101 tips for women travelers
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — What do dental floss, shower caps and dryer sheets have in common?
They’re all products that can serve multiple purposes when you travel, according to “101 Tips for Women Travelers,” a new free booklet from Overseas Adventure Travel and Grand Circle Travel.
More than 70 percent of the two tour companies’ clients are women, and the booklet is comprised of ideas from female employees, guides and travelers around the world.
Among the tips: Dental floss is so strong it can double as a makeshift laundry line for clothing you might be handwashing on the road.
Many travelers swear that dryer sheets repel mosquitos if you tie one to your belt loop or backpack or slip one in with your bedding. They also help keep a suitcase full of clothes or a musty rental car smelling fresh.
And stash those free hotel shower caps in your luggage for later use. You can use them to wrap up a damp swimsuit, cover a camera in the rain, or help insulate anything you’re carrying that might either leak or get wet.
