ideas to help you when you to overcome such problems.
- When your car breaks down
Your
car breaking down in the middle of no-where could botch your travel
plans. It will be lamentation galore if you are driving with your family
for a weekend getaway in Calabar from
Lagos and your car develops a major fault. What will you do? There is
no need to panic. The first thing you should do is to get the car off
the road.
With
the car off the road and at a safe place, you can beckon at someone to
help you get a mechanic. As the mechanic is working on the vehicle, have
a taste of a popular local snack or when your car has been fixed, you
can drive to one of those ‘mama put’ restaurants to have a taste of
their cuisine.
- Lost travel documents
Amidst
thousands of luggage, you could not find yours. You become hysterical
because your travel documents are well-packed in the luggage. Passport,
Visa and other important documents are gone with the luggage.
If
you have taken out insurance on the travel documents, place a call to
the insurance company informing them that you have lost them. They will
help you in processing a new one. In the interim, report to airport
security that you have misplaced your travel documents which was in your
luggage. They may help you locate it.
Embarking
on a trip without planning your itinerary could cause a huge
interruption of your travels. In your haste, you may forget to book
accommodation. Thus, on getting to your destination, you saunter around
searching for a suitable hotel that is tailored to your taste. This may
be difficult except if you want to settle for a decrepit hotel.
To
pull yourself out of this quagmire and nightmare, visit Jovago.com, get
the phone number of the online hotel booking portal and call the
customer care number. Before you know it you are snoring away in a comfy
hotel that suits your taste and class.
- Misplaced your wallet
Losing
your wallet may leave a traveller quite disoriented and confused. This
is because without money you will be stranded during your travels. Your
best option is to reach out to some that can send you cash. However,
ensure that it is not during the weekend you are calling to be sent
money because your ATM may probably be in your stolen wallet.
- No Internet
Internet
now plays an important role in the life of an average individual. With
internet connectivity, you can access news and social media on your
phones. Hence, having internet is non-negotiable for some traveller.
But
if there is no internet access, what will you do? Will you leave your
amazing journey for home or look for a way to make your travel more
interesting?
When
there is no internet at your destination, they are actually
inadvertently helping you. Internet addiction will distract you from the
essence of your travel. It is worthwhile not to make an issue out of
this and enmesh yourself in what your destination has to offer you and
your family.
