I’ve always been a firm believer that travel is the best way to broaden one’s horizons. So, when I heard about the gathering of travel enthusiasts in Cala Millor, Mallorca, I knew I had to share this exciting event with you.

Cala Millor, a resort town on the east coast of Mallorca, is known for its stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife. It’s the perfect backdrop for travel lovers from all walks of life to come together, share experiences and create unforgettable memories.

This event isn’t just about exploring a new destination. It’s about connecting with like-minded individuals who share a passion for exploration and adventure. So, if you’re a travel enthusiast looking for your next great adventure, you won’t want to miss this meet-up in Cala Millor, Mallorca.

Preparing for the Travel Enthusiasts Meeting

One cannot just hop on a plane to a foreign country without taking a few necessary steps. In the following paragraphs, we’ll delve into the specifics of getting ready for the travel enthusiasts meeting in Cala Millor, Mallorca.

Choosing Cala Millor Mallorca as the Destination

First and foremost, choosing Cala Millor Mallorca as the destination wasn’t taken lightly. After all, it’s one of the finest resort towns on the globe. It boasts beautiful beaches, an active nightlife, and a gathering of like-minded individuals, pure recipe for an unforgettable adventure. It’s a chance to immerse oneself in the melding of different cultures teeming in a single location.

Booking Accommodation in Cala Millor Mallorca

Book early is a mantra that rings true particularly when planning to sojourn in a bustling resort town like Cala Millor. The place is known not just for its scenic locations, but also its exceptional accommodation. Resorts, hotels or spacious holiday rentals, you’re spoilt for choice. Do remember that securing your lodging ahead of time helps ease your travel nerves.

Getting to Cala Millor Mallorca

Once you’ve decided to embrace this exciting travel enthusiast meet-up, the next thing on your list should be planning your journey. Getting to Cala Millor, Mallorca might seem daunting, but it’s easier than you’d think.

Being the largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca has a well-connected transport system with many direct flights from across Europe landing at Palma de Mallorca Airport. From there, it’s just about an hour’s drive by car to the sunny town of Cala Millor. Conveniently, there’s a plethora of car rental services available at the airport.

How easy is that? One minute, you’re at one of the busiest airports in Spain, and the next, you’re driving along the picturesque highway, soaking up coastal views on your way to Cala Millor.

But maybe you’re not a fan of driving or just would rather not handle what could potentially be a hire car hiccup. No problem! Public transport is a reliable and affordable alternative. There’s an efficient bus service operates from the airport straight to Cala Millor. For that I found all the information on the website called Cala Millor Guru. The ride takes about 1.5 hours, but don’t worry. The journey might be a bit longer, but you’ll still enjoy stunning panoramic views of the island.

For those who prefer a more relaxed travel experience, private transfer services are also an option from Palma de Mallorca Airport to Cala Millor. Services like these, whilst a little more expensive, offer the perks of comfort, convenience and a stress-free journey.

So whether you’re an adventurous spirit wanting to hit the road yourself, or someone looking to sit back and let others do the navigating, getting to Cala Millor promises to be a remarkable start to the travel enthusiasts gathering.

Cala Millor’s beaches are, without doubt, the island’s crown jewels. Unspoilt, sandy stretches with crystal-clear waters invite you to sit back and soak up the sun. The Balneario 6 beach stands out with its Blue Flag certification, assuring its safety and environmental responsibility. You might find it hard to resist the allure of lounging on one of the many sunbeds while savouring a cocktail or splashing in the inviting Mediterranean waters.

Trying Out Water Sports Activities

If you’re looking to add some adrenaline to your beach day, you’re in luck. Cala Millor offers an impressive range of water sports. Wind surfing, pedalo rentals, scuba diving, and even flyboarding, there’s something for everyone. Fancy exploring the open sea? Take advantage of the jet skis or sailing lessons offered right on the beach. These active pursuits provide unique ways to enjoy the region’s natural beauty.

Visiting the Punta de n’Amer Nature Reserve

Just a comfortable walk from Cala Millor’s main beach, you’ll stumble upon the Punta de n’Amer Nature Reserve. This natural haven offers a blissful reprieve from the bustle of the beach strip. Make the most of the well-laid hiking trails, taking in the fragrant pine groves and wildlife sightings.

