Stress Free Travel Guide

Stress-Free Travel Guide

Welcome

Hi, I’m Lisa! I created this guide to help you take the stress out of travel—whether you're a seasoned explorer or planning your very first trip. I believe travel should be joyful, empowering, and (yes!) manageable. Let’s make your next trip smooth, safe, and full of memories.


Top Stress-Free Travel Tips

  • ✅ Prep your documents in advance: passport, visa, insurance, and backup copies. Keep digital and paper copies of all important documents in case of emergencies.

  • ✅ Use packing cubes to keep everything organized. These help separate clothing types and make unpacking at your destination easier.

  • ✅ Pack light—but smart. Think layers and wrinkle-free fabrics. Choose versatile, mix-and-match outfits to save space and avoid overpacking. I’m obsessed with Unbound Merino wool items - perfect for all temperatures and odor free!  That’s a game changer.

  • ✅ Build flexibility into your plans—delays happen! Allow buffer time for unexpected delays or changes in itinerary. Make sure you follow me @chasingmemories.co on IG for all your passenger rights and your compensation rights! Please DM me if you ever need help

  • ✅ If traveling with kids, prep comfort items, snacks, and entertainment. A few familiar items can help keep kids calm and entertained during travel.


Travel Safety Essentials

  • 📱 Save local emergency contacts in your phone and written down. Include police, ambulance, embassy, and accommodation details under country-specific labels.

  • 🕵️‍♀️ Transit Like a Local: Use your Apple Watch or wear one earbud to discreetly hear public transit directions without constantly pulling out your phone. It helps you look like you know exactly where you're going—even if you don’t.

  • 💪 Walk with Purpose: Confidence is a safety tool. Walk tall, make eye contact, and move like you know the area (even if you’re relying on Google Maps). Looking sure of yourself makes you less of a target for scams or petty theft.

  • 🔒 Always read EVERY review before booking a place to stay. Pay close attention to reviews that mention location, cleanliness, and host communication.

  • 🔍 Use Google Maps Street View to preview neighborhoods. Virtually explore the area for safety, accessibility, and walkability.

  • 👜 Wear a money belt or use anti-theft bags in busy areas. Protect your valuables from pickpockets, especially in crowded spaces.
