Tips and Tricks!
- Be Flexible.
- Missing a flight is one of the worst things that could happen. So, to make sure that this doesn't happen, arrive to the airport a couple of hours in advance. Visit the duty free, shop around, grab a bite and before you'll know it, you'll be boarding your plane! On the other hand, also be prepared incase there's a delay. No need to get frustrated; to be honest, there's really nothing you could do about it! Remember to pack some magazines or books in your carry-on to keep you busy and have your phone charged.
- Learn common phrases of that particular language.
- Now, I'm not saying you need to take language courses and learn a new language. What you could do is search a couple of common words in that language to make yourself a little more familiar to it. Even though just visiting, it's important to know a simple "Please", "Thank you" and "Yes/No" in the local language in order to express yourself.
- Don't be afraid to use a map.
- Maps are not that difficult to read, so take your time and play tourist during your stay. Asking people for help won't cause any harm, either. Some of the best moments come from unanticipated adventures.
- Stay hydrated.
- Trips under the sun could be extremely hot, exhausting and dangerous. Always keep a water bottle near and drink up. Also keep your head covered from the sun to avoid sun stroke. Re-applying sun lotion might be bothersome but it's better than being in pain and looking like a lobster for the rest of your trip!
- Pre-plan your outfits.
- Not only will this make your luggage a whole lot lighter and keep room for goodies and souvenirs, but it'll also save you from the struggle and stress of picking what to wear the morning of your big touring days.
- Keep an open mind.
- Remember, you are a tourist and visiting another country which is not your own. It's important to always keep an open mind, don't judge the traditions or custums and always be respectful.
