in the eastern Yakutsk region in Russia, also known as the ‘Pole of Cold’,  Oymyakon   valley is the coldest place on Earth ! They say the lowest temperature recorded here was -71.2°C with the average being -50°C. Imagine, coldest, I understand but inhabited, that’s the strange part. Freezing at -52°C | Photo credit: Bolot Bochkarev/askyakutia.com Seriously it’s a matter of wonder for me to think how a population of approxima...

PNB scam: Nirav Modi with love

If sources are to believed, it has been in news that Mr. Nirav Modi has filed petition in the US court and the verdict was that, no banks or institutions, can ask his companies to refund the loans till further notifications. Yea, that's a good news for him and a temporary relief too.  My open letter to you, Sir..... Dear Mr. Nirav Modi You are a busy man, but I hope, you, by this time had managed to see the movie " Ek Tha Tiger ", the blockbuster starring Salman Khan & Katrina Kaif , especially the end part. Huh...it says that Tiger and Joya (respectively the names of the character played by the actors) have been seen in different parts of the world, yet not sure, and intelligence agencies could not trace them. It goes well with you too, Sir. Rumors are there that you are in New York, USA, till today morning there was a fresh assumption that you are in Hong Kong, though all these are not confirmed yet. Wherever you are, stay blessed, yea, I mean it and you to...
