This week's TRAVEL TIP: traveling solo Do your research Before your first solo trip, you’ll obviously want to research your destination and plan some things to see and do that appeal most to you. Create a trip itinerary that focuses on your passions.... Do it your way If you make yourself at ease with your own company, you won’t struggle to take a seat at a table for one at a restaurant. Take a book if you really must and remember, you can pretend to be consumed by your phone screen. Start small Challenge yourself to do things by yourself in your own town before you book a ticket. Take yourself out for a coffee, or even lunch and try not to fiddle with your phone the whole time! Solo travel is about doing you, so if you’re more of a glampacker than a backpacker, style your trip your way. There won’t be anyone to complain. #HolidayInnCarlsbad #TravelTip #SoloTravel #Carlsbad

This week's TRAVEL TIP: How To Take Professional Travel Photos When you're at the beach: Beaches are best at sunset and sunrise when the light is easier to work with. Avoid shooting during the middle of the day, because the overhead light is harsh and difficult to work with. Also, avoid the clichéd sand-and-sky shot, look for something interesting to focus your image on.... Food: The secret here is to also find really good light. Natural light is best, but if you can't find it, be creative with what you have available. Napkins make nice reflectors. Seascapes: Seascapes are all about those incredible blues of the ocean. Try to find a vantage point that will let you capture those, as well as something interesting in the foreground that contrasts the colors of the sea and sky. #HolidayInnCarlsbad #TravelTips #TravelPhotos #Carlsbad
