So, which ones are you going to visit on your Georgian trip?

Being one of the world's largest cities and leading metropolises for art, food, fashion and entertainment, New York should be on everyone's travel bucket list. Whether you come to spend a weekend or a lifetime in NYC, with so many options, you can never run out of things to see and do.

In addition to the world-famous NYC landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge, there are many hidden gems around every corner. Basically, there is something amazing for every age (and budget), which makes the Big Apple one of the world’s greatest tourist destinations.

A common mistake visitors make when coming to NYC is staying in Manhattan the whole time. Although Manhattan is the heart of NYC, the other four boroughs offer incredible sights and activities you should not miss out on.

Apart from the iconic attractions we mentioned earlier, tourists love the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the Bronx, the amazing ethnic restaurants in Queens, the burgeoning Brooklyn neighborhoods of Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Red Hook, and the Staten Island Museum in Snug Harbor, just to name a few. I believe I've given you enough reasons to start packing your bags. Now, lets see how to do it right.



Packing for NYC requires a good strategy

There is a reason why people hire professional packers. It is so easy to make mistakes while packing, and the reality is you won't even know you made them until it's too late. Whether you are relocating or going away on a trip, packing your possessions requires devotion and patience. The best way to help you learn how to pack is to analyze common packing mistakes.

I know that some of you might think that packing is always simple and easy. However, for some, it is their own version of hell. With that in mind, I will cover the essentials of packing, and also talk about different types of common packing mistakes you can expect when traveling to New York City.



Common packing mistakes to avoid when going to NYC

Going online and looking for perfect travel destinations is one thing. However, don't let sloppy packing ruin everything for you. Let's see what kinds of common packing mistakes you can expect when preparing for a trip to the Big Apple.

1. Being late

The first on our list of common packing mistakes to avoid doesn't have much to do with actual packing. However, it is one of the most common mistakes people make. They don't start packing on time! Being behind schedule is never good, and it creates a lot of stress. You start asking yourself if you will finish everything on time, and then you make a mess by packing in a hurry. Next thing you know, you forgot to pack something.

The best way to tackle this issue is to determine how many things you have to pack. This information will help you determine the approximate time you'll need to pack. Furthermore, think about everything you have to do after packing. If you have a detailed plan, you can allocate enough time to finish everything. Always plan packing in advance, and you will save time instead of losing it!

2. Not having enough packing material

Ah, the wonderful feeling of finding out you don't have enough bags and other packing material (in case you are moving to NYC or planning a longer stay). Now you have to run to the store and buy more. But since you are trying to pack in a hurry, you won't stop to think about what to buy. You will buy anything as long as it serves the purpose.

That is the perfect recipe for spending money on purchasing overpriced luggage. Furthermore, you want to make sure you don't run out of bags, suitcases or boxes again. So, now you buy more than you need. If that isn't a foolproof plan for spending your hard-earned money, I don't know what is!

This is a packing pitfall you don't need. Carefully think about your belongings. Again, time plays an important part in this process. If you don't buy enough packing material on time, you will start rushing things, and that's not good.

3. Packing what you don't need

Here is where you lose the most money and time on packing for a trip or relocation. If you are staying in NYC for just one week, you won't need ten pairs of shoes, right? Besides, someone has to carry all that luggage. The more stuff you bring, the harder it will be to maneuver the suitcases through the busy streets of NYC.

When it comes to relocating to New York, you should be even more careful with packing. We all have plenty of things we don't use any longer. However, we still keep them because of sentimental reasons. Sometimes, not even because of that, but we simply want to have something. That's called hoarding, the biggest enemy of all packers.

Get rid of things you don't need when packing and the entire process will be much simpler and quicker. Once you eliminate everything you don't need, you'll see how easy packing actually is.

First, you have fewer things to pack, which means you need less packing material. Second, fewer things to pack mean you will finish packing sooner than planned. Third, unpacking will be so easy once you keep only what you need.

Voilà! By making the decision not to bring the stuff you don't need, you have saved space, time and money. Now that's a packing continuum I'd like to be a part of!

4. Not following the packing order

When packing, it is crucial you understand in which order to pack things. For example, if you are moving to Perth, Australia, you know that the weather is hot. While you don't have to throw away your sweaters and winter clothes, you can place them on the bottom. The same goes for NYC. Take the time of the year into consideration when deciding in which order to pack.

Also, your essentials box will have different content depending on the weather. Remember that NYC has hot summers and snowy winters. And the rain is also quite common. If you're expecting to sweat a lot, have a change of clothes within arm's reach at all times. In the same manner, if you are traveling or moving during the winter season, pack warmer clothes last so they are on top, and always have a warm jacket near you.

Of course, your passport, drivers' license, medications and other important items should always be easy to reach. When crossing borders, you might be asked to show a specific item to the border officers. If that happens, you have to find it and take it out of the bag. Imagine having to take everything out until you locate that item. Just no!

