One of the best tips to keep in mind all the time is to stay alert. when you travel in major cities wherever it is, always beware if there are people who approach you and invite you to eat or want to introduce you to the city. It may sound altruistic and he wants to help, but it’s that kind of understanding that can get you stuck and targeted for evil. Yes if all that’s missing from you is cameras or money; If your passport and even your life are threatened, how?

Join Travel Forums

Often read forums to travel in the city you will visit. Besides you can know what places are interesting, you can also know what things to avoid and what are the tricks commonly used by scammers in big cities.

Date

Choose a time that if not on a long holiday, because there could be a blast of time to vacation.

Budget

It’s most important not to force us to travel when the funds we have are inadequate.

Tourist destinations

Choose a cozy and safe place to travel.

Transportation

We have to think about what kind of vehicle to make it easier for us to get to our destination.

Don’t be shy about asking

If we don’t know anything, ask the people around.

Bring enough goods

Separate essentials in bags that are easy to carry anywhere

Ignore itinerary

Try communicating with the locals. Listen to the story of the history of the city you’re visiting. If you feel like you have to change your itinerary because you love a city and want to know more, stay one to two days away. Feel free to ask the locals about what food to try or even tourist attractions worth visiting.

Don’t buy too many incriminating pieces of your suitcase.

Don’t bring too many clothes. Bring and packing clothes as needed. You’re there for a vacation not for a fashion show. If you are confused, look for clothes that have almost the same color tone (for clothes and pants) so that it is easy to mix and match and not bring excess clothes. Also, adjust to the season.

Bring enough cash

For the amount of cash to carry, adjust it to the intended country. Or if you want to easily bring half the cash needed and bring a debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo. Why is a debit card not a credit card? I don’t want it after the holidays to have this bill-it. After enjoys traveling and then hard to pay cc installments. So save up before you travel.
