Going to new places is definitely interesting and fun but it needs a lot of pre-planning to make sure you have the trip of your life. Keeping that in mind, here are some tips to make your trip /travel better:
A good trip cannot be done in a hurry. Calm down if you miss a tour bus, take the next one. Don’t get annoyed when ATM’s stop working. Just think everyone will be just fine and remember whatever happening is happening for good.
Wake up early
Wake up early in the morning and visit places that are famous for sightseeing to elude crowds. You will also get more time to travel when you wake up early.
Learn to laugh
When locals make fun of you for not knowing the language or doing something wrong. Try laughing at yourself instead of being embarrassed. This will make you seem more friendly.
Always keep some emergency money hidden on your person, you never know when you will need it.
Trust the locals
Instead of asking other travels about places you can visit, you can take the advice of locals as they know the place better than anyone else.
Keep a scarf
A scarf is a piece of cloth that has many different uses. You can use it to block the sun reaching your skin, to help you avoid toxic air or even as an eye mask.
Keep a backup
Every night when you reach the hotel, make a back up of all the pictures you have taken. All of us have been through the problem of our pictures being deleted by mistake.
Click pictures
Don’t forget to take lots and lots of pictures with you. All of us have smartphones with great cameras these days so make the most of it.
Smile
Smiling is a great way to make new friends in new places and you never know what opportunity might show up with just a smile.
An open mind
Always keep an open mind and don’t judge how your fellow travelers or the locals of a place live. Every place has its own culture so embrace it.
Volunteer
Make it a point to volunteer at an event at the place you visit to better understand the culture and have a life-changing experience.
Earplugs
You will not believe how important this small accessory is. You can avoid unnecessary noises around and during cold it will be really helpful.
Be brave
Do not be afraid to tackle new experiences and take chances. You only live once, so try out any activity that you find interesting.
