Travel Tips
- When I visit...I always make it a point to get lost at least once. That way you have the opportuniity to actually become familiar with the area, people and culture. You usually discover things off the beaten path that you would never have found.
- The world is not all sunshine and rainbows, and travellers that think that usually come unstuck!
- Dont take s**t from taxi drivers, thats an international rule!
Common sense and logic is scarce.
- If you are in a city and that city happens to have a subway or whatever. Get a pass and just ride the subway getting off at random points, you get to see so much of the city and explore.
- When you go to the South Island in New Zealand definately make a stop at Milford Sound. The scenery is amazing and if you do the overnight boat trip they take you out of the sound and into the ocean to see the sunrise. An amazing spectacle!
- do your homework: when visiting a new country, do your best to familiarize yourself with the culture and language as best you can. a little bit goes a long way :)
- When I visit...I get into the culture and take as much away from the experience as possible
- When I visit...another country and eat as much of their traditional food as i can!
- When I visit...anywhere I try to be humble, respectful and friendly and I usually receive the same attitude that I give.
- To get pumped up for a trip (like you wouldn't be already) make a play list on your MP3 player of music that is from where you are going. Same goes for if you want to remember a really amazing trip.
