How to pack light for your upcoming vacation!

Hey Friends!
Packing should never be stressful when preparing for a trip! As mentioned in my previous posts and during my podcast interview with Thick Smart Authentic, I prefer to travel with a backpack and carry on suitcase. I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING... HOW ?? 

AND.... Yesssss it is possible and here is how! 
Traveling cubes are my savior for packing!!! You can buy them online or in your local Walmart’s, Marshalls or baggage store. I purchased Air Canada packing cubes at Walmart for 20$ CAD. 








Packing cubes will help you save A LOT of space when packing that way you DO NOT have to pack a check in luggage and wait around at the baggage carousel!

The packing cubes come in different sizes and numbers. I purchased the pack of 3; which are equipped with a small, medium and large cube.

To make life easier it’s helpful to plan clothes for every day of your trip! I always follow the weather to my destination that way I do not over pack. Also it is important to buy travel size containers for any liquids, makeup, etc.

The packing cubes are handy as you can roll your clothes or fold them. I prefer to roll my clothes that way I can add extra clothes if needed.

I use the large cube for clothes.
The medium cube for shoes.
And the small cube for undergarments, socks and toiletries. 

Once you pack all the cubes, you add them to your carryon luggage than any other items to
your backpack! 











I hope this is helpful to all of you !! 😃

Money Saving Tips

The  #1  thing people always ask me is how can you afford so many trips ?! 😨 Well definitely you need a source of income to be able to travel but what I always find helpful is using the following tips to save cost before and during my vacations: 1. Booking flights Some people may beg to differ but I find the best time to find the cheapest flights are on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. It is also known that the cheapest days to travel are during the weekdays. I personally use specific websites for booking flights as although they are third party websites, they determine the cheapest flights with most airlines. The top websites I use for flights are: skyscanner.ca or expedia.ca All inclusive vacations: tripcentral.ca or selloffvacations.com (there are walk-in locations across Canada as well). Also, for all of you that live in Toronto or nearby, I follow YYZdeals.ca - sign up for their email alert on cheap flights all around the world. There are always cheap fli

Solo Traveling Tips

Hey Friends! I felt it was so important to make a blog post about solo traveling as so many people have asked me how do I do it! I personally enjoy solo traveling as it gives me the opportunity to explore and move at my own pace. As nice as it is to have company on vacation, I love knowing that I can do what I want, when I want! I just got back from a solo trip to Atlanta and San Francisco and many family/friends/followers have asked me for solo traveling tips which I will share with you all below.  First thing's first, it is soooo important to do your research prior to traveling solo.  If I am traveling somewhere solo for the first time, I do the following: 1.       Research the safest places to travel solo. 2.       Once I choose my destination, I do a thorough online search of areas that may NOT be safe to be during my vacation.  3.       I search for different accommodation options; some people like hostels that way they can meet new

Welcome to Travel Niche Kish 💗

Hey Friends! Welcome to My Blog Travel Niche Kish ! I decided to start a blog to document my travel journey that began 8 years ago to share my memories and ideas with the world. Yes, I have traveled to places prior to 8 years ago, but traveling really became my passion after traveling for a girls trip to Cuba in 2011.  To date, I have had the opportunity to travel to 12 countries and 16 US States solo, with friends and/or with family. Every time my friends or family are planning a trip, they always ask me where they should go, what hotel/resort they should choose and what things can they do/see while on vacation. I must say, I am not an expert on all of the places I have traveled to but I definitely have learned  A LOT  in every place. I have always been encouraged by my friends and family to share my experiences, photos and ideas - therefore I have decided to create a blog doing just that :) In my blog, I will be sharing my past travel locations, hotels/resorts, attraction
