06 Nov Recommendations for your trip – the best tips
If we reach this step, you probably already have your trip almost ready, we just have to wait for the start of our new adventure… In any case, we are going to leave you with some recommendations for your trip.
But, first of all, we have to make some last inquiries to stay calm when visiting that new country and enjoy the holidays to the fullest.
The more we know the main characteristics of the place, the fewer surprises (the bad ones), we are going to take.
These general themes will help us connect with the destination, with its people, and above all, to travel comfortably.
Write down the best suggestions for your trip
Coins
The economic issue is important, knowing the currency that is used to pay in that country, we can go prepared with the money to change into cash. There are destinations where it is convenient to carry USD and other Euros.
Let’s not forget credit or debit cards, beware that not all countries have to pay with cards.
When you arrive at your destination, we always recommend changing what is necessary to move on the first or second day. At airports, the exchange rate is generally higher and there is a commission for the transaction. We recommend looking for an exchange house on the street, that looks reliable (observe the number of tourists inside), with the exchange sign visible, and, if possible, that does not charge a commission!
I language
Knowing the language they speak can help us connect more with people. Learning the basic words in your language is comforting to communicate.
Being able to say: “Hello”, “Goodbye”, “Thank you”, “Good morning”, and “How much is it worth?”, can help us in communication.
Plugs
It may sound basic, but we must add it to the list of recommendations for your trip!
It is essential to see what plug input they use in that country. There are many types of tickets in the world! Even the voltage you need, 110v or 220v
We recommend buying a universal adapter, it can save your trip! Finally, if you have space, an extension cord or slipper will save you from the number of electronic devices that you must charge at the end of the day.
Food
One of the most comforting moments to try new dishes, don’t you think?
If they like to eat and taste new flavors, they will not have a problem where they travel.
We always recommend eating in non-tourist places. It is there where you eat well, abundantly, and cheaper.
If you want to eat on the street, try local dishes, we have to take into account the movement of customers, for hygiene reasons, changing food and cleaning the place can save us a major health problem!
Transportation
There are places that have excellent public transport, sometimes there are even free buses on certain routes. If we find out how we can get around, we will save a lot of money using public transport such as trains, buses, and trams.
If you do not have a transfer included when you arrive at the airport, we recommend checking if there is any public transport available to get to the hotel or the city center. We must also ensure the start/end time of each transport.
Excursions
If you are going on excursions, we recommend that if you hire yourself at the destination, you inquire well in several agencies, to find out about the excursion, what it includes, and other details. We could save ourselves from not paying an overprice. We have to keep in mind that we are tourists, and sometimes they want to take advantage of that.
One piece of advice is to look in reliable places, recommended by the hotel, that are on the street, that do not seem illegal. Always ask for a receipt and a service voucher.
Religious
It is an important issue, so in order not to be disrespectful in some places, you have to dress appropriately as indicated by each religion. Always respect if you can take photos, such as inside a church.
If you are in the street, be careful with clothing, especially for women, today we continue in a complex world where we must take care of ourselves!
Security
The best security is to be cautious, first and foremost. Always ask at the hotel if the areas you want to walk in are safe, and the times you are going to circulate are safe. Be vigilant looking with four eyes where we travel, especially in subway stations.
Carry valuables with you, in a hidden valuables holder, you can carry money and passports. Be very attentive in public places with many people (generally where there are tourists) such as markets, squares, stations, and airports. Always attentive! By observing you can avoid having a bad time.
Responsibility
Let’s take care of the place we visit, let’s respect the people, don’t throw garbage in the street.
Let’s not destroy nature, let’s avoid the animal and human exploitation. Let us be aware of the damage that we can generate in the community, town, or city, where we travel. As tourists, we have a very important responsibility to this industry, and the world. Let’s help take care of our home.
Travel-Safe
This is one of the most important recommendations for your trip.
Our health is a priority, being abroad we are exposed to any unforeseen event, it may be health or otherwise, such as lost luggage, or a legal problem. In addition, the costs are generally high. Having a backup, with travel assistance that covers us in these issues is essential! We tell you from a long experience traveling around the world!
