1. The ability to research like your life depends on it
If there's a place with the best local cuisine tucked in the most hidden locations, you'll still be able to find it.
3. You don't hesitate to snatch an amazing flight deal when you come across one
You better get on that AirAsia's free seat promo right now.
5. You plan your schedule around your travels and not the other way around
"But it's 6 months from now. What do you know you'll be doing by then?"
"Well, I know now I'll be travelling!"
6. But you'll never be caught travelling in a congestion with other tourists during public holidays or peak seasons
7. You have all sorts of essential travel apps downloaded on your phone
You have tried and tested all sorts of apps and found the perfect ones to make your travels as hassle-free as possible.
8. You plan everything out in a day-to-day itinerary, down to the details to maximise your time
You're the man with the plan. The chick with the Excel sheet. You gotta do what you gotta do, with so many things to do and see, but so little time.
9. Having a pen and journal (or at least paper) with you at all times
Something so simple yet so essential, but they might just save you from situations like having to fill out forms or jotting down notes when asking for help. Anything goes when travelling, so it's best to be prepared.
10. Overpacking is not an issue because you've gotten efficient and streamlined packing down to a science
You amaze yourself sometimes with your own impeccable packing skills.
11. That includes having your own version of a DIY travel first aid kit
You never know, you might need something to relieve that headache or calm your tummy after trying some exotic food foreign to your body.
12. Scanning and keeping digital copies of your itinerary, travel documents and passport stored on your device or on a cloud service
You always have digital back-up copies in case you lose the physical documents. Plus, they're so easy to refer to.
13. You're always prepared with cool must-have gadgets like universal power adapters, power banks, etc.
14. Going through airport security doesn't intimidate you because you've memorised the drill
15. There's a sleep schedule you follow so you won't experience jetlag
There's nothing worse than tiredly dragging yourself when you're supposed to be experiencing fully the wonders of travelling.
16. That unexplainable instinct you have, being able to tell if you're being cheated or conned
