Imagine that we are going on journey, we search and collect lots of information – how to go, where to sleep, which places to visit and what to eat – and then we leave those stuff at home when we go out !! That must be a terrible start for your dreaming trip, truly. Evernote will not let this trouble happen as it could help you keep and sync all information you need before and during the trip. Then everything you need for your trip is available wherever you are and whenever you want.
Simply start by creating a specific 'notebook' for your trip, named with your destination such as 'Japan' or 'England' and putting all your prepared information in it, then syncing with Evernote on your mobile device. Now it’s on your hand, easily carried, and also able to share with your friends who join this trip.
Now let's see 4 tips for Evernote to make your journey super easy and smooth.
1. Make Your Itinerary Easy To Find
After you book a flight ticket, you will receive a confirmation with other necessary information via email. Upon your departure date, that email will be buried in your overwhelmed inbox and you have to struggle to find it. But if you keep your flight itinerary in Evernote, your take off will be well organized. There is one simple step: just forward your confirmation email to your Evernote email, adding some extra information such as airport detail or emergency number, then there is nothing to worry about your itinerary any more.
In case you prefer rewriting or rearranging those information yourself for easier reading, you may create a note 'Flight' in the 'notebook' and put those things in it.
2. Clip Reviews You're Gonna Take
Before taking a trip, most of us seem eager to find reviews about what to do or where to eat in a place we are going to visit. Evernote offers you a 'Web Clipper' to clip those reviews you are interested in or want to share with your friends. Once you find favorite blogs or pages, you use a 'web clipper' to collect them and also, you can put a 'tag' on each to categorize them such as #tokyo #restaurant or #osaka #shopping. So you can simply find what to do when you are in Tokyo and Osaka.
3. Check Your Packing List
Do you feel like you forget something every time you pack for a trip? Checkbox in Evernote are perfectly adapted to be your packing list: draft a template with basically required items and add extra things case by case. When you pack your bag, tick a checkbox of each item you already put in so there’s nothing you forget at home.
Here is a sample for packing list template – you may use it as a guideline.
4. Put Your Sleep In Order
Accommodation
is undeniably significant thing for all travelers. The more hotels (or
hostels) you book, the more information you need to keep. Try creating a
note 'Hotels' and listing your reserved ones with check-in and
check-out date and time, address, phone number as well as map. Keep your
confirmation emails for hotel booking as reference. Consequently, you
will not be confused which bed you lie on each night.
