5 Travel Tips and Essentials for Your Next Vacation


Planning your next big trip or vacation? Learn how to with Travel and Lifestyle Expert, Author and Entrepreneur, Ariana Pierce.

From her own travel experiences while building or working with flourishing businesses — including online companies such as Superstar Nail Lacquer, The Museum of Ice Cream, and Style Shoppe — Pierce motivates thousands to change up their lifestyles and live incredible experiences with her lively, straightforward and actionable recommendations.

 

Here are five travel tips and essentials from Pierce to make the next travel experience an incredible one:

  • Keep it all together. Take a stylish Passport cover with you — it can hold a passport, money, license, business cards, baggage claim ticket and more. It fits perfectly into any size bag for easy travel and comes in vibrant colors and designs, just perfect for any fashionable world-traveler.
  • Stay near, not in, main attractions. Popular travel destinations usually mean a bigger budget but you can save while still hitting the hot spots. Stay in a neighboring location that’s a little less popular, and then head over to the main attraction for the day. Avoid high costs while still soaking in your dream destination.
  • Dream of world exploration. Use your Travelpreneur Affirmation Cards to help manifest your dream destinations and adventures. Each card comes with an area to paste pictures of the dream vacation as well as an affirmation created by Pierce, which she used over the years to manifest many dream trips of her own.
  • Travel with friends. One of her favorite travel hacks and money savers, Pierce suggests traveling with friends. Not only does the trip become a real blast, everything becomes so more affordable when splitting the bills. Share a room, split meals, and get great group discounts to spread your money a little further.
  • Keep stylish travel log. Jot down adventures, aspirations, and desires in the Around the World in Style: The Travel Journal. This beautiful journal will let you pen your travel memories in style, scrapbook pages of your travels, and visualize your next dream destination.
