How to Travel like Celebs
Here’s the ultimate guide to travel in style. Just because money is tight, it doesn’t mean that you will have to compromise on the quality of your vacation.
And hey, you should totally find a travel buddy with XOXO Tours to add more excitement to your trip. Plus you would definitely need someone to click your glam photos. And it’s just so much more fun with a new friend!
Here are a few tips and tricks to travel like a celebrity at a pocket-friendly budget:
1.Plan Ahead: Chances are that if you book well ahead in time you will end up paying lesser than you would on a last minute reservation. Also, be on the lookout for discounts on airlines and hotels. A good strategy would be to plan your trip off season when the prices are lower for everything ranging from flight tickets to local cab service.
2.Stalk their Instagram: Stalk, stalk and stalk! If you truly want to live your vacation the celeb way, follow your favourite celebrities on Instagram and stalk their feed for what to wear, where to go, what to eat and where to stay. And most importantly, how to click your photos and take selfies. Trust me that will make so many things easier.
3.Upgrade to First-Class Seats: Spend a few extra bucks and treat yourself to a first-class seat. The price is all inclusive of meals and alcoholic beverages. Plus it’s worth personal attention and the few extra inches of leg-room. You can also get extra pillows, blankets and get a nice sleep to keep that face fresh.
4.Go for All Inclusive Deals: Book all-inclusive packages for hotels or resorts to save you from calculating at every step. Along with the room, the package will include your food, drinks and most of the other facilities offered by that hotel or resort. Now you can sit back and enjoy your vacation like a celeb without worrying about how much you’re adding to bill at every step. This is the most important thing you would want to do if you really want to travel like a celeb.

5.Book Directly: Call up an hotel/resort directly. Ask them personally for suggestions and specify your requirements like a balcony, sea-view or garden-view, a bathtub and whatever else you might think can make your stay better. For example, if you’re in Paris you would definitely want a room with an attached balcony facing the Eiffel Tower. It’s easier to get your demands fulfilled if you call them up directly instead of booking via other website/s.
6.Go where they go: Follow your favourite celebs to know where they head to for a getaway. Follow their footsteps for a real celeb-like feel. Savour a posh dinner with your travel date to get an extra dose of that celeb feels.
7.Save and Splurge: Save stringently throughout the year and allow yourself to splurge a little when on vacation. You can’t truly have a celebrity-style vacation without a little luxury. Don’t you agree?
8.Upgrade your Wardrobe: Watch your favourite celebrities to learn how they dress up to plan your airport look or other looks throughout the vacation. Pack the staples and a few extras like a hat, shades, an all-black attire, sundress, bikinis, a cocktail dress, the necessary jeans and t-shirts. Don’t forget the accessories & footwear.
9.Treat yourself right: This is the key to look like a celeb. Don’t compromise on your health. Watch what you eat and stay hydrated. Don’t neglect your skin-care and hair-care routine. You surely wouldn’t fancy a pimple or frizzy hair ruining your photos now, would you?
10.Click: Lastly, don’t forget to click lots and lots of photos. And a travel date with lit photography skills would be a bonus to get some Instagram worthy photos of yourself. Also don’t forget to load your phone gallery with some gorgeous selfies. Document your trip to later on post on social media. I mean, obviously!
Go ahead and live life the celeb-style! And don’t go alone. Perk up your celeb-like vacation with a great travel companion and XOXO Tours would be so glad to help you with that! #HappyVacations
