Every place set across the globe is different. When you step out of your country to explore another one, you need to keep in mind that a lot of things will be different and you will have to be flexible enough to adapt to the changes. For many of you, it will totally be a different world altogether. You may have your first experiences and mistakes but you will surely learn from them. To soak in completely and trying to make it one of the best travel experiences, we have a list of DONT's that you should try to avoid.
Dress The Way You Shouldn't
When you are out abroad at a new destination, you don't want to grab attention for all wrong reasons. While you are out there and you are a stranger to everyone, it is your physical appearance that will speak for you. Talking of physical appearance, your clothes will speak loud about you. Make sure you dress appropriately, keeping in mind the local life and culture of the place. There are some countries that demand you to dress conservatively. Before leaving, read a lot about the place that you are traveling to and then pack up your clothes accordingly.
Play Easy On Your Passport
Your passport is the only identity you have while you are out of the country. Make sure you keep it safe at all times. Also, bring in copies of your passport along with you and keep them in your luggage and handbags. Even if you get lost in the way or if your passport gets stolen, these passport copies will help you prove your citizenship. Make sure that you also give a passport copy to someone at home or a friend. You can also keep a copy stored with your email account.
Flash Your Money And Jewellery
You never know who is trying to make you a target while you are abroad. There are times you need to be very alert and not just trust everyone. Tourists are anyways easy targets for criminals and it is best to stay down and not show off your money. Keep some cash in your wallet and save the rest inside your handbag. Also, don't wear flashy jewelry while you are travelling out of India. It is best to keep all your valuables at home
Pack Your Entire Closet
If you are planning to pack all your favorites from your closet, hold on, especially if there are a lot of them! Packing smartly can actually save you from a lot of troubles. Carrying heavy luggage around the cities is a painful task. Also, depending on the number of luggage bags, your taxi service may demand you for a higher amount of charge. If you wish to enjoy each moment of your travel abroad, make sure you pack light.
Look Clueless
You may be new to the destination and may not know much about it but it doesn't really mean that you need to look clueless at all times. If you stand in the middle of the road, figuring out your way on the travel map or anything that makes you look like a new traveler, you can become an easy target for pickpockets. Stay confident and alert at all times. If you find a person suspicious, leave the place right there.
