Traveling With Pets? 6 Things You Need To Know

Published

What’s better than going on vacation? Bringing your pet along for the fun, of course. But before you make travel plans that involve your pet, know that having an animal at your side can make things more complicated.

Here’s what you should know about traveling with pets.

First, research pet travel requirements for the country or countries you are visiting ahead of time. A simple Google search can help you find government sites that offer pet immigration information. Some countries require vaccinations several months before travel; some require parasite testing 24-48 hours before your visit.

Note that when you get to the airport, the Transportation Screening Administration has special screening rules for pets.  Rules vary by airline, so be sure to check with yours before booking your ticket. If it’s possible, have your pet fly with you in the cabin. If your pet is too large to meet the size requirements, you’ll have to fly them in the cargo area. Keep in mind, however, that not all airlines allow this option. For those that do, the fee will likely be higher than flying in the cabin.

You’ll also need to prepare your pet’s carrier. Ensure there is a “live animal” sticker on every side of the carrier, and attach a note with your name, flight number, contact information and dog information. Consider attaching an extra bag of food to the outside of the carrier in case there are any major delays. Again, the carrier should be big enough that your pet can stand, turn around and lie down easily.

Regardless of whether your pet flies cabin or cargo, you’ll need to time your pet’s feeding and potty breaks just right. Many major airports have pet relief areas so animals can go one more time before boarding, but if that’s not an option, you will need to bring potty pads in their carrier.

Keeping Your Pet Calm And Safe While Traveling

No matter what method you’re using to travel, there are a few safety precautions you can take to make sure your pet is always safe. It is a good idea when traveling with pets to pack a first-aid kit containing the following:alcohol wipes, hydrogen peroxide, adhesive tape, bandages.

When In Doubt, Keep Your Pet At Home

As much as you’d like to keep your furry loved ones at your side at all times, travel can be too risky and stressful for some animals. If your pet is particularly nervous, susceptible to changes in temperature or could use a couple of rounds of obedience training, it’s probably best for you both to leave them at home with a trusted sitter.

Published

By

If you’re single and you like to travel alone, that doesn’t mean you have to be bored or lonely through out your trip.

You can make new friends on your trip just ensure they are trustworthy before you start spilling personal information about yourself.

With that said, you may not want to go to a bar or night club to to meet new people,  but there are other fun places you can do that.

Here are 10 places to meet singles while travelling alone.

Shopping Malls/Clothing Stores

Studies have shown that men are less likely to purchase things online, so if you’re interested in meeting a stylish guy while on vacation, visit shopping malls.

Volunteering

Just because you’re traveling, that doesn’t mean you can’t volunteer. Some people go on vacation just to volunteer and give back. Volunteering is a fantastic way to meet someone incredible and still do something that you’ll feel good about at the end of the day. Just think about it, meeting someone while volunteering is the ultimate good first impression!

The Gym

Just because you’re traveling doesn’t mean you should skip out on your workout routine — specifically your weight training. When you venture into the weight room (or even the area where the weight machines are), you can ask someone you’re interested in to spot you. This can work for men and women.

Festivals and Events

Depending on where and when you go, there may be a festival or an event going on. When you attend one of these events, not only are you getting a taste of the culture of the area, but you can also meet some interesting people.

Train station

Classes

Whether you’re attending a class on how to cook local food, how to dance, or going on a historical tour of the area, these are all great opportunities to meet singles, be they local or fellow travelers like yourself.

Perfect Travel Guide For A Gentleman

Published

on

By

Good news! The airports will be opened for international flights soon, so if you want to take a trip soon, we have a few tips for you.

Packing for a trip can be overwhelming for some people,  not only will you need to pack all of your work essentials – including important documents, your laptop, maybe even a tablet – you’ll also need to take enough clothes to cover both lunch meetings and a round of drinks with a client in the evening.

Here are some time-saving, stress-easing tips for travelling in style when on business.

Wear slip-on shoes

 When travelling out of the country, you sure do not want to go through the stress of undoing and retying laces at security. So a nice pair of slip on footwear saves you hassle at the metal detector. Taking them off and putting them back on is easy.

Outfits

Take classic and versatile pieces so as to keep your luggage very light.  You should also stick to neutral colours for the most part – grey, navy, white, black and a little brown.

Luggage

Get a wheeled luggage that’s small enough to qualify as a “carry-on”. The best part is, wheels make life much easier, especially when wearing a suit.

Other Tips

– Use small wheeled luggage or a holdall that qualifies as ‘carry-on’ wherever possible – you’ll appreciate the benefits of packing light when you don’t have to queue to check-in a suitcase
– Store your phone, wallet and loose change in the inside of your jacket pocket – you can simply remove your jacket when walking through metal detectors
– Pack smartly – place essentials such as reading material and headphones at the top of your bag so you don’t have to search for them
– Leave your belt, neatly rolled, in your carry on – it will save you taking it off during customs searches
– Similarly, wear loafers or slip-on shoes – they can be easily removed through customs

– Keep your passport in a jacket pocket – it saves you reaching in and out of your bag
