Find the best travel deals, skip the lines, pack like a pro, and enjoy the easiest trip of your life with this definitive guide to making your next getaway smoother than ever.

Traveling is full of exciting new experiences and discoveries—but it can also be expensive, disorganized, and stressful if you don’t know the insider tricks to make it simpler. Travel Hacks includes hundreds of expert guidelines, hacks, and DIYs for staying relaxed while you plan, book, pack, and travel to your next destination.

Including more than 600 handy tips for everything from how to score discounts on transportation to packing efficiently and avoiding lines, delays, and crowds, Travel Hacks will make every aspect of your travel experience hassle-free. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or about to embark on you first trip, this is the all-inclusive guide to the stress-free vacation of your dreams.

It’s been over a year now and I have to admit, even I (who does not like to fly and would rather stay inside with a book) am antsy for travel. I miss my family and I miss being able to go somewhere. Not just a drive but go somewhere far. I miss the opportunity and dreams that travel affords us.

Which is why I was happy to read Travel Hacks.

With 600 tips on traveling, I let myself be pulled back into a world where we could hop on a plane and travel wherever we want to. (Or, in my case, somewhere that is family friendly that also has a pool.) 

A lot of the travel tips I wasn’t aware of (early Disney admissions anyone?) and some are plain helpful (air travel and kids). I think for a seasoned traveler, some of these might be common knowledge, but I like that it got me thinking about traveling again. 

Told by numbered hacks, it’s easy to read and gives tips on travels with kids, car rides and international travel. I’m going to flag the pages I want to re-read before any trip. I am a stressful traveler and I think a lot of these will ease that stress.

We haven’t traveled in a very very long time since before the pandemic. Travel Hacks got me back into the travel mind set as well as providing useful tools to make my first vacation painless. 

It’s the perfect book for prepping that big trip that you’ve now been planning for over a year.
