Though the idea of travelling is inspiring it can sometimes be hard and frustrating so it’s important you get to explore the right way. Get the most out of your trip by doing some things differently so you can see more of the country. It’s important to find ways to stay motivated, and here at StudentUniverse we have created a list of the top ways in which you can get the most out of your trip.
1. Before you travel to your destination and whilst you’re there, make sure you read literature about the destination. Travel literature, preferably, or a novel or history book. Films, too, of course.
2. Try researching destinations online, reading news from overseas, and generally getting to know the world better.
3. Get up early in the morning as you’ll be able to make the most of your day. The earlier the better, as there might not be many other tourists around.
4. Talk to the locals, as you don’t know what you can find out and what they could introduce you to.
5. Always carry a backup bank and credit card in case one is lost or stolen. That way while you are fixing the issue, you still have access to your money.
6. Great for backpacking, you might want to stay in a hostel and you can feed off of the communal spirit from other travellers like yourself. Most hostels offer breakfast, have Wi-Fi, great beds and are usually centered near great must see destinations.
7. Great a phrasebook or dictionary, so you can translate and learn as much as you can.
8. Travel as light as possible as you can always buy clothes on your trips that will probably be cheaper than the ones you will buy at home.
9. Respect the locals and culture. Don’t do anything you wouldn’t normally do at home.
10. Make sure you know your budget as spending too much can leave you with no funds when you actually need it.
11. Make sure you try out the different tours as they can show you new sights and places you might not see on your own.
12. Reading about other traveller’s adventures can show you what your trip may be like and where you would like to go.
13. Learn the basic geography of the country you are visiting.
14. Use public transport. It’s fast. It’s easy, it’s cheaper and it will give you a better travel experience.
15. Make sure you have travel insurance, you don’t want to end up in A&E with a hefty bill.
16. Enjoy every moment, you’ll never have that first experience again !
There’s a world of opportunity out there just waiting to be explored, so make sure you don’t miss out! Remember, the only thing that’s limiting you is your imagination.