Cala Millor is not just a typical beach destination. It’s bursting with varied activities, relished by those seeking both relaxation and adventure, providing a backdrop for unique experiences you won’t soon forget. Making the most of this vibrant locale will undoubtedly be a highlight of the travel enthusiasts gathering.

Fly like a pro https://solofriendly.com/fly-like-a-pro/ Sat, 15 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000 https://solofriendly.com/?p=47 So that a flight - especially a long one - does not turn into a painful quest with back pain, nausea and weakness, it is worth remembering a few simple rules.

So that a flight – especially a long one – does not turn into a painful quest with back pain, nausea and weakness, it is worth remembering a few simple rules.

Exercise
Sleep a little less than usual the night before the flight and be sure to do a couple of asanas or exercises for different parts of the body in the morning to feel more awake.

Eat well before your flight.
Carbohydrate-rich foods like spaghetti, whole-grain bread, and oatmeal will minimize or even prevent jetlag (by producing insulin). To avoid surprises, forget about fast food.

But don’t overeat.
Food is harder to digest in the air. So it is better to have a hearty lunch before the flight, and on the plane limit yourself to light snacks. If it’s a long flight, order a special menu – vegetarian, kosher or gluten-free. Remember that warm food is more digestible.

Grab a light snack.
Put protein-rich snacks in your backpack: almonds, peanut butter crackers, yogurt, cheese and protein bars.

Drink more water
Flights are very dehydrating, so drink regularly and as much as you can, not just when you’re thirsty.

Give up coffee.
Caffeine contributes to even more dehydration and, consequently, irritability. If caffeine-free green tea is on the menu, order it.

Watch out for alcohol.
If you don’t want to experience severe jetlag in all its colors, give up alcohol or drink very little. By the way, alcoholic beverages are just as dehydrating as coffee.

Wear loose fitting clothes.
Simply wear pajama-like clothes that are as loose and comfortable as possible. T-shirt, sweater, jeans, leggings and be sure to wear socks to keep your feet warm.

Dress in layers, like a cabbage.
The temperature on a long flight can change. So take a sweater that you can easily take off if it’s too hot and put it back on if you suddenly get cold.

Take a wide scarf.
You can use it as an accessory, a blanket, and you can also tie it around your waist to hold it in place.

Take care of your neck and spine
A pillow for your neck will save you: the right position of your head during sleep will help avoid headaches, lethargy and irritability. Don’t forget about your spine either – put a blanket or sweater under your lower back.

Listen to white noise
Get earplugs or headphones to drown out annoying noises. Download yourself some light ambient, rain or city street noise in advance.

Use an eye mask.
By limiting the light to your eyes, you can cheat your body a little – this way the jetlag will be much easier to endure.

Do sitting exercises.
Allow three to four minutes every hour for simple exercises: stretch your shoulders, wiggle your hands and feet. This will prevent congestion, pain, and blood clotting.

Choose a window seat near the airplane wing
You’ll feel less turbulence if you sit near a fender and even if you sit near a window, you won’t be bothered by neighbors who occasionally need to step away.

What shouldn’t I take with me when I travel? https://solofriendly.com/what-shouldnt-i-take-with-me-when-i-travel/ Wed, 09 Nov 2022 13:24:00 +0000 https://solofriendly.com/?p=35 One of the best decisions a traveler can make is to always stay light. You can't foresee everything in the world anyway, and a pile of unnecessary items will only take up space in your suitcase.

One of the best decisions a traveler can make is to always stay light. You can’t foresee everything in the world anyway, and a pile of unnecessary items will only take up space in your suitcase. We made a list of things that are better to stay at home.

Laptop
Think about how many times you took your laptop with you when you traveled, and how many times you opened it. And unless it’s a business trip, don’t bring a laptop. A smartphone with a basic set of apps is enough to stay in touch. And if you suddenly decide to write an interesting article for 34travel, believe the experts – a couple of days after the trip your knowledge and impressions will not have time to get rid of.

Mirror camera
Another weighty item you can easily do without if you’re not a professional photographer on a trip. By the way, many pros have long since abandoned massive cameras in favor of a smartphone camera. In order to take a couple of memorable photos and upload them to Instagram, its capabilities are exactly enough. Many people manage to shoot real masterpieces on the phone. Not to mention the fact that there are places on the planet where it’s just not safe to take expensive equipment out of the bag.

