Travelling is an experience that is meant to felt. It is more than just sightseeing or covering the places. Travelling is all about embracing the differences, venturing into new, learning more about the world and expanding one's views. Of course, preparing a Vacation Planner is the best way to do it. You can opt for company offered Vacation Packages too! But no matter how adventurous or ready you are, there is bound to be unknown situations, hassles and times when you have to rely more on your brain than you itinerary planner. For such instances, here are 11 simple rules to follow on your next vacation!
1) Don't stack all your money at one place!
Because finding yourself broke in another country is just so not cool. Not to mention it’s dangerous and scary!
2) Don't take offense at everything

2) Don't take offense at everything
You are going to a new place and you are bound to make mistakes (customs and all!). Don't lose your temper every time someone calls you out for it. Arrr..... it might be harsh but they are actually helping you. Take it positively and don't repeat it.
3) Don't laugh at every different thing
Go to a country like Japan and you will know what I mean. When you are travelling to places, you are bound to come across things that are funny, unique or bizarre. Don't start laughing straight off! It might offend the people, rather be polite and hold it in.
4) Do your homework and do it well!
Basics about the place like its custom, culture and regulations should top your list, like it or not. Not knowing enough is never an excuse!
5) Avoid selfies!

5) Avoid selfies!
Okay, no one will call you out for it, but it is definitely annoying, especially for the passenger or person standing next to you. Don't go overboard and keep it light!
6) Keep it light (Literally)
Not burdening yourself with goods might be the wisest decision you can take. Opt for minimalist clothing and restock your items in small containers.
7) Language!
Remembering the important and simple ones like a mere 'hello' or 'where is it?' will help you in a long run. It will also help you to warm up to the people and engage in conversations, even if it's not a fluent one.
8) Keep a scarf

8) Keep a scarf
Depending on the place, the standard for clothing will differ. Regardless, keep a scarf with you. It always comes handy in one way or other.
9) Shower and Brush Regularly (Hush, Hush!)
I know it sounds bizarre, but when you are travelling to another place, especially one where you have to go for camping options or low-rent accommodation, bathing becomes really inconvenient. But, don't let that stop you from taking one anyway! Remember, no one like a stinking foreigner!
10) Ensure to stay connected!

10) Ensure to stay connected!
Make sure to have the proper knowledge about the internet system of the place. You may buy data card if the city does not have public wi-fi system. It is better than being stuck with no google maps or WhatsApp connectivity!
11) The presence of mind
As I said before, no matter how confident you are on your ‘plan my holiday’ skills, you are going to face hassles. Your presence of mind will save you in a long run. Don't hesitate to seek help and find your way out. No one is judging you for that!
In the end, I will just say that be receiving, that is the key!
