John Bougen, a 57-year-old New Zealand entrepreneur, has almost completed his quest to become the world's best-travelled man, visiting all 247 nations and territories. <\/p>\n
Here, he gives Telegraph readers his five top travel tips: <\/p>\n
1. Prior to any flight, set your body clock to wherever you are travelling to. Clicking into the sleeping, eating and drinking pattern of your destination before you get there is the best way to beat jet lag. <\/p>\n
2. When packing a bag, put everything that you think you will need beside the suitcase and then remove 30 per cent of it. The trousers that you don't wear at home will never be near your hips when away. <\/p>\n
3. Unless you are going to the source of the Nile, only take the medicines and salves that you use normally. Even in 3rd world countries just about everything you might need is readily available. <\/p>\n
4. If there is choice, never arrive somewhere first thing in the morning. Your hotel won't be ready for you and with a bit of jet lag you won't enjoy the day anyway, let alone remember it. <\/p>\n
5. Just about every hotel has free wifi now. When away, as a minimum, turn off data roaming on your phone. Best of all, turn off your phone altogether and have a real holiday. <\/p>\n
