Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book。 I am offering my honest opinion voluntarily。If you’re anything like me， you love to travel but hate the stress associated with traveling。 So when I came across this book promising to offer plenty of travel hacks to lessen stress and costs that I always thought came along with traveling， I couldn’t believe my luck！ But was the promise too good to be true？In fact， this book delivers on all of its promises。 It’s a quick read， but it Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book。 I am offering my honest opinion voluntarily。If you’re anything like me， you love to travel but hate the stress associated with traveling。 So when I came across this book promising to offer plenty of travel hacks to lessen stress and costs that I always thought came along with traveling， I couldn’t believe my luck！ But was the promise too good to be true？In fact， this book delivers on all of its promises。 It’s a quick read， but it is honestly packed full of simple and sensible tips that can make traveling easier。 It’s broken down into different chapters that offer easy to follow tips on a range of travel-related subjects。 Want to save money on traveling costs？ There’s a section devoted to it。 Traveling with kids？ Planning a road trip？ Want to bring your pets？ Packing tips？ Handy ways to deal with documents or lost luggage？ It’s all in this slim volume。 And it’s immensely helpful。 It even offers tips for traveling around in an unknown place， or in a country where you don’t know the language。 This is definitely worth the read， and I know that I’ll be referring to this book plenty of times in the future。 And I’ll absolutely be using these tips whenever I plan a trip in the future， whether it’s in or out of the country。 I love that it offers information for car， plane， and train travel， both foreign and domestic。 Some of them are common sense， but most of them were ideas that I never would have thought of on my own。 This is a great book。 。。。more

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is an ok guide for traveling。A lot of the information seems like common sense （like weighing your suitcase before you go to the airport）。 Some information also seems contradictory or repetitive since the first list of "hacks" says that airline tickets are typically cheapest six weeks in advance， then later that tickets are typically cheapest four to six weeks in advance。 There's also a lot of information that I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This is an ok guide for traveling。A lot of the information seems like common sense （like weighing your suitcase before you go to the airport）。 Some information also seems contradictory or repetitive since the first list of "hacks" says that airline tickets are typically cheapest six weeks in advance， then later that tickets are typically cheapest four to six weeks in advance。 There's also a lot of information that is tied to websites， so it's easy for this information to go out of date quickly。 Some of it is also very specific， like tips for visiting Disney parks。 Especially given the pandemic I think the way we travel has fundamentally changed， and this book focuses a lot on how people moved around pre-pandemic。I see how this could be a useful book for someone traveling for the first time， but it's not the book for me。 。。。more

I was a bit skeptical。 Are there any Travel Hacks out there that I haven’t already heard？ But this book promises 651 hacks so I figured that at least a few would be new to me。 And I was correct。 Here are a few of my favorites。“Prices for flights actually go up the more times you visit a site， so use your browser’s incognito key。““Booking too early （six months out） can actually result in paying up to 19% more for your tickets。”“Websites can tell what type of computer you are using and will show M I was a bit skeptical。 Are there any Travel Hacks out there that I haven’t already heard？ But this book promises 651 hacks so I figured that at least a few would be new to me。 And I was correct。 Here are a few of my favorites。“Prices for flights actually go up the more times you visit a site， so use your browser’s incognito key。““Booking too early （six months out） can actually result in paying up to 19% more for your tickets。”“Websites can tell what type of computer you are using and will show Mac users more expensive bookings first。 According to The Wall Street Journal， Mac users are charged $20-$30 more。“There are also two bedbug registry websites where you can see if anyone reported your hotel。 Yuck！ However， that brings up a potential problem with the book。 There are a lot of URLs and app recommendations here。 Websites and apps come and go。 So far， about a year after initial publication， they are still working。 But what may happen a few more years down the road？Even if only 10% of the Travel Hacks are useful to you， you have still saved a ton of time by not reading a bunch of travel websites。 And 10% means you have 65 good ideas to improve your travel experience。 4 stars！Thanks to Adams Media and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

I really enjoyed reading through these hacks。 I found a lot of them very useful and found myself thinking， why didn’t I think of that。 I wrote down some of the ones I plan on using when I travel with my kids。 I like how it was divided up into sections。 I also liked how it was numbered so you could easily tell apart each tip。 The index in the back is super helpful in finding what you might be specifically looking for。 I definitely will be looking for a paper back copy to keep and reference for wh I really enjoyed reading through these hacks。 I found a lot of them very useful and found myself thinking， why didn’t I think of that。 I wrote down some of the ones I plan on using when I travel with my kids。 I like how it was divided up into sections。 I also liked how it was numbered so you could easily tell apart each tip。 The index in the back is super helpful in finding what you might be specifically looking for。 I definitely will be looking for a paper back copy to keep and reference for when I travel。 。。。more

I found Travel Hacks to be a very informative book for me。 Some tips I knew and were common sense but so many others were very informative。 Example: I travel in big cities often and had no idea that if the position of the Exit Number on the Green Highway Exit Sign is on the top right side of the sign then the exit is on the right side of the road。 And if the exit number is on the top left of the highway sign， then the exit is on the left side of the road。 I already found this information helpful I found Travel Hacks to be a very informative book for me。 Some tips I knew and were common sense but so many others were very informative。 Example: I travel in big cities often and had no idea that if the position of the Exit Number on the Green Highway Exit Sign is on the top right side of the sign then the exit is on the right side of the road。 And if the exit number is on the top left of the highway sign， then the exit is on the left side of the road。 I already found this information helpful on my last trip。 。。。more