5. Not securing fragile items

Packing electronics and other sensitive items requires the most concentration and planning. Be sure to wrap everything tightly, and use packing foam for added protection. Also, do not forget to label fragile boxes when moving to NYC. If you packed yourself, but you hired a shipping service, they won't know what is inside the box unless you specify it.

6. Not making a list of all packed items

One of the most common packing mistakes is that people forget to make a list of all the packed items. You have to know the location of everything you packed. This makes unpacking a lot easier and faster. Furthermore, if you need a specific item, you can locate it in no time.

7. Not asking for help

Do not think you can pack everything on your own. While in most cases that can be true, having a helping hand is always useful. It can save you a lot of time. Just make sure to make a plan and divide belongings for easier packing. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will avoid common packing mistakes, and the entire process will be a piece of cake!

Mumbai is heaven for travel lovers as there is so much to explore and learn. In Mumbai, you will find beaches, trails, and rivers and so on. There is so much to see that you cannot possibly cover the entire city in one trip. But you can cover most of the place if you go according to the plan. You can use canva tool to make your planner. It will keep you organised.

Traveling to Mumbai is fun, but there are some things you should keep in mind to avoid getting in trouble especially if you are traveling alone. Solo women travelers should be extra cautious here too. Let's check out the things you need to avoid doing in Mumbai while traveling solo.

1. Don't ask for beef

India is a highly religious country, and cows are considered sacred here. So, avoid asking for beef anywhere in India. Even asking for beef here can get you into huge trouble. Cows can be seen wandering around the country freely, so asking for beef is a big insult to the culture here.

2. Not asking for less spicy food

Mostly Indians prefer spicy food, and even less spicy food can be too hot for people from other countries or people who don't eat that much spice. That is why no shame in asking for less spice in your food has. It is better than wasting food or getting diarrhea.

3. Drinking tap water

Drinking tap water or unfiltered water while on a trip to India is one of the worst mistakes you can do. It will make you sick, and your trip will be spoiled. Drink only bottled water and ensure that it is good water and not tap water disguised as bisleri.

4. Make sure other liquid item uses clean water too

Also, make sure that whatever liquid items like juice, milkshake, or lemon water, you get is made using bottled water and clean ice. If you shy about specifying these things, you will pay the price by getting ill and delaying your trip.

5. Having a small budget

Mumbai is a big city, and with increasing rate, you cannot complete your trip in a small budget. So, make sure that you carry enough cash or cards with you. Also, if you think that hotels or restaurants are charging you more, it is not true. You get the same rate or less as rest of the Indian tourists. Only locals of the region get discounted rates.

6. Forgetting to negotiate transportation charges

Paying for transportation is a huge part of your budget. Now, you cannot negotiate the process of airplanes or buses or uber. But when you get taxis or autos in India, be sure to negotiate a little, because they charge you four times the original price. In the end, you will have to double the price, but at least with a little bit of negotiation, you will be able to save some money.

7. Keep your luggage safe while commuting

Moreover, it is important that while traveling through public transport, you take care of your luggage. If you are not cautious about it, you will most certainly get robbed.

8. Not researching before you go

It is basic that before going on a trip to any country or city, you research it. Make sure that the cities you are touring are worth going in particular weather. For instance, if you land up in Goa in monsoon, it will ruin your trip, as going on a beach in such weather is not worth it.

Also, research about all the places, monuments, restaurants, and so on, you must visit during your trip to India. India is a big country with so many scenic locations to visit, that without proper research you won’t be able to explore it properly.

9. Not dressing properly

Contrary to popular belief, Mumbaikars or Bombayites are quite open-minded and modern about what you wear. But there are situations that require you to dress more conservatively, especially if you are a solo women travelers. Like riding the cab alone or going sightseeing requires you to dress modestly. If you going to a club, wear anything you want or if touring Goa, Bombay or other big cities.

But if you are touring a small city or a village, dress properly, like wear a full skirt and not shorts. It is all about respecting the culture of the place you are visiting so that you can experience it in full form. I hope these tips will help you avoid any unpleasant experience in Mumbai. Keep these in mind and have the best time of your life.

Mumbai has advanced a lot, so traveling here solo is not going to be a problem. Yes, as a solo women traveler you need to be extra cautious about your safety. Otherwise, it is an adventurous land, having mysteries and sceneries that will give you a lifetime of memories and experiences.

According to the geographical records, summer temperature in New Zealand averages at 20-25 degree Celsius. The best months to explore wild camping opportunities is from March to June. The region is dry and sunny during the summers, which makes it very conducive to camping. However, camping during monsoons and winters are usually given a miss. The surroundings become patchy and chilly from July to January, respectively.

What are the ways to Wild Camp in New Zealand?

There are two ways you can Freedom Camp or Wild Camp in New Zealand. Both have a particular set of guidelines that you should keep in mind.

