What is a Savvy Traveler?
Savvy: Merriam-Webster dictionary defines savvy as "having or showing perception, comprehension, or shrewdness especially in practical matters"
Traveler: Merriam-Webster dictionary defines traveler simply as "one that travels"
So what does it mean to be a savvy traveler and why am I writing this blog? To me, a savvy traveler knows how to navigate the ins and outs of traveling to a new place, what to expect when traveling, knows what to pack, helpful tools that can make your life easier, and how to both plan and be flexible. To me traveling starts from when you decide you want to take a trip and extends to the decision about where to go, to the planning and exploring prior to even getting on the plane/train/bus/car/boat, etc..
Let's just say after years of research (I know...it's a hard job but someone has to do it! lol)- I consider myself to be a savvy traveler. My personality and ability to organize naturally lends itself to the planning and exploring side of things, and I have a passion to learn about different cultures. Hence my undergrad degree in sociology.
I have helped many of my friends become more savvy travelers and figured I can share that information and knowledge with all of you. I'm excited to share my tested, tried and true tips and tricks, my favorite travel products, pictures, reviews of anything and everything travel related, suggested itineraries and more!
