Travel Packing Tips: Essential Advice

Packing is one of the lamest part of traveling, we all know that. Follow these travel packing tips to make the process go as smoothly as possible.

1. Choose your bag size wisely

If you opt for a smaller bag, you’ll pack less – it’s as simple as that. By forcing yourself to only pack within the limits of a small bag, you’re thinking lightweight right from the outset. This will help to keep you in that mindset through the dreaded packing process, and encourage you to ditch the items you just don’t need.

2. Only pack for a week

Even if you’re going away for longer, only pack the amount of clothes you need for a week. Based on the assumption that you wash your clothes once a week, there’s no reason for you to have to bring any more than that traveling with you.

If you’re backpacking, take even less than that. Everyone else around you will be recycling clothes and wearing the same things day in day out, so you may as well do the same. Go hardcore and pack only what you would use over the standard three-day period.

3. Leave out the ‘just in case’ items

If you find yourself going through your suitcase finding items that you’re taking ‘just in case’ you need them, they have no place in your luggage. You will find that 99% of the time you’re not going to use these things, and you can find them abroad anyway if you need them in an emergency. This especially applies to medication – unless you’re going to the back and beyond, you don’t need to pack backups of every form of medication as there are pharmacies all over the world.

If you’re going on a longer trip, these are the things you start to resent – the dead weight items in your bag that you wish you’d never brought with you. Avoid that entirely and don’t pack them in the first place.

4. Accessorize

If you do want to style things up a little bit and look a little more refined than the average grubby traveler, pack lightweight accessories. Jewellery and other such items create an easy way to make you feel more dressed up, and are the little touches that can make the difference between a day and evening outfit.

5. Roll!

When it comes to actually packing your clothes into a backpack or suitcase, master the art of rolling. Tightly roll up t-shirts and tops, and anything else that’s made of a relatively thin material. Pack them compactly in your suitcase and stuff them in any available space – tucked down the sides of other bulkier items, or in your shoes.

Once you become a rolling ninja you’ll find all this space opening up in your luggage that you never know existed!

Airbnb Hosts File Tax Returns

Airbnb, H&R Block Partner to Help

 Airbnb Hosts File Tax Returns

Airbnb hosts are overwhelmingly middle class families who want to pay their fair share and we want to help. Today, we’re launching a new partnership with H&R Block, the world’s largest consumer tax services provider, to help Airbnb hosts file their tax returns in the U.S. and pay income taxes on the money they earn sharing their space. Under the new partnership, H&R Block will offer discounted tax preparation services to Airbnb hosts and a range of educational materials and services to people who share their space with travelers.

As part of the partnership, H&R Block will provide a $20 discount on in-person tax preparation services and a 35 percent discount on online tax preparation services for Airbnb hosts who use the service between January 1, 2016 and April 30, 2016. Hosts can get the information they need to receive these discounts by clicking here.

H&R Block will also:

• Feature tax guidance for home sharers on the H&R Block website. Hosts can also use the H&R Block tax calculator to help quickly estimate their tax obligations.
• Provide educational materials on Airbnb hosting and tax obligations to H&R Block’s network of more than 10,000 stores and professional tax aids.
• Highlight services and support for Airbnb hosts in their electronic newsletters and blog.
• Conduct a webinar to provide tax advice for home sharers.

Airbnb hosts interested in scheduling an appointment with H&R Block can call 1-800-HRBLOCK or visithttp://www.hrblock.com/tax-offices/.

Most Airbnb hosts occasionally share their space and the typical middle income host in the United States can earn the equivalent of a 14 percent annual raise sharing only the home in which they live. This new partnership will make it easier for Airbnb hosts to pay their taxes and contribute to their communities. It’s also part of our ongoing work to support hosts and make communities stronger and more sustainable. Airbnb previous partnered with NRG Home Solar, one of the country’s leading residential solar companies to increase the adoption of rooftop solar and with Tesla to bring more charging stations to select homes across the globe, starting with the California coast. In 2014, Airbnb provided selected hosts in the US with the Nest Learning Thermostat, free of charge.

Note: Airbnb’s presentation of H&R Block is not an endorsement. Tax advice is complicated and you should do your own diligence when receiving advice. Airbnb is not responsible for any tax or other advice provided by any outside entity.

Travel Guide: 6 Things to do in the Maldives... Book your flight today

Travel Guide: 6 Things to do in the Maldives

The Maldives are one of the most luxurious, beautiful destinations in the world, but many think it’s just the beach life that makes up the country’s allure. In actual fact, there’s a rich culture on these hundreds of islands, offering much more than just sun and sand. These things to do in the Maldives will help you to get in touch with what this paradise is all about.

 

1. Explore the mosques

There are hundreds of mosques in the Maldives, many of which are often praised for their outstanding beauty and displays of expert craftsmanship. These mosques were built across the ages, and are a good touch-point for you to take a look back on what the Maldives may have been like before the resorts took over.

One of the most beautiful mosque interiors is Hukuru Miskiiy (“Old Friday Mosque”) in Malé. Non-Muslims must receive permission to enter.

