Keep Clothes Smelling Fresh
Let's be honest; after a few days of traveling, things can get a bit stinky. And when you are traveling back home with a connection flight, things can get extremely stinky. From long hikes to even spending entire days exploring a city, it's only natural that our clothes will pick up some rather unpleasant smells.

To keep things more fresh than funky, a good travel hack is to throw in a couple of fabric softener sheets into your luggage. Not only do these dryer sheets impart a nice fresh scent, but gently rubbing one against your clothes can actually prevent annoying and embarrassing static cling.

Beware of People Being “Too Nice”

People placing bracelets or jewelry on you, stopping you to ask directions, or making small talk often either want you to pay for something or are distracting you while another person pickpockets you. It goes without saying that you should never accept food or beverages from a stranger, as this is also a common tactic to take advantage of tourists. Ultimately, it's better to be considered standoffish but stay safe.
