When you arrive at your travel destination, there are things you should do to make your hotel room more comfortable and stay connected, according to travel expert Samantha Brown.
To create a homey feel in your hotel room, unpack quickly. This lets you relax and creates a home base, as you'll know where everything is or if you’ve forgotten anything.
If you have kids with you, childproof the room by putting duct tape over sharp corners, hot water taps, and outlets. Also, make sure to put your valuables out of view.
When you arrive, make sure you have all the apps you need downloaded, like a currency converter, hotel apps, and Google Translate. Also pick up a SIM card to stay connected.
Brown also says to test the bathroom fixtures when you arrive so you know how they work. Once you're all set up in the hotel, get right outside to enjoy your destination.
