    Ruin your travel, 6 things that ruin mine

    6 things that can ruin you travel Just approach for a normal traveller that can ruin your travel this episode not talking about the pandemic but I will in future episodes. Forgetting about your documents This app for android will show you what visas do you need when visiting a country.  The link for the Play Store.  World Traveller app  I use the free version you do not have to pay for it. The weather Check the weather and seasons of the location that you want to go, sometimes can have good discounts in low seasons, just check if you are not booking in the hurricane season. Expensive Well your money how much can you stretch it, will approach how to save in money conversion, in a  future podcast. Bad Food Cuba the all-inclusive, the food is not great. Traveller diarrhoea, take some medication with you,  Imodium (loperamide) the best, but be careful sometimes it can just delay a serious disease. If it does not stop, go to a doctor. Noisy people or Environment About the product, use earplugs and Laser Lit they are disposable but there are many types of earplugs reusable ones even. I leave some links in this description. Alinsea 60 Pairs Soft Foam Ear Plugs Amazon  LASER LITE Earplugs WRAPPED eBay The Active Noise-cancelling headphones Bluetooth for commuting or annoying neighbours.  Sony WH-1000XM3   the best that you can buy get optimal performance but very expensive Mpow H12 this is upgraded version they look different but are stronger and lighter. At the moment they have a  promotion with 15 pounds of discount so they are very cheap, just have a look. So noise can ruin your travelling yes but with simple strategies,  You can save your noise pollution with ANC headphones or save your sleep with the same earplugs and face mask.  Do not let noise ruin your holidays. Uncomfortable beds Reading reviews before booking a place can give important clues, remember there are cultural differences in beds, America big beds, Europe medium beds, Japan small beds.

  3. Malaga Spain 5 Goods and Bads

    Malaga Spain 5 Goods and Bads

    This was the first trip that I did with my actual wife and we spend a week in there. The warm weather Malaga belongs to the Costa del sol 320 days of sun all year good place to be. The castle of Gibralfaro build in 929 AD in the top of the mount and have Alcazaba that was build in the early 11 century is a representation of beautiful Arabic art and many years that south of Spain was under Moorish rule. You can go up the hill and gives a good view of the city, great sunset and night lights view it is free to visit both places from 2 pm to 8 pm. Note by Madonna "if a guy likes you, you need to take advantage on the first week" There is art all over the city, statues, painting, Murals, it was the birthplace of Picasso and have the house that he was born, but that it is just house where he was born. The food in the city you have EL PIMPI, not he cheapest but offer very interesting dishes like la fritada many fry fishes price around 25 euros enough for 3 people ask same Aleoli (garlic mayonnaise sauce ) and lemon with some beer in the hot day tastes great. Go to Frigiliana a small white village Frigiliana Images Google we had the best paella rice in the plaza de las tres cultures there is a group of restaurants in there. Playa de Maro in the region Nerja clear water with white sand and a great view. Malaga is close to other places go to Frigiliana, Caminito del Rey, Ronda even if you have the patient to drive can do a day trip to Seville The bad Parking is a problem in the city most of the places are paid, I was able to find free parking on AV. De Jorge Silvela next to the dry river, there is some residential houses and empty spaces to park the car not paid. It does not mean things change in the last year. The English guide in Caminito Del Rey he was able to speak English or Spanish was a mess, any way to go there book in advance and reserve tickets with no guide is cheaper. Google maps after Caminito del Rey send me to the middle of the mountain on a dirt road with obstacles. It was the shortest way but the worst road ever. Rent house we use Airbnb was nice apartment very simple way cheaper than the hotels in the city. Use the link to book Airbnb to get a discount on your first trip.
