When it comes to travelling for your honeymoon, whether it’s visiting a new city, country, or continent, you want the experience to be as amazing as possible. You want to see and do everything you can and come back feeling like you learned something new about yourself, your partner and the world around you.
While many people think that planning ahead is the most important step in planning a trip of any kind, having the right mindset also plays an important part in making sure your trip goes well. To give you some advice on how to travel to new places without a hitch (mind the pun), here are five tips that will help you have the best honeymoon possible.
Do your research
This one goes without saying, but you must plan your honeymoon in advance. Take time to research together the best places to visit, the best restaurants, and all of the attractions you'll both want to see. This will help you decide on a budget for your trip and how much time you can afford to spend there.
Make sure that you have all of your travel documents in order before you leave home: passport, visa, etc. Pack light. It's tempting to bring everything but it's better if you only pack the essentials. There is nothing more of a mood killer than dragging oversized luggage across airports and through cobbled streets!
Remember, weight is one of the major factors when it comes to travelling by air so make sure not to exceed your baggage limit or you may get charged extra. Bring along comfortable shoes too. You'll be doing a lot of walking when exploring new places so make sure you wear shoes with good traction and appropriate support for your feet.
Talk to locals
When you're travelling to a new place, it's always good to talk to locals about the area. They can give you the best tips for where to visit and what to do. Plus, they know better than anyone what is worth your time and what isn't.
Stay in a safe area
When honeymooning, it's generally best to stay in a safe area. You don't want to be robbed of your new wedding rings or have your money stolen whilst you're having the holiday of a lifetime.
Avoid tourist traps
If you're travelling to a new place for the first time, avoid tourist traps. You'll be more likely to have an authentic experience if you stay off the beaten path and interact with locals who are less likely to approach you. Of course, if you do want to visit a famous landmark or tourist destination, be sure to do your research ahead of time and plan accordingly.
Have fun
No matter where you visit, you can always have fun. If you're looking for one of the most unique honeymoon destinations, why not consider Iceland? Iceland is a beautiful place with many things to do. One of the more unique activities is ice caving. Crystal ice caving in Iceland is an experience that every visitor to the country should experience as it's unlike any other ice cave you'll see anywhere else.
When all else fails, no matter where you are or what you do, remember to just go and enjoy yourselves!
