1. Wake Up Early
I highly recommend doing this to get the most out of your vacation. After all I know it is a vacation and we all love our sleep, but if you can get up early one or two days I definitely recommend it:) Whether you go outside to watch the sunrise or go exploring getting the perfect start to your day will make your vacation even more enjoyable.

2. Keep Your Essentials With You
This will definitely save you if you are flying to your travel destination. Things such as phone chargers, cameras, and make-up, and an extra set of clothes. Just in case your luggage gets lost, or you need one of your essentials quick. I recommend finding a good travel backpack or bag and using it for all your essentials. Here is my favorite travel backpack!
3. Smile, LOTS
Trust me you will feel and make other people happier just by a simple hi, and smile.
4. Have Extra Cash With You At ALL Times
This is especially important if you are traveling over seas. You never know when your credit card may not work. So just to be on the safe side carry extra cash for emergency situations!
5. Buy Something You Typically Wouldn't
Splurge! You are after all on vacation! I think it's good to splurge once or twice when on vacation. Buy that purse you have always wanted or those sunglasses you have seen everyone wearing. Whatever that "splurge" purchase is just make sure you really love it:)
6. Take Pictures, LOTS
Whether you take some snaps from your phone, or your professional camera, I can't express the memories you will have looking back on them! I personally love my polaroid, and never leave it at home when I'm traveling!!! Here is my polaroid camera.
7. Patience
This is so important to have when traveling. If you have this you will more likely have less stress while on your vacation. As hard as it can be sometimes, stay calm and move on! Whether your taxi is late, or your hotel room isn't ready have patience and make the best out of each situation.
8. Laugh, LOTS
I think this is the best advice I can give, and that is to laugh LOTS. Let's be real laughing can make any situation better!
9. Journal
Yes, I know you are probably like what, I don't have time for that. I think along with taking lots of pictures journaling can be something cute to look back on! Whether you get up a little early to journal your experiences good and bad, or you stay up a few extra minutes late, I think its so very important to do:)
10. Don't Be Afraid/ Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
I can't tell you how many times on vacation I have stepped outside my comfort zone, and for some reason I always end up happier when I do so. Whether it's riding the tallest roller coaster ,when your deathly scared of heights, or riding that zip line through the forest. I think it's always good to push ourselves. Now I will say don't do it to the point where you get anxiety over it. Just simple things can make a huge difference.
11. Enjoy The Company
This tip is for those of you traveling with friends, or family. Enjoy the company, even if you are traveling alone. Enjoy the alone time and take time to do something for yourself. Either way spend time talking and just simply enjoying the people you are experiencing your vacation with.
12. Turn Off Your Electronics
Turn off all of your electronics for one day! Enjoy time just observing your vacation spot. I can't express enough how many benefits come from being off social media for a day or two, even just for an hour!
