This ‘travel tips’ series is here to make life easier when you’re on a plane, another country or hotel room without a charger. We use these regularly and always lover hearing your tips and tricks whilst traveling. Hashtag (#atoll travel tips) to share them with everyone.
1. Stash a little cash
When traveling, keep some cash in your clothing bag separate from your wallet. If you lose your wallet or its stolen you’ll have enough money to survive.
2. Boost your phone speakers
Put your phone in a glass, bowl or cup. This helps increase the volume of phone without wrecking its speakers.
3. Give your loose change away
On the last day or your trip, give away spare cash to a homeless person.

5. Time for bathroom
Certain times are better to go to the bathroom to avoid waiting, just as the plane flattens out and as its about to descend are the best times.
