#travelnuggets You can make nice underwater footage even with this cheap waterproof phone case. You can buy such in South America in bus stations, phone shops, even from beach vendors for quite cheap. But still make decent underwater footage. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Use a cloud! - Save your passport and important papers there. Make sure you can log in even if all your devices are stolen. - Save your photos on it, so you can take as many as you wish, and your devices wont get full. - Save important phone numbers on it. (Or keep them in mind) #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Zip bags are king! Put your electronics (phone, power bank, charger), money, passport into zipbags to protect them from moist, wetness, rain. Whisper: If you hike, you might get soakingly wet, or a big rain will catch you, then your pockets will get really wet. If you keep your money, or phone there, you might have problems. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Sleep is underrated! If you travel overnight, and you cannot sleep, you wont enjoy the next day fully. So always consider that you get enough sleep. Of course this depend on personal needs. You might need less or more sleep. But consider your personal needs. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets If you want to book tours cheaply, forget viator or getmyguide. They are really overpriced. But unfortunately you have to put in the effort. Could be interesting to automate it though.. Steps: 1. Go on google maps 2. Search the city where want your tour from. 3. Search for "tour agency" 4. Filter above 4.5 stars 5. Write to all of them. Something like this works: Hi! We are X people. We would be interested in tour Y. Would you have places for the date Z? Thanks in advance! Then 40-50% writes you back, and you can choose the best priced or best service. For half of the price of getmyguide or even less. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

Somehow we found airport lounges a good trick. They are helpful: - if you have to sleep overnight on an airport - spend 5-6 hours between 2 flights - you would combine these with drinks and food Why? - warm food - cold/warm drinks - comfortable couches and armchairs - shower possibility Do you agree? #airport #lounge #airportlounge #travel

A hard part of travelling is EXPECTATIONS. As you travel, see many new places, the better places you go, the higher your expectations will be, and you will appreciate new places less. Something to think about. #travel #expectations #thoughts #nostr

Long travellers, do you use airport lounges? #asknostr #travelling #travel

#travelnuggets Revolut is great. - Great currency exchange - You can buy airport lounge pass - Free withdrawals - Virtual cards - Disposable virtual cards - Insurance It worth to check the paid plans, because you might spare some money with it. We bought lounge passes with it, which where great. We could sleep there at night, and have a bufe breakfast. Also they have beer, maybe coctails, champagne. Unfortunately if you are a European, you do not have too much credit card options with free lounge pass. So this is an option. The Ultra plan is quite expensive, but if you would each month go to a airport lounge with someone else, it almost already worth it. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets If you have a cheap waterproof case. You might faced the issue, that the plastic case made the images shitty. Buy hand sanitizer, and clean the case with it, then wash it down with water. It will make it transparent again, and you can make nice videos under water. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

Travellers, who did 2-3 or more month of travelling. Where did you look for the info for your trip? I assume google, and not social media, or? #asknostr

If you travel longer, you understand, that if you have a lot of stuff, you will pack alot during your trip. Trust me, it is not fun! We are serious overpackers. Really! But we learned the lesson on our 6 month trip. #grownostr #packing #travel #travelstr #travelling #backpacking #backpack

#travelnuggets Bring a water purifier with you. It is useful to - remove taste of bottled water - filter water if you can't buy - reduce plastic on a long trip We found the grayl water filter a great choice for us, although it is heavier and bulkier. Its benefits: - removes viruses and bacterias - it also filters the water, not only kill the bad things - you don't need an extra container for it #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil

#travelnuggets Bring multiple bank cards with you. If somehow your bank card details get stolen or something, you still will have other cards with you. We did not have issues using a mastercard everywhere. But it does not hurt to have a visa with you as well. Maybe once an atm only accepted that, but we happened to use another one anyway. Also in one or two online booking, there were a discount for maestro cards. #travel #traveltips #travelling #backpacking #backpacker #southamerica #sa #chile #argentina #peru #bolivia #ecuador #colombia #brazil
