Travel tips

People go abroad for a lot of reasons, to study, travel, business, pleasure, and so on. And there are a lot of ways to get to your destination. You can go by air, water, rail, and even through space. Well no matter which of these you choose, your safety comes first.

-When you’re going to a foreign country you have to keep your passport with u at all times.
-Keep your money, passport, ticket and other important things on yourself and safe. Don’t put all of your money and valuables in one place, incase u lose them.
-Make sure u know and remember where you put all your stuffs, especially your ticket. So it’s better if you have a small bag to carry the things you need often, so you don’t have to open your luggage and search every time.
-Never leave your luggage unattended.
-You should know what the weather is like where you’re going. If u don’t you could always find out on the internet. So you know what kind of clothes you need to take with u. But it’s always a good idea to have warm clothes and a sun hat, u never know how the weather’s going to turn out.
-Bring books to read on the road, and sometimes you have to wait for a long time, so it’s better if u have something to entertain yourself and snacks to keep u going at times.
-Be sure to know the schedule of your flight or other such activities, so u can plan your time and when to get there, so u don’t miss it.
-As soon as you reach your destination, find out where everything is: phone, shops, hospital, police and other places u might find needed.
-Make sure u have a map, dictionary and cultural guide of the country you’re visiting. It’s better when u know the things u can and can’t do depending on the country’s culture and specialty, so u don’t do something illegal or be rude, without knowing that u did.
-It’s better to go with someone when you’re going sight-seeing and such ( besides it’s much better to get lost with someone than being lost alone somewhere you don’t know, hehe)
-Even though some cities have a beautiful night view, going alone at night times can be dangerous.
-Insurance is important when you’re travelling.
-Watch your health. Always take the medicine and pills u need with you, if you have some kind of illnesses.( like asthma, diabetes, etc)
-If you’re going somewhere alone, let someone from your travel group or your hotel know and inform them where you’re going and when you will be getting back.
-Remember to take your camera with you, u never know whether u would find a great scenario. Besides there are some shots u can’t afford to or don’t want to miss.
-It’s interesting to talk to someone from a different country and it gives you a chance to understand the culture and know the country and people better, but when you’re talking to strangers, don’t give them full info about yourself.
-And last, always remember to have fun and enjoy your time:).
