The Traveller's Magazine
Travel tips. We ask for them and totally ignore them, few we keep in our minds but let’s be honest: when it comes to travelling, we mainly learn from experience and some things we just need to experience ourselves. Take’em or leave’em these are some of the best travel tips around.
Every well-seasoned traveller has them, even people who rarely travel seem to have them. There’s no shortage of tips available for someone ready to take-off and see the world. There are tips for destinations, packing, the easiest ways to get around, travelling cheap, what to see, what not to see… For general advice, it’s best to ask the experts which is why we’ve rounded up the best ten pieces of travel advice from this week’s #TTOT session on Twitter.
Top Ten #TTOT Travel Tips