Household gadgets (hair dryer, boilers, irons, etc.)
Forget the household stuff: don’t carry a portable hair dryer, a mini-iron (yes, that happens too), a boiling pot with a mug and a pack of tea. Travel is the perfect time to at least temporarily free yourself from worrying about your hair styling or crumpled t-shirt. And a glass of boiling water (if you really need it) is unlikely to be denied to you at any time.

Paper book.
It is doubtful, that even the most inveterate book-lover will read the book, which he brought with him, from cover to cover. At most a couple of pages on the plane or train. All the rest of the time the book will mercilessly occupy space in your backpack and pulling away your shoulder. She will return home unread and crumpled. Have pity on the book and yourself – just download the desired text to your device. For a couple of times to read it will be the most faithful option.

Hygiene products and cosmetics
Carrying a bunch of jars of shampoos and shower gels is one of the most irrational decisions of a traveler. They are large, heavy, and can spill in the suitcase. Any hygiene products are easy to buy locally upon arrival. If you’re pro-ecology and against buying new stuff and groceries all the time – take small jars and transfer your shampoos in there. Then pack them well in bags. This way they will at least take up minimal space in your suitcase.

Umbrella
Add here rubber boots, a warm jacket (if you’re going to a hot country), swimming trunks (if you’re going to the sea, like Greenland), and other things that are 99% not appropriate for the local climate. And forget about “what if it rains, snow” and so on. If it freezes, you buy a raincoat. Expect frost somewhere in Dubai in the high season or the instant melting of glaciers in Norway is not worth it, so things “just in case” are not needed.

How to choose a seat on a plane https://solofriendly.com/how-to-choose-a-seat-on-a-plane/ Tue, 04 Jan 2022 13:44:00 +0000 https://solofriendly.com/?p=40 The best seats on the plane are the key to a comfortable flight.

The best seats on the plane are the key to a comfortable flight. Ryanair has prepared some useful tips for both photo lovers and those who want to sleep quietly in the corner.

If you need to get off quickly
You don’t have the strength to wait for your vacation or business meeting, or you really want to go home soon? Then reserve seats 1 A, B, C or 2 D, E, F to be among the first to leave the plane. These seats are also ideal for people who frequently use the restroom during a flight. Although for some people the proximity to the restroom may not be the most pleasant bonus.

If you want to take pictures.
Great seats can also be found for those who are going to post picturesque photos on Instagram. Just sitting by the window, by the way, is not enough for this. The most spectacular thing would be if in the frame, besides the sky, fluffy clouds or cities, illuminated by millions of tiny lights, there would be an airplane wing. To get such pictures, choose seats within 15-18 rows.

If you fly with a large group
It may happen that you’re going on a trip with 20 friends. For example, for a bachelor or bachelorette party, an away game, a concert – well, where else. In this case, don’t be lazy to make a group reservation. You and your friends can be guaranteed to sit next to each other, plus there are discounts or bonuses for group reservations.

If you need plenty of leg room
Owners of long legs and all lovers of spreading limbs more spaciously better take care of their comfort before the flight. The most spacious seats are located in rows 1, 16 or 17. You must reserve them in advance and pay a fee. But it’s really worth it.

And note that on rows 16-17 it is forbidden to put hand luggage on the floor for safety reasons. Also, children under 16 and passengers with disabilities are not allowed to fly here.

If you need a good night’s sleep
Want to get on a plane and just fall asleep? A hint – not many people know that there is no window next to seat 11A. Such a seat would be ideal for those who want a quiet nap with no light in their eyes, and no one to jerk. Especially during a daytime flight.

If you travel with children
Traveling with children is a story with separate nuances. Ryanair, for example, allows infant car seats on board and even heats up bottles of baby food for little travelers. But it turns out that’s not all – there are perks for seat selection when flying with young passengers, too. Book a seat for the whole family with the Family Extra option and get a 50% discount on a child’s seat reservation. The same option gives you priority boarding and children’s baggage allowance.

If you can’t wait to eat
Can’t wait to try a snack? Seats in rows 1, 2 and 33 are next to the kitchen. So sitting on them you can start your meal well in advance of the other passengers on the plane. And the hot meal will be served to you faster. Bon appetit!

7 tips for safe travel https://solofriendly.com/7-tips-for-safe-travel/ Sun, 18 Jul 2021 13:13:00 +0000 https://solofriendly.com/?p=32 Even if it's not your first time traveling, you're still not immune to unforeseen situations along the way.

