Melissa Biggs Bradley, the founder of the firm of luxury travel Indagare talked about her life hacking, which can make the trip more comfortable. Her company can organize trips to the most incredible countries, to the islands of millionaires, to charter planes and yachts.

Bradley herself spends about 3-4 months a year traveling. “I don’t have a favorite airline, the most important thing for me is time convenience,” she said and recommended the airline Delta for domestic flights and premium classes in Air France и Cathay Pacific for long flights.

How less tired in flight

I do not eat anything during the flight. Many flight attendants told me this secret. They try not to eat during flights. While at a super high altitude, the human digestive system is completely shut off. Therefore, when you leave the plane, your body reloads, and the digestive system begins to work more actively, which affects the overall fatigue.

Most people overeat because in an airplane it’s more like entertainment and a way to kill time. But even the food on the best airlines is salty, canned and heated in a microwave. So I try to eat a couple of hours before the flight, and on the plane I drink only water. When I began to do so, I noticed that after the flights I feel much better.

How to find a local who will recommend what to see in a city where you do not know anyone

For me, most travels are not what you look, but who you will meet there. A friend of mine advised in a new city to always go to a restaurant where there is a common table. There you can get to know the locals and get the necessary recommendations on what to see first in the city.

Take care not only of travel insurance, but also of stomach insurance.

A few years ago I was in Delhi, I had dinner at a restaurant and realized that I had gone. For me, this was the first experience of food poisoning in travel. My friend gave me a record of probiotics, I pulled out two pills, and the signs of poisoning receded. This is the craziest experience. Since then, I take them every day and always take with me on a trip - Pro-15. I also take medicine Pepto-bismol.

Probiotics accumulate beneficial bacteria in the intestines, and Pepto-bismol Acts as a preventive agent that protects your digestive tract, as a protective sleeve, and helps filter out bacteria that are found in contaminated water and food.

Sometimes it's better not to stay in a five star hotel.

In very popular cities it is better to rent a suite in a 4 star hotel, rather than the cheapest room in a 5 star hotel. For example, in Rome you can live in really amazing rooms. Portrait suites or in Barcelona in Hotel Arts and Majestic Hotel.

How to organize a family trip

If you go on a family trip, then assign roles. There are three roles: instructor, documentator and observer. Every day, the documentator must shoot everything that you see while traveling, another person must write down, and another family member is the leader of the group and tells the others what you see today. These roles can be changed every day.

In the end, everyone will be satisfied, and at the end of the trip you will have documented memories. Someone from your family can still take on the role of editor and, as a result of the trip, collect an album or video.

How a billionaire can sponsor your vacation

Many of the most incredible hotel facilities in the world today belong to successful businessmen who fell in love with a place and decided to spend time there, and also share it with guests who can pay. Dietrich Mateschitz, Founder Red Bull in 2002, he bought the island from the Forbes family for $ 10 million and built the luxury resort of Lausala. Or hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones, who leases more than 140 hectares in northern Seregeti in Tanzania, built hotels there Singita Sasakwa and Sabora.

They built resorts for themselves, to relax there comfortably, and not to earn. Therefore, at the Paul Tudor Jones Hotel you pay $ 3000 dollars per night, but get the service much more expensive. One gets the feeling that the billionaire is sponsoring you. At Lausala, you pay for a night for two people and an all-inclusive $ 4000, but you can literally be the only guests on the island.

Always stay connected for as little as $ 10.

Once a friend gave me a trip Skyroam — WiFi A modem that allows Internet access in most countries of the world. You pay $ 10 per day and use the Internet unlimitedly for 24 hours. I often use this modem at airports, as it is much faster than the airport network, which a large number of people use at one time. I recommend before taking Skyroam on a trip, check the list of countries on the company's website where this modem works. From my own experience I will say that the modem works fine in Mexico, Italy and Japan.
