Travel Tips

Going on vacation and travelling abroad should be an enjoyable experience, especially if you venture somewhere new.  Though many people will travel without any hiccups, travelling to new places can introduce people to new situations and different environments in which they are unfamiliar with.  Cultural differences, local customs and local laws can be easily misunderstood and you could land you in trouble or insult someone unknowingly.

Did you know in Thailand it is considered rude to stop a dropped coin rolling away with the bottom of your foot?

Comfort and safety are also important factors of travelling.  Being prepared to endure long flights, cramped seats, long bus journeys and sometimes people – especially if you get sat next to someone who you have to fight for an arm rest- is important because this is a big part of getting from one place to another.

Though it is impossible to learn everything for every single destination you intend to visit, these travel tips ought to give you a taster and intro into cultural differences and provide information on travelling comfortably and also safely.
