Families who go on trips together, ultimately, form a special kind of bond. Moreover, as the time of the trip can pass speedily, it is good for a family to make the most out of it. You would want your family trip to turn out to be something unforgettable. Hence, a lot of things need to be considered for making the trip successful. Here are five tips that will help you to make your family trip unforgettable.

Select a destination that is loved by everyone

To create unforgettable memories, everyone should agree with the trip destination, a location where all the family members spend their trip should be something that the whole family complies with. The perfect method to select a destination is to sit with your family and talk about it. Each family member should suggest a location, and then you can select your destination through voting. Make sure that each person of a family should be included when deciding to make the trip successful.

Plan it out thoroughly

Start your trip by planning it out. When you plan a trip with your family you have to plan it out thoroughly and hire a tour guide sydney. Everything should be pre-planned as planning it out at the last minute will stress you out and will lead to mistakes. The person planning in your family should plan out everything, from transportation to destination. Hence, start to plan your trip weeks before you leave to avoid mistakes and forgetting something important.

Communicate with locals

Socializing with the locals when you are with your family is always suggested. Interacting with them will help you a lot throughout your trip. You can ask them for suggestions about various restaurants and places. Moreover, if you are visiting a place where people do not know how to speak English you can polish your language skills by learning a bit about their language.

Select Souvenirs carefully

Select souvenirs thoughtfully as they will recall memories of your trip every time you see them. Choose unique things that you would genuinely relish looking at or using when you return home. Hence, get special items you can find only at specific places and display them when you return home. These items can be something as simple as a scarf, shirt, necklace, glass, decoration piece, etc.

Live the Australian desert

few weeks have passed since the last article but now it’s back on track!

Today I want to tell you what it means to live the Australian desert in every way, yes, you understood correctly: living not only in the desert, but the desert itself!

We know well that life is what happens to us when we are doing other projects, but we often forget about this concept and we do it only once the balance is restored. This is indeed what happened a short time ago.

The original plan

The original plan was to move for a few months to a small town between Melbourne and Sydney to gain experience in a different area of ​​Australia.

For some obscure reason, which I learned to call LIFE, my employer mysteriously disappeared throughout the seventh before my arrival at Lakes Entrance. At the moment the thoughts were many.

Something might have happened to him, or he might have found another person, or he hadn’t saved my number or even lost his phone.

The fact is that by now I was embarking for Melbourne and I knew that everything would take a different direction than expected, but I didn’t know yet which one.

I decide to give him some time until I land, in case he remembers me, but nothing. If I had been traveling alone I probably would have acted differently but, having left with my trusty companion of adventures, we took it as such.

Instead of taking the first bus that would take us to Lakes Entrance in 6 hours, we look for a relocation for Adelaide and we travel!

Leda had not yet traveled the Great Ocean Road , so it seemed like a good time to reorder the ideas in the workplace and spend a few days on the road.

2 ways to travel to Australia saving on accommodation and transport!

1) Air ticket: when to book it?

To find a low-cost flight you first need to consider several factors. The travel period, holidays and anniversaries that may coincide with your holiday, the sales strategies of the airlines will certainly influence the cost of the ticket.

From experience I can tell you what I learned and when I booked flights for my trips to Australia. Traveling in Australia and saving on flights is very feasible. There is a time frame in which the airlines lower their prices to be able to sell the largest number of tickets. Usually you will find the best prices between 5 weeks, for domestic flights or short flights, up to a maximum of 6 months before departure, for longer flights. I’ll give you some examples!

My first one-way flight to Perth, departing March 1, 2018, I paid € 450, booking it on January 24, 2018. Or again, Australia-Italy departing from Brisbane on February 24, 2019, making a 4-day stopover in Perth, paid € 435 with a reservation made on 12 January 2019. 

Tricks that can make the difference when you book a flight!

I learned other tricks that I used about “when to book a flight” from VOLOGRATIS . He taught me how to avoid bookings in the morning, as the prices will certainly be higher: those who have to travel frequently for work do not look at the cost of the flights by themselves and usually book tickets in the morning, leave the ones most dear to them!

In the same way it is good to avoid booking your trip during the weekend, the more people check the price trend, the more they go up! I usually book them on a Tuesday night!

If it is possible then, try to be flexible with dates, or at least to leave during weekdays, in this way you can surely guarantee the lowest rates!

For the rest, eyes open to new offers, promotions or new routes!

Now that you have your ticket in hand and are happy to have saved a few euros, you can go to the next step: book your accommodation!

2) Travel to Australia and save on accommodation, you can!

The answer is yes! Most of the people I met before leaving for Australia often ask me how I can afford to travel so much. Now I will explain to you how it is possible to do all this, and really don’t have to worry about housing costs!

a) Dedicated to those who are always on the go trying to feel at home and love a little comfort!

If when you travel in search of a familiar and comfortable situation, then almost certainly your choice of accommodation will fall on a hotel or apartment. This does not mean that you will spend a fortune, you will only need a more meticulous search in order to find the best solution for you!

The most used sites are usually Booking and Airbnb , but few of you may know that you can get discounts to use for your reservations!

Many regular travelers, for example, can have a 10% genius discount on Booking. The alternative is to ask for help from the public, by subscribing to Facebook pages such as “I will spend all my money on the road”. Here you just need to ask who has a booking discount, for both recommended sites, and our fellow travelers will be happy to help you! In return they will receive a small cash reward or additional benefits.

Other sites or applications where you can find discounts and benefits on accommodation are for example Trivago, Expedia to mention the most famous or the DreamTrips application for registered users, in this case there will also be a monetary return.
