\t\t\t\tHi guys! I\u2019m Malvika Shahi and I\u2019m doing my Masters in Creative Writing and Publishing at <\/span>Bournemouth University<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Travelling around the UK on a budget is quite easy, you can read all about it on our blog about Exploring the UK on a budget.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

So, now that you\u2019ve booked your tickets and are ready to go, what next? Day trips can be amazing, especially when you come prepared. To make your awesome day trip even more amazing, we have some tips that will help it be more smooth and fun!<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Check the weather beforehand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of course, you would want to take some cute Instagram pictures from your wonderful trip, so dress cute but don\u2019t forget about the British weather. Check the weather beforehand and dress accordingly to avoid ruining your trip by not packing a coat or bringing an umbrella.<\/span><\/p>\n

Map out the place\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before heading to your destination, map out the place and see how to get around when you reach there. Most places can be explored on foot, as everything is walking distance from each other. But even then, plan out where you want to go and save the routes for it in case your mobile data does not have good reception during the trip.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Pack a water bottle<\/strong><\/p>\n

We know that you can get water bottles anywhere, but why waste money on something that you can just bring along? Not to mention how great it will be for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Day trips involve a lot of walking around, and water will be your best friend during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the free places<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best thing about travelling in the UK as a student is that you can see amazing places, free of cost. Many museums, parks and historical monuments can be visited for free, take advantage of that and plan your itinerary accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Have some cash on hand<\/strong><\/p>\n

You never know what kind of amazing popup shops you\u2019ll come across, and some of those places don\u2019t accept cards, so carrying a little bit of cash can come in handy when you wanna buy a souvenir from your trip or get some great food.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Your student ID<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that your student ID can get you loads of discounts all over the country, so no matter where you\u2019re going, don\u2019t forget to take your student ID with you and ask for student discounts<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Powerbank<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, you don\u2019t need to go and buy a new one but if you have one, don\u2019t forget to bring it with you. One of the best things about trips is being able to take amazing and fun photographs, but you also need your phone for maps and e-tickets and you don\u2019t want to run out of battery at the worst possible moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many cafes provide power outlets but since you can never be sure, it\u2019s best to have a backup of your own.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Wear comfortable shoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

I made the worst mistake on one of my trips and decided to wear boots, which resulted in tired feet and blisters. Wear comfortable shoes and you\u2019ll thank yourself later.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So now that you\u2019re ready to travel, what are you waiting for? Go out and explore!<\/span><\/p>\n
