Travel Tips to Make You the World's Savviest Traveler<o:p></o:p>
Most
people aren’t born savvy travelers. It’s something that only comes with
on-the-road experience.<o:p></o:p>
In
the beginning, you make a lot of travel mistakes.<o:p></o:p>
Travel
savviness is a process born of missed buses, foolish behavior, cultural
unawareness, and countless tiny errors. Then, one day, you begin to seamlessly
move through airports and integrate yourself into new cultures like a fish to
water.<o:p></o:p>
I
want to help speed up the process and help you avoid my mistakes (and I often
make a lot of them), so I put together this giant list of my best travel tips
that cover everything under the sun to help you reach your full travel ninja
potential.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
I’ve
learned these tips over the last twelve years.&nbsp;<a href="https://bposty.com/">bposty.com</a><o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
These
tips for traveling will have you saving money, sleeping better, getting off the
beaten path more, meeting locals, and just being a better traveler.<o:p></o:p>
1. Always pack a towel<o:p></o:p>
It’s
the key to successful galactic hitchhiking and plain common sense. You never
know when you will need it, whether it’s at the beach, on a picnic, or just to
dry off. While many hostels offer towels, you never know and carrying a small
towel won’t add that much weight to your bag.<o:p></o:p>
2. Buy a small backpack/suitcase<o:p></o:p>
By
purchasing a small backpack (I like something around 35/40 liters), you will be
forced you to pack light and avoid carrying too much stuff. Humans have a
natural tendency to want to fill space so if you pack light but have lots of
extra room in your bag, you’ll end up going “well, I guess I can take more” and
then regret it.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
3. Pack light<o:p></o:p>
It’s
OK to wear the same t-shirt a few days in a row. Take half the clothes you
think you will need…you won’t need as much as you think. Write down a list of
essentials, cut it in half, and then only pack that! Plus, since you bought a
small backpack like I said, you won’t have much room for extra stuff anyways!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
4. But take extra socks<o:p></o:p>
You’ll
lose a bunch to laundry gremlins, wear and tear, and hiking so packing extra
will come in handy. I only take a few more than I need. Nothing beats a fresh
pair of socks!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
5. Take an extra bank card and credit card with you<o:p></o:p>
Disasters
happen. It’s always good to have a backup in case you get robbed or lose a
card. You don’t want to be stuck somewhere new without access to your funds. I
once had a card duplicated and a freeze put on it. I couldn’t use it for the
rest of my trip. I was very happy I had an extra and not like my friend, who
didn’t and was forced to borrow money from me all the time!<o:p></o:p>

6. Make sure to use no-fee bank cards<o:p></o:p>
Don’t
give banks your hard-earned money. Keep that for yourself and spend it on your
travels. Get a credit card and debit card that doesn’t charge a foreign
transaction fee or an ATM fee. Over the course of a long trip, the few dollars
they take every time will really add up!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
7. Travel by yourself at least once<o:p></o:p>
You’ll
learn a lot about yourself and how to become independent. It’s a cliché, but
it’s true. Traveling solo taught me how to fend for myself, talk to people, and
handle unfamiliar situations with ease. It’s made me comfortable with myself,
helped me learn about what I’m capable of, and allowed me to be super selfish
and do whatever I want! It can take some getting used to if you’ve never done
it before but do it at least once. Make yourself uncomfortable and surprise
yourself. You’ll learn valuable life skills when you push yourself!<o:p></o:p>

8. Don’t be afraid to use a map.<o:p></o:p>
Looking
like a tourist isn’t as bad as getting really lost and ending up in the wrong
neighborhood. Don’t be afraid to use a map or ask for directions and look like
a tourist. After all, you are one! I always use a map when I travel. It helps
you get to where you need to go!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
9. But don’t be afraid to get purposefully lost.<o:p></o:p>
Wandering
aimlessly through a new city is a good way to get to know it, get off the
beaten path, and away from the tourists. You might be surprised by the hidden
gems you find. I like to wander around and try to find my way without using
Google Maps!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
10. Always visit the local tourism office.<o:p></o:p>
They
know about everything going on in town. They can point you to free activities,
special events happening during your stay, and everything in between. They even
offer discounts on attractions and transportation. It is their job to help you
experience the destination better. It’s amazing how many travelers skip this
when they are visiting somewhere but, as a savvy traveler, you know to use this
resource! This is probably one of the most underused travel tips in the world.
Use the tourism board! Save money!&nbsp;<a href="https://earhtech.com/">earhtech.com</a><o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
11. Don’t buy a money belt — they’re stupid.<o:p></o:p>
Thieves
know they exist and being seen with one basically shouts, “Look at me, I’m a
tourist with money! Rip me off!” The more you can blend in and act like a
local, the easier it will be to get deals and avoid touts. If you’re worried
about pickpockets, keep a better eye on your stuff!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
12. When you go out, take only what you need.<o:p></o:p>
Limit
the amount of cash and bank cards you carry with you, so if something does
happen, you can easily recover. Never take more than one credit card or ATM
card with you. My rule for cash is to limit what I carry to $50 USD.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
13. Always carry a lock.<o:p></o:p>
They
come in handy, especially when you stay in dorms and need to lock your stuff
up. Carry a small combination lock with you when you travel. Don’t use one with
keys because, if you lose the keys, you’re screwed!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
14. Make extra copies of your passport and important documents.<o:p></o:p>
Don’t
forget to e-mail a copy to yourself too. You never know when you might need to
have some sort of documentation with you and might not want to carry your
original. Additionally, if your passport gets stolen having a copy will come in
handy for your police report.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
15. Ask hostel staff for information — even when you aren’t
staying there.<o:p></o:p>
Hostel
staff deal with budget travelers all day, every day. They know exactly where to
go for cheap meals and attractions. They also tend to be locals so they know
the city very well. Ask them for all sorts of information. Even if you aren’t
staying in one, just pop in and ask for help. They’ll usually give it.&nbsp;<a href="https://amarica.info/">amarica.info</a><o:p></o:p>
