Flightsite’s tips for travel

• Travel light, one bag is enough, so baggage won’t be as much of a hassle to tug around
• Avoid all of the renowned restaurants. They have become gimmicky and now mostly owned by corporations making them more of a franchise. Eat at local cafes and bistros where you get better local food at a portion of the price.
• Use a guidebook. It’s a new location so having a bit of knowledge about the area is quite handy
• Don’t hold back on new experiences because of fear of the unknown. Try new food delicacies and local experiences.
• A money belt is a good way to keep your money and documents safe and in one place. It may not look very stylish but it is more difficult to be snatched or pick pocketed
