BREEZING THROUGH AIRPORT SECURITY: How to Avoid Hassle During Airport Security Check

Image
Sure traveling is fun but before you reach your destination there are yields and pit stops that you have to experience especially at the airport. Going at the airport may not seem to be convenient for other travelers, long lines at the check-in counters; immigration check; passport control and, of course, the security check. What I hate about traveling abroad is that you have to pass a lot of security inspection especially at the airports. I know I should not be complaining about this as this is a standard operating procedure and it is about my safety as a traveler, but going for more than three checks is quite annoying.  There are airports that implement a tight security, especially nowadays that terrorist attacks are everywhere. When I was at Istanbul airport I have to pass three inspections before I boarded the plane, good thing I was early otherwise there is a chance that I can miss my flight, just imagine how busy the airport there. As a traveler, I want to mak...

FLAT PACKING vs ROLLING: How to Save More Space When Traveling

Watch this video on The Scene . A lot of us face problems when we try to pack our things when going on vacation, as much as possible we want to bring a lot of stuff to maximize the space on our luggage. Sometimes our luggage is not enough to fit all our things when packing up for a holiday. So what is really the best way to save space on your luggage when traveling? I have read a lot of travel tips when it comes to packing your things and how to organize your clothes on your bags, there are ways on how to arrange your things in a convenient way.  Flat packing will make your clothes look neat and crumple-free while rolling maybe a space saver, expect your clothes to be wrinkled when you unroll them. Based on experience I tried rolling and folding my clothes and I guess both techniques saves space. It is just a matter of how you arrange your things to fit in your bags. To see which method is useful for you, check out the video above. video courtesy...

TOUR EIFFEL

Image
For some people, it maybe just a simple structure; a piece of steel; an architectural art, as for France, it is a symbol of power, glory, and prestige! People who have visited Paris may have different interpretations on how they see the Eiffel Tower, for me, it is not just a  tower nor a landmark, but a symbol of my dreams coming into reality.  Paris has been a dream destination for me and seeing the Eiffel Tower is always something I look forward of doing. I never thought that someday I will find myself in this city of love! My dreams and determination have brought my feet to this lovely city and I didn't let this dream to be a dream forever, I made it into reality! The first time I saw the Eiffel, I was stunned by its beauty.  I couldn't help but stare in awe, and I couldn't describe exactly what I feel, I think it's love, oh yes it was love at first sight! On my third day in Paris, I was scheduled to climb the tower, my Euro trip will not be...

PARIS ON MY MIND: The Louvre, The River Seine and the First Glimpse of the Eiffel Tower

Image
It was first Sunday of the month, and in Paris, most of the museums give free entrance to the public and I don't want to miss this opportunity. I woke up early making it sure that I will be arriving at the Louvre on time. I am anticipating a long queue since it is a free entrance and I was right. As  soon as I got out of the station, the line going inside is already long, but the good thing, it is moving very fast so I got inside the museum in less than an hour. I really don't like going to the museums because they bore me to death and I feel sleepy whenever I am inside, but this one is exceptional, aside from the fact that it is a must- see attraction in Paris, the Louvre museum is one of a kind museum in the world. Being the largest in the world, Louvre holds the most number of collections, from ancient artefacts to paintings, sculptures, jewellery and a collection of Western arts dating from 1800's. It has eight curatorial departments which include painti...
