March Break Prep: Avoid These Common Travel Traps

March Break is almost here, and we can’t wait to hit the road with you! But before you start packing your bags and planning your playlist, let’s talk about some common travel traps that could turn your epic trip into… well, a mini horror story.

Avoid these pitfalls, and your March Break will be smooth, fun, and totally stress-free.

1. The “I’ll Pack Later” Trap

Procrastinating on packing is a classic. Suddenly, it’s the night before your trip, and you’re frantically shoving clothes and snacks into your bag.

Tip: Start packing a week in advance. Make a checklist of essentials… pajamas, comfy shoes, swimsuits, and any gear for planned activities. You’ll thank yourself later.

2. The “Lost in the Shuffle” Trap

Nothing kills the vibe faster than missing your group bus or losing track of your friends.

Tip: Keep your trip itinerary handy (digital or printed) and set reminders for meeting times. Make sure you know who your group leader or rep is.

3. The “Snack Shortage” Trap

Hunger strikes mid-trip can turn even the happiest traveler into a cranky ghost.

Tip: Pack snacks for the bus, downtime, or early mornings. Granola bars, chips, or trail mix work perfectly.

4. The “Over-Schedule” Trap

Trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once? That’s a recipe for exhaustion.

Tip: Prioritize your must-do activities, but leave space for downtime, hanging with friends, and spontaneous adventures. March Break is about making memories, not checking boxes.
