10 Things Not to Do While Traveling

1. Don’t speak English (speak the local language)
2. Don’t eat McDonalds or drink Starbucks (explore local food)
3. Don’t travel with check-in luggage (keep everything to a small carry-on)
4. Don’t keep to yourself (make new friends in the streets)
5. Don’t try to see everything (it is better to see fewer places more thoroughly)
6. Don’t travel without water
7. Don’t be addicted to your devices (fast from social media)
8. Don’t forget to keep a daily journal
9. Don’t stay at an expensive hotel (use more money for experiences)
10. Don’t go with a plan; explore, get lost, and be a flaneur
