12 Travel Hacks You've Probably Never Heard Before

1. Enable Private Browsing

When booking flights or hotels enable your private browsing settings. Travel sites tend to use cookies to track your visits.

 Which means that they will most likely raise the prices because you’ve visited it before.

Using Google Maps is usually how you find your way when you’re traveling, right?

But you need the internet the whole time to use it, right? 

No!  You can actually now search a location through Google Maps (with internet), type in ‘ok maps’ and it will save for later use when you don’t have wifi or cellular connection.

Best part? The blue dot (your location) will move according to where you are even when you're offline making it much easier to reach your destination.
