The biggest impact on the success of your trip is you. Here a few ways to have the best and most memorable trip.
Approach every travel day with openness, curiosity and a positive attitude and celebrate the similarities and differences in cultures.
Maintain humility and don't flash signs of affluence, especially in poorer countries.
Be positive and optimistic and focus on the good points of each country. Don’t compare it with your own country or dwell on problems. Feel happy to walk the vibrant streets of Europe as a sponge — not as a judge. Be open-minded.
Seek Out Traditional Festivals. Join the celebration and hit as many festivals, national holidays, and arts seasons.
We believe that to better understand a place, you need to meet its people and experience its living traditions. Meet them in local shop or small markets, sporting events, churches, public transportation or local barbers/hairdressers. Local festivals are the best way to get to know the country, people and their culture. You need to participate in the living traditions and festivals that make each destination special.
Make an effort to bridge the language barrier by learning a few words and phrases before you go. Don't worry about making mistakes — communicate! Along with "please" and "thank you" it is really useful to learn to say, in the local language, "You have a beautiful country. We are having a wonderful time."
Meet people and create adventure. Ask questions - local sources are a wealth of information. People are happy to help a traveler. Talk to the receptionist and get to know your waiter in the hotel. Maids know everything and they are willing to share their knowledge. Complement the chef in the restaurant, on a delicious meal you’ve just had and ask him for the recipe Exchange few words with the local butcher or baker. Don’t worry about the language barrier. A smile goes a long way and sometimes a handshake is all it takes to get to know a perfect stranger.
Do something entirely different every day. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the uncertainty.
KISS: "Keep it simple, stupid!" Don't complicate your trip. Simplify! Travel, open eyes, and an uncluttered mind.
