• Traveling is an important part of discovering the world around
you and opening your mind to various cultural practices.
• But, as we’ve all probably experienced, there are some things
we wished we knew before taking off.
• So, here is a list of important travel tips that I’ve gained from
past experience and hope you can share with somebody you
know who has a yearn for discovery and adventure…

• Whether you’ve traveled nationally to a
different state or halfway around the
world, you don’t want to shorten your
days when your time is limited.
• Even if you know you’ll be abroad for a
year, it’ll go by faster than you think -
and you don’t want to think back and
wish you hadn’t slept as much.
• Plus, if you’re up early enough in a
touristy place, chances are you will
avoid heavy crowds.
• And make sure to bring your camera,
because there is no better lighting for
pictures than in the morning

• Although growing up you were probably told to stay away from strangers, you’ve most likely matured
a lot since then, and it’s time to broaden your horizons when it comes to meeting people.
• Make it a point to interact with locals, especially if you’re traveling internationally.
• Locals will introduce you to things in their country that you may never have known otherwise.
• Remember, people make traveling more authentic than just snapping photos of famous sites.
• So stop being shy, and talk with locals - you may even get to practice speaking in a different language.

• Ask for recommendations of what great restaurants are in the place you’re visiting.
• Looking up this information online is sometimes useful, but it’s better if you ask somebody native to
where you’re staying.
• Whether it’s an interaction with a hotel lobbyist, or a shopkeeper, locals will know the most authentic
places to grab a bite.
• Especially if you’ve never been experimental with different foods, step out of your comfort zone when
you travel and try something new and native to the land.
• If you find yourself ordering cheeseburgers everywhere you go, something isn’t right.

• Yes, we live in a digital age so
chances are you have more than
just phone numbers stored on your
phone.
• Make sure you store information on
either the iCloud or something
similar so you the information does
not get lost.
• It’s also smart to make both digital
and keep hard copies of important
documents like your passport, birth
certificate, and emergency phone
numbers.

• Lastly, don’t be afraid to say yes.
When you travel, you’ll be exposed to
opportunities that you may not feel
comfortable pursuing, but do it
anyway.
• Unless it puts your safety at risk, you’ll
probably learn a lot about yourself
and the place you’re exploring if you
say yes to unexpected situations.
• Plus, these thinks make for great
stories to tell down the road.
• Speaking of - don’t forget to bring a
journal!
