😴Avoid jet lag: 21 tips to fix your sleeping schedule on vacation🛌🏿
Just think of traveling; I can’t stop imagining exotic places, thrilling adventures, and delicious new experiences. But for seasoned explorers like us, my lovely anxious traveler, there’s also a secret truth: travel can be a sneaky thief of our most precious commodity—sleep.

You see, I come from a long line of worriers (anxiety practically runs in my veins!), and when I embarked on my first solo adventure over two decades ago, let’s say restful nights weren’t precisely on the itinerary.

New sights, exciting sounds, and the constant hum of “what ifs” swirling in my head – sleep became a distant dream (I was also staying in hostels then, which did not help at all).

And let me tell you, there’s nothing quite like the frustration of arriving at your dream destination, bleary-eyed and out of sorts, because a restless night on the plane has left you feeling like a crumpled travel brochure.

Sleep, my dears, is the cornerstone of a successful adventure. Just like you wouldn’t embark on a hike without sturdy boots, you wouldn’t want to tackle a new city on fumes!

So read the complete guide to avoid jet-lag when traveling:

✈️What things are required for domestic and international flights?✈️
Well, there are some items you cannot leave at home when traveling.

These are:

Valid ID or Passport (make sure your passport is still valid for another six months minimum)
Valid Driving Licence (even if you are not planning to rent a car, it is always better to have it with you. It is an extra ID, just in case)
Travel Insurance (never travel without one)
Vaccination Certificate
All your Travel Tickets (flights, ferries, car rentals, etc.)
Accommodation reservation

Fiumicino vs. Ciampino: Which Rome Airport is Better?
✈️✨ Guess what, my lovely, anxious travelers? Planning a trip to Rome can feel like a delicious puzzle, and one of the first pieces to fit is choosing the right airport! 🤩

I've been there, staring at flight options and wondering, "Fiumicino or Ciampino?" Don't worry, I've got the lowdown for you.

🗺️ While Ciampino Airport (CIA) might seem tempting because it's a bit closer to the city center, Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is the real champ, especially if you're flying in from outside Europe.

🎉 Fiumicino is a bustling international hub with way more options for getting to your hotel, from speedy trains to comfy taxis and buses. 🥂
It also has better facilities and a more modern vibe to kick off your Roman holiday in style.

🥳 Ciampino is mainly for those budget European flights, so unless you're zipping over from another European city, Fiumicino is almost certainly your best bet. 🥂
We want our arrival to be as stress-free as possible, right?

🤩 So, I'll always recommend flying into Fiumicino for a smoother start to your adventure!
