Travel Tips
Traveling can be hard, these tips will help to make it easier.
Packing Make a List!
Putting together a packing list can be incredibly helpful when you are traveling. Be sure to research the country that you are going to ahead of time in order to plan for items you might need like umbrellas and bug spray. Make a list of any requirements you will need in order to enter the country. Some countries have more than others. Rest assured if you forget something on your list, you will likely be able to pick it up at a store when you arrive at your destination.
Buy a Small Suitcase It will force you to pack light.
Tons of luggage can be a burden, especially if you are going to be gone for a long period of time. Traveling with one small suitcase will help you from over packing and having to haul something heavy around everywhere you go. Try to find capsule outfits that can be interchanged with one another. Your back will thank you!
Customs Do some research before you go.
Customs vary from country to country. Be sure to read up about any places you go ahead of time so you don't inadvertently offend anyone. In many countries it is considered rude to smile at someone you don't know, and many countries do not allow shoes inside. Knowing these things ahead of time will help you to avoid any awkward situations.
Go with the Flow Be ready to adapt for anything!
The best laid plans, or the most carefully planned itinerary, can change at a moments notice. It might rain on a day you had a boat trip planned, the nice restaurant you wanted to go to might be closed. Having a positive attitude in these situations is crucial and can sometimes lead to something fun and unexpected!
