Tips on how to pass the time on the bus: 5 tips to avoid boredom
Books galore
If you are an avid reader like myself and if reading while on public transport does not give you the stomach upset, you absolutely must bring at least 2 books, and I recommend you choose those that have a super mega hyper overwhelming plot to avoid thinking about the weather!
Music
Thanks to technology, apps have been invented to listen to music that also work offline, since it is not always obvious to find the connection to connect to YouTube. Fill your playlist and leave without worries!
The music tracks will help you isolate yourself from voices and noises by pampering you until you arrive! Instead of using earphones, which after a while "pierce your ears, I suggest you buy DJ headphones; they are much more comfortable and more vintage.
Download some movies
Another way to spend time on the bus is to watch lots of movies or TV series. The big companies provide mini screens, such as those you find on the plane, to be able to watch some movies and pass the time better; it may happen that you do not find films that reflect your tastes or, in case you are on the other side of the world, whether they are in Italian so, before leaving, download some movies on your mobile, tablet or pc and you will see that in no time you will reach your destination without feeling a bit of boredom
Look at the view
Ah, how time passes looking at the view! I am one of those who as soon as she sits on any means of transport glues her nose on the window and looks at all that our mother earth has to offer!
Rent a portable Wi-Fi and browse Google
Since you will not always find a network to connect with the magical world of the web, I suggest you rent a portable wifi that will guarantee you the internet connection everywhere. In this way you will always remain connected and you can indulge yourself by tapping all the time on your technological tools
Remember, remember the power bank because at some point your mobile will cry for mercy!
How to survive a long bus ride
And after giving you some boredom tips to pass the time on the bus, I want to give you two quick tips on how to survive a long journey ... I will suggest what to bring, how to choose the right place and which accessories should not be missing in your backpack.
Choose the right place
Let's start with the most important thing: the seat. Are you a person who suffers from travel on two or more wheels? Are you very tall or a little chubby? Do you often need to go to the bathroom and stretch your legs? Once you have answered these questions truthfully, you will immediately understand which is the right place for you. It's a bit like reserving a seat on a flight, the concept is exactly the same.
For example, very tall people always reserve seats in the front row or in the central rows to have more space and travel in comfort.
The bus companies provide apps in which you can choose your seat in advance. I advise you not to take it lightly because when you travel for many hours, the inconveniences start to hit hard and at that point you will be able to do little!
Hooded sweatshirt
Whatever the season, bring a hoodie with you; the drivers blow the air conditioning to the maximum so if you want to avoid a stiff neck or a sore throat, put your scarf and sweatshirt in your backpack!
Earplugs and face mask
If, on the other hand, you are the classic girl, and if so I envy you very much, who as soon as she sits on any means of transport, including a car, manages to fall asleep or take a nap, then don't forget to put the mask for the eyes and earplugs! You will arrive as fresh as a rose