Travel Hacks is a book by Keith Bradford that contains over 600 tips for travellers。 I love the idea of a travel hack book; however， I only found a handful of tips to be helpful。 If you are a frequent traveller， odds are you already know 90% of these hacks。 The chapters are organized into groups such as packing， air travel， road trips， etc。 but on more than one occasion， certain tips felt randomly placed and out of order。 There were also a lot of repeating tips throughout this book， but they wer Travel Hacks is a book by Keith Bradford that contains over 600 tips for travellers。 I love the idea of a travel hack book; however， I only found a handful of tips to be helpful。 If you are a frequent traveller， odds are you already know 90% of these hacks。 The chapters are organized into groups such as packing， air travel， road trips， etc。 but on more than one occasion， certain tips felt randomly placed and out of order。 There were also a lot of repeating tips throughout this book， but they were just rephrased。 For example， filling up your hotel sink with ice， keeping money in different areas to avoid getting mugged， asking for upgrades for flights and hotel， and more。Although I’m familiar with most of the hacks in this book， I would recommend it to new travellers。 The tips are short， to the point， and easy to understand。 It’s a good handbook to have for those who have less experience with booking flights， finding hotels， staying safe， and knowing what to look out for。 Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for this eARC in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

I haven’t done much traveling as an adult， but hope to change that in the next couple years。 So I was excited to get this book to see if I could learn some great tricks。 The book has 651 hacks that cover things such as airplane travel， road trips， packing， etc。， presented in short little one to three sentence bites。 I would say that at least half of the tips are either pretty well known or just common sense。 In addition， some of them I don’t think are accurate or good （the suggestion to travel t I haven’t done much traveling as an adult， but hope to change that in the next couple years。 So I was excited to get this book to see if I could learn some great tricks。 The book has 651 hacks that cover things such as airplane travel， road trips， packing， etc。， presented in short little one to three sentence bites。 I would say that at least half of the tips are either pretty well known or just common sense。 In addition， some of them I don’t think are accurate or good （the suggestion to travel to China to see their replica of the Eiffel tower as opposed to going to Paris to see the real one simply because it’s cheaper is absurd）。 However， I did pick up a few ideas that I wouldn’t have thought of on my own， such as taking a photo of yourself with your luggage before leaving so that if your luggage is lost you not only have a picture of what it looks like but also show that you own it。 Overall the book is a bit of a mixed bag， but for the novice traveler there are definitely some things to learn。 Thank you to NetGalley & Adams Media for this advanced reader copy。 All opinions expressed in this review are my own。 。。。more

I'm not an inveterate traveller; while I've certainly seen more countries than I've had years on this earth， some of them are because I've glimpsed or flown over them， and you can take a few notches off for ones I passed through without spending the night （hello， Belarus and Luxembourg， two or three times）。 So I could write a few tips-cum-anecdotes， such as 'don't worry， you can tote a half-full bottle of water through Istanbul airport because they don't give a shit and you don't have to worry a I'm not an inveterate traveller; while I've certainly seen more countries than I've had years on this earth， some of them are because I've glimpsed or flown over them， and you can take a few notches off for ones I passed through without spending the night （hello， Belarus and Luxembourg， two or three times）。 So I could write a few tips-cum-anecdotes， such as 'don't worry， you can tote a half-full bottle of water through Istanbul airport because they don't give a shit and you don't have to worry about the airside water-bottle dispenser that fleeces everyone else' and 'don't worry， you can tote nail scissors and anything you like on internal Jordan flights because they don't give a shit either'， but I could not hope to emulate the contents of this book。Not many people， in truth， could emulate the contents of this， because they are at times suitably bizarre。 So brief are the suggestions， tips and demands， I have no idea why some are even here。 Why can't you pack playing cards in your hand luggage in North America？！ （Speaking of which， this book is definitely weighted towards the US， with their websites and apps， and their rules for taking alcohol on board planes that are most alien to us Brits。）That said there is some sterling advice – the packing of extra stuff to beat luggage and weight requirements within the case of your travel pillow; the threading of chain necklaces through a drinking straw to stop them tangling; and so on。 The entire gamut of how to travel well is suitably covered， so we've left home with a mug and a coin in our freezer and are expecting to let our footwear join them， and we now know how to be of interest to zoo animals。 The book is designed to be a pleasant， light and easy read， so it's not hectoring， it's just two or three factoid-sized sentences per page （or a list that cheekily has every entry as one of the numbered tips herein） presented in a most readable large font， with a scarce illustration。 At least it admits to the traveller's worst bugbear， the uncontrollable hotel thermostat， and it loses much kudos for being so scaremongering and OTT about Covid， but it works at what it wants to do。 The very idea you should never carry your own backpack is a sterling suggestion， and I think this has enough to raise an eyebrow of both a true globetrotter and the passport-less Yank。 I'm glad I got to read it。 。。。more
