Have you ever been in the position where you have arrived at an airport to board a flight, but the plane has been delayed? Or have you got to embark on a long journey, and you know that it will be boring?
Well, there are things you can do to keep yourself entertained, plus, it doesn’t mean you have to run the battery down on your phone.
Mobile Phone Games
Of course, you can always use your phone to play games while you are traveling. There are many out there to choose from, and they range in many genres from puzzle to the platform. You also have many casino type games such as Canadian Casinos which let you play roulette or blackjack while the time goes by.
The thing to remember, however, is that you should make sure that you have a spare battery or a power bank so that you can still use your phone if it goes flat. You might even be able to use a charging point that some vehicles and trains are now fitted with.
Books or Magazines
If you don’t want to play games, or you don’t have enough power in your battery, then you can always read a good book. There are so many different types that there is bound to be one for any taste.
You can carry a lot of books if you use something like a Kindle. Plus, some of them have a backlight so you can read in low light. They are better on the eyes for reading than a tablet, and the battery life is long lasting.
You can also download your favorite magazine to read on the journey if you wish, having a digital copy can be a good idea as you can zoom in on the text to make it easier to read.
Travel Games
You might think that travel games are for children, but there are many that one person can play that will be excellent for you to pass the time. It could be something as simple as a deck of cards, but you can also get travel versions of many popular games.
Travel games can also be a good ice breaker if you are looking for someone else to play the game with you.
Coloring Books
Coloring books for adults have become fashionable over the past couple of years. You can now get books with all types of designs and themes such as Disney’s Frozen. It can be relaxing to sit a color your book while you are waiting, and you will have produced something constructive at the end of it.
You can buy small packets of pencils to take with you that won’t take up too much room in your bag.
You don’t want to sit around bored on a long journey, it will make the time go slowly and it can make you feel drowsy and tired at the end. Far better to do something to keep you occupied.
