Tube Tips

Image
Tubes and subways can be very stressful. Here are some tips to help.  source: Wikipedia #1: Keep to the left, when using escalators. Unless you are walking up/ down the escalators then keep to the left, this makes for a painful trip up, or down.

Tourists. #2 just as important, don't lug luggage. Luggage is just hassle awaiting.  Tubes are crowded enough as it is, bringing an extra bag, especially a suitcase, is just asking for hard work. Because the tube station is a fast acting, speedy, area you have to be fast, and, luggage is not speedy. Second to last is to use one of my favorite apps, City Mapper.

source: missvalerietan.com   Hi, Welcome back to another post by Tumeke Traveller. Today we will be battling one of the  crucial parts about TRAVELLING, packing.   Today I will teach you the 3 pair method to clothes packing, in Europe. Packing can affect your travels so much. I have had one major over packing experience, in Europe, where I was in a group and almost everyone packed more than 1 suitcase and more than 1 carry on.
