Travel Tips | Your Guide For a Worry-free International Trip

Make your international travel experience as worry-free and memorable as possible by following these general rules.

Traveling around the world is one of life’s great pleasures. Our planet is so massive and there are so many places to see and things to experience. There are a whopping 195 countries for you to choose from, each with something unique to offer.

Needless to say, your experience with each one of them will be different. But nonetheless, there are a couple of things that you can and should do to prepare beforehand, in the same way, that there are things you can and should do while on the trip to ensure a worry-free and exciting travel experience. Consider this as a traveler’s ritual.

• Read up about the cultures and traditions of the country you’re traveling to before getting there. It is good to know the country’s cultures and traditions before you even arrive at the place, so once you get there you can act accordingly and not do things that people there will find repulsive. There may be things that seem normal to you and socially acceptable where you’re from but is considered offensive in the country you’re traveling to.

The locals will also appreciate it knowing you took the time to read about their way of life already once you interact with them. While there, you can just ask them to expand upon what you already know.

• Always try their cuisines. One thing locals are always proud to share with their foreign visitors is their national cuisines. Bandeja Paisa for Colombia, Pelmeni for Russia, Adobo for the Philippines, and so on and so forth.

A country’s cuisine is a big part of their way of life. These foods are always present in major celebrations and it is something they usually crave every once in a while, and it will serve you positively to try it out yourself.

It’s just a win-win situation in general. If you end up liking it, you’ll understand the craze behind the delicacy and you will have a new favorite dish to add to your list, and if it is not to your liking, at least you’ve experienced the country’s signature dish.

• Ask the locals for places to visit, and go to the locations you have not read online. When traveling to a foreign country, most people generally research tourist spots beforehand. While there is nothing wrong with that, it is encouraged still, there will be places of wonder only locals will know about. Whether the place just opened, or recently discovered, or secretly kept, there are things you won’t find online which only locals can point you towards.

Befriend the locals and ask for a place to visit. You might stumble upon a hidden wonder.

• Experience the nightlife. A party will always be a party, but a city can party differently from another. Always try to experience whichever city you are in. You can get the chance to meet the local singles there, or just see a party culture in that specific city. That is always a sight to behold, and you will always have a great time.
• Befriend the locals. Meeting new people and making new friends are just some of the benefits of traveling. You get to know so many people with different personalities and beliefs, and you get to know the way of life of the people from the people themselves. Besides, if you’re ever planning to get into interracial relationships, this is a good way to start.

If you want to travel in groups, you can check out the tours that we hold in different places in the world. This is a good chance not only to see the country but get a higher chance of eventually marrying a foreigner. See the world, meet the people, get enlightenment, be respectful, and remember the things you’ve read here. May it serve you well on your future travels.
