Travel Tip: It’s easy to exchange your cash in large bills when leaving to travel a foreign country, but make sure to get some smaller bills when exchanging cash. You don’t want to end up with a cab driver that doesn’t have enough change for your large bill!

Travel tip: Bring a notepad and write a few key phrases in that city’s local language. You never know when it will come in handy. Safe Travels!

Travel Tip: Solo travel is the quickest and easiest way to grow your independence. Do you agree?

Travel Tip: never accept a drink from a stranger. Keep an eye on your drink at all times. Safe travels!

Travel Tip: If you wear glasses, pack an extra pair. Pack them and any medicines you need in your carry-on luggage.

Travel Tip: Seeing your passport pages fill up with stamps is exciting, but make sure you always have at least 2 blank pages when you go abroad!

Travel Tip: Save money at home while you are away. Always turn down your thermostat in the winter and up in the summer so that the house will not heat or cool empty rooms.

Travel Tip: Go ahead and take a motion sickness pill before you even board the plane. In many cases, this can help you to avoid motion sickness altogether. Happy Travels! www.triptrotting.com

Travel Tip: Fly in and out of airports that may be farther outside of the city to get cheaper flights then take public transportation into the city. Has anyone tried this? Was it worth carrying your luggage for longer?

Travel Tip: Hand gestures. They don’t translate the same way universally. Happy Travels everyone!

Travel Tip: Always tell someone what are you plans and schedule, so they know if you don’t get to your checkpoint something might be wrong!

Travel Tip: Pack a few small gift items from home. You’ll be glad when you meet a new friend along your travels! Happy Triptrotting!

Travel Tip: Search for free walking tours at your destination! These tours are often led by local students who can give you an insight into their local lifestyle and give you recommendations on places to hang out! Happy traveling :)

Travel Tip: Pack and an extra set of clothes in your carry-on. If luggage gets lost, you’ll still have a fresh set of clothes to wear for a day.
