Let’s say you have an upcoming trip to New York. If you’re flying overseas you obviously want to avoid jetlag, but how are you going to prevent it? I wish I knew the answer to that before travelling to the U.S. for the first time. Luckily I came across Howcast, a great site where you can watch fun and high-quality how-to videos on everything from Arts & Media to Environment, Food & Drink, Mind & Body and, of course, Travel. Howcast’s videos tell you exactly how to do something with no risk of misunderstandings.
Note: For some reason the Howcast versions didn’t work on this WordPress blog, so I used the equivalent YouTube videos instead.

Loved the travelling light video, but it made me laugh when it said limit your shoes to two pairs. Is that possible for a woman?

Jon,
Nice blog you have! I like the ‘Top Ten Spring Break Activities’. Remember we did the same thing when I was in school, and everybody got to share their stories…
