Your journey is likely to be full of big decisions – such as which country to visit, how much to spend, what things to do, which hotels to stay at, which airlines to travel with, etc. Besides the big decisions, the smaller things can also add to making the trip more enjoyable or stressful.
So let us look at some common sense tips to make your travel enjoyable, fun, stress-free and safe.
Here are few essential tips for best travel
- Learn some language words in each country
If you can learn to at least say hello, please sorry, and thank you, in the local languages you can get lot more respect from the locals. You don’t need to be fluent in the local language, but learning a few commonly used words, phrases and sentences can go a long way in making things easier for you.
Do practice the new words a few times in order to get the pronunciation and accent right before you use these words in front of the locals.
- Early wake up to avoid the crowd
Get up before sunrise to find the best attractions while avoiding large crowds of tourists. It’s also a magical time for photos due to the soft light, and it’s easier to interact with locals at this time of the day.
In the morning, usually not many people are around. You can take a walk around the city, visit the beach, roam around the streets or explore the market places undisturbed during the earlier part of the day, before rush begins to pick up.
- Laugh at yourself sometimes
When you travel to new places, you will surely look like a fool many times. Laugh instead of being embarrassed. Don’t panic, and don’t take life too seriously. Remember you are out on a trip so have a nice time and enjoy yourself without becoming self-conscious of your behavior.
- Travel throughout the season to save money and avoid shopping
Shoulder season is my favorite time to travel. The weather is usually very mild, everything is cheaper than most weather, and there are very few people there.
- Don’t let your guard down
It is easy to let your guard down sometimes and neglect safety precautions when you are traveling. However if you get too lazy and neglectful you may have to face the consequences of it. People have been robbed, cheated, or had to face embarrassing situations because of their neglect and careless attitudes. Many mishaps and mistakes could happen when people drop their guards down.
You have to be careful when traveling because you are far away from your home You are among strangers and you have time and budget restrictions within which you have to play around. So always remember to follow basic safety precautions in order to avoid unpleasant or unwanted circumstances to arise. Don’t party the whole night, don’t travel late at night, don’t go out on the streets alone, and don’t go in cars with strangers.
