How to prepare for a trip during the war: simple but important lifehacks
Most often we look for a safer place for life, return home to visit our loved ones, again go to another country, where we try to establish our lives and our children without shelling and bombing. Regardless of the reasons for the trip, it is important to prepare for it. Drawing up a route, booking tickets, collecting a suitcase and many more actions take our thoughts quite and not always work out.
Therefore, we offer you lifehacks, how to get on the road with maximum comfort for yourself and do not forget anything. It seems to us that the most common force majeure is associated with forgotten or lost documents, delayed transportation and cancellation, luggage problems and blocking bank cards during payments. However, all this can be warned and, in addition, to do what you can do in Ukraine quickly and efficiently. So, more about everything.
Before the trip, scan all the necessary documents: the scans should be printed and even reset by a copy on a cloud. And it is recommended to store scans of documents separately from the originals. And keep in mind that it is scans, not photocopies that are considered to be a full replacement of lost documents. Ukrainians are already accustomed to non -cash payments and skillfully use a bank card almost everywhere. This is convenient and saving money is almost guaranteed.
However, before the trip, we recommend that the bank be warned about possible foreign transactions. First, both the Bank and the National Bank of Ukraine can change the rules of calculations by cards. Secondly, you should clarify whether the payment option is connected to your card in another country. It is advisable to close all possible payments and penalties, penalties, if any.
It even happens that at the border through an overdue loan or an unpaid fine, you may simply not release you from the country. Keep in mind that you need to pay all debts at least two weeks before the trip. Such a term is required to update the information in the customs database. When searching for tickets in the right direction on the Internet, it is recommended to turn on the Incognito mode in the browser.
Why, you ask? Very simple: when you get a route on the Internet, you do not know that the search engine "remembers" the interest of the user. When requesting prices for tickets through the aggregator, expensive options are immediately issued (they are the most profitable, especially for airlines). Enableing Incognito regime allows you to knock down the pantry system. There is a lifehack about reservation - it concerns plane tickets.
Some airlines reduce tickets a day (for example, Sunday evening is Monday evening). The one who boys the planting coupon during this period has 24 hours to redeem it. But not everyone has time (maybe they do not know about daily restrictions, for example). Then a ticket that was not redeemed is re -sold, but with an additional discount. From Tuesday night to Wednesday, you can buy it with maximum benefit.
If you are traveling by bus, then it is worth taking: a trip to another country, and even without knowledge of language-it is already a force majeure. To prevent the trip to a risky event, we advise you to download useful applications on your smartphone in advance, such as a detailed map of the country and an online translator. Many people know that Ukrainian chargers abroad do not always fit their sockets.
Of course, you can buy an adapter, but there is another option - to charge your phone from TV. All you need to do is need a USB. Modern TVs are equipped with connectors of the right configuration - they are usually located on the side. It is not easy to find a free high speed Internet abroad, and mobile on a "native" seven card does not always work. You can, of course, buy a local operator number and connect the Internet for an additional fee. However, this solution will cause trouble and cost.
Try to provide yourself with a high -speed Internet by looking, for example, to McDonald's. The establishments of this network are in almost any country in the world, there is always free Wi-Fi. Come in, order burger and coffee, take a table and enjoy the Internet. Collecting a suitcase, you understand that you can't put everything you need. And things are very rushing. Familiar, isn't it? So here: to put as much clothing as possible and to protect it from the fallout, twist things into a roll.
First, so you can fill luggage more tightly. Secondly, you will avoid cramps on the fabric. But from this lifehack, in principle, you need to start preparing for the trip. What should you look for when buying suitcases? First of all, the strength and reliability of the structure, the quality. Reliable models are able to protect the content from damage or theft, withstand load and transportation. Do not seek to save, suitcase is a thing without a shelf life.
