In life, traveling is one of the necessary things. But when people go to travel, they sometimes get in trouble as to what to do or how to find destinations and as to money for the travel.

Steps

  1. At first you must establish a good travel plan. If you use a travel agency, you may not need a concrete plan. But if you want to travel by yourself, or without help of a travel agency, you must have plans about place, cost, time, etc.
  2. You must obtain good maps. If you are in a foreign country and want to find a location which is famous for sightseeing, you must buy or get precise maps.
  3. Find the local information prior to commencing the travel. Including location of travel destination, currency, transportation, local residence at hotel or inn, regulation of foreign country must be known.
  4. Have a financial plan for your travel. You have to calculate currency ratio and decide the amount of money to use in travel. Airplane fare, level of price of local residence, meal plan, local transportation fare, etc must be considered.
  5. Learn some key phrases in the local language. English is often understood, but not everywhere.
  6. You must have an objective of travel. For example, sightseeing, honeymoon, golf, studying, an asylum can be objectives for traveling.

Tips

  • Trust your ability to cope with new situations appropriately.
  • You must plan as precisely as possible. Even though your plan is good and precise, a reality confronted by you in the locality may differ from what you have expected.
  • Look for things off the beaten path. As long as you are in a relatively safe area, don't be afraid to walk away from the main tourist areas to find a good local restaurant, cafe, or bar for example. It's cheaper and often more enjoyable.
  • Be sensitive and observant when traveling. Watch what other people do, and emulate it yourself. This will help you to stand out less as a tourist, and avoid most awkward situations.
  • Don't keep your camera around your neck, 100% you are a tourist. It's hard to hide that you are foreign, but just look like you know what's up and you'll have few problems.
  • Learn how to say (at least) "Excuse me, where is (insert place name)?" If you get lost, you can just ask people all along the way and watch where they point. Knowing a little bit of the local language will make people much friendlier than, "Do you speak English?"
  • When in doubt, following what everyone else does rarely fails. Example: How to get out of the subway? Majority turns left, follow them.

Warnings

  • Someone may go astray, so watch out.
  • People must be cautious of local safety. Someone may be in a bind from a purse-snatcher, other criminals or safety accident.