Even if it’s not your first time traveling, you’re still not immune to unforeseen situations along the way. From tickets and passports to handling money, you are in the risk zone when traveling.

  1. Don’t limit yourself to just one way to keep your money
    Cash or plastic card is one of the major dilemmas a traveler faces. There is no universal answer to this question, and the smartest thing to do, as they say, is not to keep all your eggs in one basket.
  2. Take care of your money when you go out. Keeping money in a safe is a great option, but don’t forget about the cash you keep with you as well. It’s best if you don’t have a lot of it, especially if you don’t plan on spending a lot of it. It is definitely not a good idea to carry your wallet in your back pocket or a bag that is not securely closed. A backpack is also not the best option, especially in crowded places.
  1. Make copies of travel documents
    None of us is immune to lost or stolen documents and money, but traveling increases that risk. Recovering lost documents will be much easier with copies in hand. To be on the safe side, make hard copies of all documents and keep them in the hotel safe.
  2. Don’t neglect your insurance
    Travel insurance is your guarantee of safety. This is probably the most reasonable investment you can make before the trip, and it is certainly worth doing it not only to successfully pass the documents for the visa. First, by taking out an insurance document, you will be able to consult a 24-hour hotline in case of stressful situations. Secondly, you will be able to reimburse your expenses for medical treatment or additional accommodation due to delayed or cancelled flights upon your return.
  3. Get the necessary vaccinations
    An exotic country somewhere in Africa or Southeast Asia is a great destination for a traveler not used to following traditional routes. And the threat of an unknown disease is not a reason to abandon your plans. In most cases, problems can be avoided with a single vaccination.
  4. Don’t give to beggars and be careful of street vendors
    Being generous is great, but it can also be dangerous. Stopping in front of a homeless person – usually in a crowded place – and taking out your wallet in public makes you easy prey for street thieves. If it’s hard for you to pass by a homeless person, put some change in your pocket so that you can easily get a penny if necessary.
  5. Learn the local laws and customs
    We all tend to travel for new experiences and emotions that we’ll keep for a lifetime. A new culture is always an interesting experience, but getting to know it often requires caution. Local laws and customs are part of the national culture, and ignorance of them can lead to unpleasant consequences.

What do you call traveling alone? Solo-tourism! This is a new type of travel that is becoming more and more popular. It is interesting and comfortable to rest without a company, but it is important to think everything over beforehand.

Vacationing alone is wrongly considered dangerous and boring. Traveling without company helps to feel inner freedom and independence. After such a holiday, a person feels better about his desires, appreciates life at its own pace and is not afraid to meet new people, who often meet on the way solo-tourist. Reviews about traveling alone speak for themselves!

In order not to be afraid to go on vacation without company, it is worth reading about traveling alone on special forums and in thematic communities. Find like-minded people, learn about their experiences and pay close attention to their advice. They will tell you exactly what you need to travel around the world.

If you think everything through in advance, you don’t have to worry. It’s important to find lodging, take care of safety, and take all the essentials with you.

Among the best countries that are suitable for tourists without company, experts call: New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, Costa Rica and Austria. Also solo tourism is popular in Vietnam, Chile, Japan and Sweden.

First of all, it is important to think about the route and find lodging. Apartment, hotel or hostel – any of these options should be booked in advance, so you protect yourself from unpleasant “surprises” and you will not have to hastily look for lodging in an unfamiliar city.

Do not take a lot of things with you. Everything you need is better placed in a handy backpack or small suitcase. And most importantly, you don’t have to be afraid of making new friends. You can go on a hike or meet new people in the hostel, do not lose vigilance, but learn to trust new acquaintances.

Everyone who is going to vacation without company, worried about this question: Is it dangerous to travel alone. If you follow the rules and precautions, everything will be fine. It is necessary to make photocopies of all their documents, and the passport and other identity papers should be photographed and sent to the cloud or e-mail.

You should also write down the numbers and addresses of the Ukrainian embassy, if you go to another country. You should not use private cabs when you travel. Trust only official services. You should not leave your belongings unattended, keep an eye on drinks and food, so that no one can put anything in them.

Money is better to keep in different places, it is better to leave part of the amount on the card. Before the trip, you need to lay out all the routes, learn about the dangerous places and plan a trip only in areas and cities where there is definitely nothing threatening.

Touring without company is especially frightening for girls. Many fear that unaccompanied women are in for a lot of trouble. However, if you remain careful, nothing bad will happen.
