The do's and don'ts of travel

My advice for fellow travellers

I’ve done a lot of travelling as of late, so I thought I’d share my simple do’s and don’ts when it comes to travel.

Do:

• Capture memories.

• Talk to strangers.

• Go outside your comfort zone.

• Try the local cuisine.

• Ask someone for directions/recommendations instead of searching for it on your phone.

• Accept that things won’t always go to plan and try to roll with the punches as best as possible.

• Get an ice cream.

Don’t:

• Push yourself too hard all the time. It’s ok to take rest days when travelling.

• Be too rigid with your plans. Give yourself some room to be flexible on occasion. Don’t have your days planned down to the hour. Allow yourself the opportunity to stay an extra day or two somewhere if you absolutely love it.

• Do something for the sake of doing it. It’s hard to know what you’ll enjoy until you do it but there are some tourist attractions that are overpriced and overrated. It’s cool to try new things and push yourself outside your comfort zone, but decide what is worth it for you.
