TOP TIPS FOR TRAVEL
Whether you’re studying, working or on a
vacation, traveling can be one of the most
rewarding and educational experiences in life. But
there are also a few challenges that every traveller
will face, so we’ve prepared some helpful tips to
make things easier.
Learn about the transport system.
Every country is different, but your needs will
always be the same: you need to move around
quickly and easily. So, study the transport system
in your destination before you visit. Sometimes
it’s really simple: a single metro system for the
whole city. Great! Sometimes it’s more
complicated: a mixture of public and private train
lines, multiple bus companies and different kinds
of taxis. Either way, find out about it before you
travel.
Download a good map app.
Prepare all you want, but sometimes you’ll get
lost. It’ll happen. A few years ago, this might
have been a problem, but these days there’s an
easy solution: download a good map
application to your phone. If you get lost, just
turn on GPS and you’ll find your destination in
no time. The joys of modern technology, eh?
Learn to say ‘hello’, ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’.
You don’t always need to learn the entire
language of the country you’re traveling to, but
you should learn three key words: ‘hello’,
‘sorry’ and ‘thank you’. These words will bring
friendly smiles from locals, they’ll get you out
of trouble, and they’ll get you help when you
need it. Most of all, they’ll make you sound
lovely and polite. Learn them!
