Tipple Tours Travel Hacks

Are you tired of boring “real” travel tips like roll your clothes to save space or bring a reusable water bottle? Pfft. Snooze. Here at Tipple Tours, we specialise in unforgettable track hacks that may not be featured in Condé Nast Traveler but will definitely get you plenty of confused looks, free wine and maybe a story your grandkids won’t believe.

Travel Pillow

* Don’t buy one. Fill a ziploc bag stuffed full with bread rolls from the hotel breakfast to use instead. Perfect for a mid flight snack too.

* Ask the passenger next to you if you can rest on their shoulder for eight hours.

DIY Travel Toothbrush
* Forget to pack one? Just chew on random leaves from outside the hotel. Pray they aren’t poisonous.

* Chew the hotel’s complimentary pencil.

Save Space in Luggage
* Wear all your clothes at once. Sure, you’ll faint at customs but hey - no baggage fees.

* Just forget clothes. Buy a T-shirt in every city that says “I ❤️ [place].” Travel wardrobe sorted.

DIY Umbrella
* Hold a greasy pizza box over your head. It’s stylish with dinner and dryness in one.

* Carry a folding chair above your head. You will always have somewhere to sit when the rain stops.

Avoiding Pickpockets
* Carry all your money in a sock. Smelly but safe. No pickpocket will want to get that close.

* If someone does get close, just break into an aggressive interpretive chicken dance. They’ll back off immediately.

Language Barrier Solution
* Learn 3 gestures: thumbs up, shrug and pretend to drink a glass of wine. That’s all you need.

* Show locals only emojis on your phone. Want a meal? 🍔🍟🍷. Want a nap? 😴🛏️.

Suitcase Security Hack

* Worried about theft? Wrap your bag in duct tape. You’ll never get it open again but hey, safe is safe.

* Wrap your valuables in sweaty socks and underpants. Thieves open it once, gag and never return.

DIY Sleep Mask

* Sunglasses + duct tape = total darkness. Trendy too.

* Glue two corks over your eyes with more duct tape. Not comfy but guaranteed to spark conversation with fellow travellers on your airplane.

Bathroom Queue

* Wear a pilot’s hat. No one questions a “Captain’s bathroom emergency."

* Stride confidently past the queue with a hi vis vest and wrench. “Sorry folks, urgent pipe inspection.” Instant access.

Local Food

* Don’t understand the menu? Close your eyes and point. Congratulations: chef’s surprise.

* If you don’t know what you’re eating, just call it “traditional.” It instantly sounds intentional.

The Ultimate Hack
* No matter where you are, if things go wrong…order a drink. Works every time.
