Your top 10 travel tips

1 . Give yourself something to look forward to . Break your year up

with a trip each year ( local or international ).

2 . Learn the language . Learn the basics such as how to say ‘ hello ’

and ‘ thank you ’ in the countries you ’ re visiting .

3 . In real estate it ’ s location , location , location , but when we travel

it ’ s food , food , food . Exploring the local eateries and experiencing authentic culture is one thing you ’ ll never regret .

4 . Be witty . Pickpocketers are no joke , especially in Europe . Keep your wits about you and don ’ t leave your phone or cash available eg . on

restaurant tables .

5 . Pack essentials in your carry-on . Try to pack your important

items like chargers , medication , a change of clothes , etc . in your carry-on in case there ’ s a mix up with your suitcase .

6 . Keep track . It helps to keep track of your favourite places you visited , money spent , etc . so you can always refer to it next time ( or give it to a friend ).

7 . Travel insurance is a non negotiable . Make sure all options are covered , to save yourself on overseas medical costs .

8 . Don ’ t stress . As long as you have your passport you can buy anything you ’ ve forgotten .

9 . Take lots of photos and videos . It ' s extremely special to have something to keep and look back at all memories .

10 . Don ’ t stand up when the plane lands . There ’ s plenty of time between landing and boarding off the plane , it causes unnecessary crowding .
