Cautionary reminders while on a trip

Very few things are more exciting than traveling. Traveling for leisure is one of the favorite endeavors of people in general. But even though traveling is such a fun thing to do, people have to be careful because they’re usually in new territory. Sometimes, traveling can also be complicated with several destinations in a single country and an oft-overloaded itinerary that tries to cram everything within the allotted time frame.

It’s a good thing though that seasoned travelers have compiled a list of dos and don’ts while on holiday. One of the things they’re most cautious about is the price of food. It’s best to steer clear of food establishments near famous tourist spots. Not only is the food mediocre at best at these places, but the prices are sky-high as well. The best and most affordable meals are usually found miles away from tourist hotspots. 

As far as money changers go, tourists usually recommend changing money before going on a trip. Money changers abroad, especially ones that are found in airports have the worst rates anywhere. Also, as important as changing currency is obtaining a travel insurance, which greatly reduces costs should a medical emergency arise in a foreign land. 

And one of the most important things to remember is to familiarize oneself with the public transport system. Learn about buses and trains in the area because taxis more often than not cost double, if not more.