Self Contained Vehicle

You can choose to camp out in a Motorhome or Campervan. If you are camping out in a Campervan, your vehicle must meet the 'Caravan Self Contained Vehicle Standard.' That is an NZSF 5465 Certificate issued for the vehicle with an appropriate blue sticker to show for it. This suggests you must equip your Campervan with:

• A functioning toilet
• Freshwater storage capability for at least 3 days
• Wastewater storage capability for at least 3 days
• Trash bin with a lid

Now that you have obtained a certified camper van, you are free to camp around District Council Land & Department of Conservation Land (DOC) Land. However, the rules and regulations about wild camping vary according to a specific council or DOC land. For instance, some districts will not allow freedom camping within a 1-kilometer radius of the town, or you may not have permission to camp for more than 1 night in your van. You can obtain reliable information regarding where you can camp on the local council's website.

Non-Self Contained Vehicle

If you are camping in a tent or a Campervan without 'Self Contained Vehicle Certificate,' then you need to shack up at a designated site that allows freedom camping for only non-self contained vehicles. These are free campsites with a parking lot and a toilet nearby. This definitely restricts your campsite options as compared to a certified Campervan.

Overall, you have the right to enjoy the beauty of the country provided you act responsibly and cause no harm to the environment.

Conclusion

Since wild camping is usually filled with road trips, roof racks on your Campervan or Motorhome solves luggage storage issues. Also, essentials like mosquito repellents, tents, disposal baskets, gloves, water bottles, first aid kits, sunscreen are a must when you are so close to untamed nature.

New Zealand is the best place to channel the wanderlust in you. The land of the great white cloud - as the Maori's popularly call it, has a lot to offer thrill seekers, families, and couples alike.

China is a beautiful country boasting its rich culture and centuries of history. However, for the first-timers, it might bring a culture shock. If you are one of them planning the first trip to China, you must be aware of certain important things to have a stress-free holiday in a foreign land. In this blog, we have come up with some essential tips for your first trip to China.

1. Get your visa in advance

Visitors need to have an entry visa to enter the boundaries of the Republic of China. You must submit the visa application at least 2 months prior to the travel date. If you are an American, submit a fee of $130 along with the application, flight itinerary details and passport to the Consulate General or Embassy nearest to your place.

2. Plan the trip at the right time to visit China

Visiting China for the first time? If so, plan the trip during the time that is best suitable for foreign tourists. In summers, China is sweltering and smoggy with high humidity levels that can be quite unbearable for tourists. If you want to visit the country with fewer crowds around, book your tickets for the off-season – October to March. The temperature remains and cooler and the weather is also pleasant.

3. Plan your itinerary well

China is a vast country with the largest population of the world. It is impossible to visit all the popular destinations on your first trip. So, we would recommend you to start from Beijing, Shanghai or Xi'an. All the places have different climatic conditions, so keep track of it while creating the itinerary. You can also include Qinghai region on your China travel checklist. The place has beautiful lakes, magnificent mountain ranges and spectacular landscapes.

4. Be prepared for the language barrier

Language barrier is the first hurdle for foreign travelers visiting China. To manage a week or two in the foreign country, it is important to learn a few common phrases in Mandarin, the most common language in the country. Cantonese is spoken in Hong Kong. English is turning into the universal language, but there are Chinese people who still can't speak it. To communicate with the cab drivers, always have your hotel’s business card. Locals can also help you go back to the hotel, in case you are lost.

5. Know about the censorship

The Chinese government has censored everything, from media to Internet. If you are a social media addict, we are sorry but you won’t be able to browse your Twitter and Facebook account in China. Sometimes, you might not be able to access your email. What you can do is, get VPN in your laptop and phone. Make sure the service is not blocked in the country.

6. Culture shock for westerners

Chinese lifestyle differs a lot with that of a westerner. We would like you to read about their culture and tradition before going to China. In major cities of China, traffic and pollution is a big issue. You will find people moving around with surgical masks on their faces to stay protected from pollution. Be prepared for squat toilets, they don’t have paper. Better carry a hand sanitizer and paper along!

Coming to the street vendors, you can bargain with them for the price but unless you want to buy something, do not ask for the price. You won’t want the vendors to follow you around, would you?

7. Get ready to be clicked!

The Chinese people outside Shanghai and Beijing are not much used to seeing foreign travelers, especially westerners. You might across some staring and some might even click pictures of you – just give them a warm smile. Don't feel bad as this is just their curiosity to find someone different from them in their country. Be polite to the locals but like it is always advised, stay alert and have your street smarts handy.

8. Stay healthy

Pollution is a big problem in the Republic of China. If you have serious respiratory problems, strike out the big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. One of the important tips for your first time in China is that if you are a foodie, be cautious while tasting street food. You might smell stale oil or leftovers. Drink only boiled tea and bottled water.

9. Stay safe

Crime against foreign travelers is not a common thing in China. Being a westerner or foreign traveler, you will not feel unsafe in China. However, pickpocketing is a common thing everywhere, so be safe. Considering you an outsider, the street vendors may overcharge you for the items. Lastly, do not drink in public and you can count your change.
