#repost My biggest advice for traveling:
_____
1. EAT when you’re hungry. This sounds so trivial but I literally used to try to wait for mealtimes to eat and I would let myself get cranky and hangry. Always carry snacks with you and when you feel yourself starting to get even a little hungry, eat the snacks. I could have avoided so many arguments and frustrations if I had just eaten a snack...😅
_____
2 Be patient. With everything-situations, people, customs, cultures, your travel partners, and most importantly, yourself. Things will go wrong, information may be incorrect, a restaurant you choose might not be great, you might accidentally waste time or money, someone may be rude. But it’s all ok. Just be patient. I learned this one big time while traveling solo in Greece earlier this year.
3. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. I try to have a backup plan for if bad things happen like...what to do if my wallet gets stolen, if I get lost, if I miss a ferry or bus, etc. I also take precautions to make sure these things don’t happen, but when you have a worst-case scenario plan, then it makes things less intimidating.
What do you think? What’s your best travel advice or the best thing you’ve learned while traveling?