2. Visit Malé

Malé is one of the smallest capital cities in the world, and the most lively, thriving place in the Maldives. Here you’ll find a world-renowned fish market, which is well worth visiting if you’re looking for something a little more exciting than soaking up some sun on the beach. Come in the afternoon to watch the fishermen arrive with their catch.

The National Museum in Malé is also a top sight, and one of the best places to discover the Maldives of times gone by, with artefacts dating all the way back to ancient eras up to present day.

 

3. Go snorkelling and diving

The pristine beaches of the Maldives are lapped by crystal clear waters, which makes them perfect for snorkelling and diving. Get in amongst the thriving marine life that can be spotted in the shallows and further out to sea, in particular among the beautiful coral reefs that light up the waters. There are plenty of diving companies on the Maldives islands that will take you out and show you the best spots to be explored underwater.  See more on Jetradar.com

4. Explore Utheemu

Small but perfectly formed, Utheemu is one of the most interesting islands in the Maldives. It was the birthplace of one of the most treasured figures in the country’s history, Sultan Mohamed Thakurufaanu, who drove out the Portuguese in the 16th century. There is a memorial in his name here and a museum where you can learn more, although no hotel or guest house. Day trips are available from many other surrounding islands.

5. Dine on the beach

All across the Maldives, there are restaurants and resorts that set up private tables right on the beach so that you can dine in style. These gorgeous settings are ideal for a romantic evening with a loved one, and there’s nothing quite like enjoying dinner with your feet in the sand. Look out for beach dining options when you’re booking your hotel to find something suited to you.

 

6. Bathe in the sun

Okay okay, we know we said there’s much more to the Maldives than the beach, but we can’t deny that this country has some of the most beautiful in the world. It would be rather futile listing the best beaches for you to find, as almost every resort in the country is fringed with white sands. Grab your flight to the Maldives, sit back, relax, and let the relaxed way of life wash over you.

9 Best Free Travel Apps/ Best deal ever...

9 Best Free Travel Apps

January 10, 2016

There’s almost no predicament in the world a travel app can’t get you out of nowadays, and plenty of them cost nothing at all. Download all these free travel apps to your device before setting of on a trip to have everything you need right at your fingertips.

For flights: JetRadar

We don’t mean to toot our own horns, but we’re pretty proud of our flight search app. JetRadar’s app searches through over 1,000 airlines to find you the best price for your selected flight, and it’s takes just a few taps to get it all booked. We don’t charge a commission fee and we pride ourselves on bringing you the best deals. 

For currency: XE Currency

The XE Currency app provides one of the quickest and easiest ways to compare currencies while you’re on the road. When you’re connected to WiFi, the app updates exchange rates in real-time, but the great thing about XE Currency is that it also works offline. Although it won’t show you up-to-the-minute rates, the app will work off whatever rates it found when previously connected to the internet. This is ideal for when you’re out and about and need a rough estimate!

For reviews: TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor is without doubt the biggest travel review website in the world, and so useful for finding honest reviews of hotels, restaurants, attractions and more. Download the app to your phone to have all that information right at your fingertips, perfect for when you’re rushing about and just need a quick tip-off about somewhere to eat or stay.

 For planning: TripIt

TripIt takes all the hassle out of travel planning. This app works with your email (but don’t worry, privacy setting are available) to map out your trip itinerary in just a few taps. This app is particularly useful for longer trips when you’re moving around a lot – it saves you from flicking in between emails all the time, laying everything out in one easy, consolidated timeline.

For maps: Maps.Me

A good map is essential for getting around a place you don’t know, and as not many of us want to lug around lots of paper, map apps are an ideal solution. Maps.Me is one of the best map apps around because it allows you to download the maps you need and use them offline – essential when you don’t have roaming data available on your device and want to avoid a giant phone bill. The app also has a route planning function, making it even easier to navigate unfamiliar places. 

For language learning: Duolingo

Great to use before you get away and while you’re on the road, Duolingo one of the easiest, simplest language learning apps on the market. Although it’s not available in all languages yet, the ones it does cover are delivered in bite-sized, easy-to-remember ways. Although it won’t make you fluent in days, this app is great for a base understanding of a new language, equipping you with the basic grammar and vocabulary to use on a daily basis.

For translation: Google Translate

The best app to use when you’re totally stumped and need a quick translation, Google Translate has advanced leaps and bounds over the years. Now, you can scan over foreign words using your camera to get a quick translation of what they mean – perfect for those countries that use not only foreign languages but entire different letters too.

 

For sharing photos: Instagram

One of the easiest, most beautiful photo apps ever create (in our humble opinion…), Instagram is a simple way to share your photos with the world and let people back home know what you’ve been up to. While other social media platforms can be good for sharing, the filters and features on Instagram are pretty unbeatable, giving you just one place to keep all your best snaps, an album you can look back on with fond memories. 

For keeping in touch: Skype

Chatting to friend and family back at home is essential  for many while on the road, and Skype is an ideal app for it. If both parties have the app you can call each other for free, but calling other phones across the world from Skype is extremely affordable. It’s useful to have a few bucks in Skype credit to make any phone calls while abroad – to book hotels or make reservations, for example – so as long as you have an internet connection you can connect to almost anywhere in the world.
