Ultra Music Festival starts tomorrow and if you’re in that last minute planning mode, then now’s the time to get on google and start making notes. Fortunately we’ve put together this quick list of things to remember so you can make the most of your time in the sun.
1. Learn To Love Lists
In case you can’t tell, here at Nexus we love lists and we think you should love them too – especially when travelling. From listing all the items you’re bringing with you so you can’t check you’ve not lost anything to making a list of all the events you want to see, having lists will make everything run smoother once you’re in Miami.
2. Plan Your Weekend
At an event like Ultra Music festival, it can be easy to get lost in the mix – the hustle and bustle of everything that’s going on. That’s all well and good and, in some ways, that’s a part of the fun, but nonetheless it will help a lot to plan your weekend out in advance.
Know which events you want to see, which artists you’re prioritising and which ones you don’t mind skipping if needs be. You probably won’t stick to the plan entirely, but having it there will give you a sense of direction and help you coordinate if you’re there with a group.
Also don’t forget to download the Ultra Worldwide app to help you stay organised.
3. Prepare For The Heat
In the immortal words of Baz Luhrmann “wear sunscreen”. Seriously, the Miami heat can be a lot for those who aren’t used to it and if you’re not prepared you could find yourself stuck in uncomfortable clothes, trudging from one event to another under the blazing sun.
Even if you’re an absolute fashion lover, make sure to pack some light summer clothes and comfortable shoes. You’re sure to be glad of them once you’re in Miami. That said, you’ll probably also want to throw a raincoat in as Miami weather can turn on a dime.
Also, make sure to stay hydrated – heatstroke is no joke.
4. Research Transport
We’ve mentioned in previous articles about the difficulties of Miami transport so we won’t spend too long on it here except to say that you need to research what’s relevant to you.
How you get from your hotel to the events you want to see is going to depend a lot on where you are and whether or not you’re driving. That said, the one thing that’s universal is that if you don’t plan your transport, it’ll cause problems down the line.
5. Don’t Forget to Have Fun!
If you want to have a great time in Miami then it’s best to get all that planning and research out of the way now so that once you’re there you can just focus on having the time of your life.
When all’s said and done, Ultra Music Festival should be an absolute blast for you and your friends. With the right planning you can make life easy for yourself so once you’re there all you need to do is follow the fun.
