When Family travels……!!

Someone well said “Like skydiving, traveling abroad isn’t a forgiving activity for the unprepared.” Planning family vacations is always tricky and gets complicated when overseas destinations are involved. We don’t want to think about mishaps, but still things can go wrong. Knowing how to manage the unexpected while planning for a trip with family can make your journey joyful. Mishaps don’t have to ruin a global journey if some diligent forethought is applied.


The lifetime memories that await the entire family are worth the extra time needed to identify potential risk and prepare for such contingencies. Basics like passports, destination research and international medical insurance require attention to detail to avoid unnecessary and unexpected problems. These are small yet most important things to consider while planning overseas family holidays. While it’s easy to underestimate those individually small costs that, when combined, can spoil the enjoyment of entire trip. While, knowing how other travelers with similar circumstances made their journey successful is the best example to, learn about scheduling, budgeting and coordinating.

First learn from others before heading out for international traveling with family. After all nothing can beat firsthand experience. Prepare a checklist and make sure to tick off things in an arranged manner. Once the adventure begins, the focus should be on—like the wise skydiver—the experience, not the regret!

Free Texting & Calling Apps for your Smartphones



I am an active user on different networking platforms. Regular interaction on these platforms keep you updated on new things happening around the world.  Lately I come across a lot about free texting apps and free calling apps for international purpose. These days technology is a cup of tea for everyone. You need not be a tech savvy to understand the nature and working of these applications. This is because apps are developed considering common people understanding and usage. 


Currently I am using WhatsApp, Pinger and WeChat for free texting to my friends, family and colleagues. No matter wherever my friends are, I can send them video, audio, images and text messages to them within few seconds. I just need data connection in my phone and my life is soughted. With Wechat, I can send voice messages and can do live chat with friends in group.
 
Earlier, I was using  skype, google talk, facebook messenger for send text through internet. I used to use skype for free calling purpose. But it was quiet hassling. Now there are apps like Pinger & Viber, which can make free calls to anywhere in the world. I use Google Play store for searching & downloading these apps. Smartphone apps have simplified my life. Its easy to stay connected and share my world with my friends and family at cost never imagined before.
