From researching local customs to packing like a pro, here are seven ways to stay cool, calm and collected when travelling in the silly season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Avoid peak travel times<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12620 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/avoid-peak-travel-times.png\" alt=\"avoid peak travel times\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/avoid-peak-travel-times.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/avoid-peak-travel-times-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/avoid-peak-travel-times-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/avoid-peak-travel-times-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By avoiding travel on popular dates like New Year&#8217;s Eve, you&#8217;ll not only skip the crowds but also the inflated flight prices. Be savvy with your travel dates and opt for an overseas adventure either side of the Christmas break.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Pack wisely<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12621 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/pack-wisely.png\" alt=\"people packing wisely \" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pack-wisely.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pack-wisely-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pack-wisely-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/pack-wisely-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Save yourself the stress of lugging around a bulging suitcase \u00a0and follow the simple mantra, &#8216;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">if you&#8217;re not sure you should bring it, don&#8217;t<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216;. The lighter the bag, the better. Always. Think clothing essentials, pint-sized toiletries and packing cubes (a true life-saver!). <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Plan routes to airports in advance<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/plan-routes.png\" alt=\"plan your travel routes\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/plan-routes.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/plan-routes-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/plan-routes-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/plan-routes-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before arriving at the airport, make sure you&#8217;ve researched public transport delays, weather conditions, or booked taxis and\/or train tickets in advance. Don&#8217;t forget to pack the night before, too. You never know when that extra bit of time will come in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>4. Research your destination, including local customs<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/cultural-customs.png\" alt=\"research cultural customs to help find your wellness on the road\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cultural-customs.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cultural-customs-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cultural-customs-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/cultural-customs-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There&#8217;s a reason the phrase, &#8216;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Know Before You Go<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8216; exists. Researching your destination before you depart can save you a lot of hassle and frustration in the moment. Prior knowledge of the way things work \u2013 like train travel in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/en-us\/destinations\/asia\/india\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">India<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, for example \u2013 can save you time, effort <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> money. By understanding why people do the things they do, you&#8217;ll be able to appreciate a country&#8217;s customs, while opening your mind to new experiences and enriching your time there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>5. Give back to communities<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12624 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/back-to-communities.png\" alt=\"give back to communities to help find your wellness on the road\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/back-to-communities.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/back-to-communities-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/back-to-communities-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/back-to-communities-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hot tip: Don&#8217;t fill your suitcase with souvenirs that won&#8217;t last the year! If gift-buying is necessary, opt for handmade foods and handicrafts to support local artisans and small businesses. When visiting Jordan, your visit to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/jordan-experience\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Iraq Al Amir Women&#8217;s Co Operative<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will not only help the local women to gain financial independence, but it will give you the opportunity to purchase a memento that is culturally relevant to the region you&#8217;re visiting. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>6. Take time to include rest days in your itinerary<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12625 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/relaxing.png\" alt=\"woman relaxing while travelling\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/relaxing.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/relaxing-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/relaxing-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/relaxing-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you only have a limited number of days in one place, it can be tempting to tick off all the sites in one hit. But, think again. Slow down the pace, revel in a spot of people-watching and wander the hidden streets like a true local. Often the best way to truly get to know a destination is by taking the time to simply observe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>7. Get back in touch with nature<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12627 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2018\/12\/national-parks.png\" alt=\"back in touch with nature when you travel\" width=\"981\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/national-parks.png 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/national-parks-330x220.png 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/national-parks-360x240.png 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/national-parks-600x400.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With all the noise surrounding the festive season, take a moment to escape the chaos and get back in touch with nature. Inhale the fresh mountain air of some of the U.S.&#8217;s most beautiful <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/californias-great-national-parks\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">national parks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> like Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park \u2013 or come face to face with exotic wildlife in the lush forests of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/costa-rica-eco-adventure\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Costa Rica<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>We hope you all have a very relaxing break, wherever in the world you may be.
