7. Safety is of utmost importance
Arrange your travel insurance beforehand. Being insured is as important as anything else that wise traveling involves. Your trip can be disrupted or delayed and there is not much you can do to change this. Life is full of unexpected events. Next, you never know what kind of medical assistance you might need in a faraway country. Unfortunately, even the most attentive and careful people experience loss and theft. Make sure that you will be safe and secure abroad. Keep your most valuable belongings such as jewelry, money, expensive camera or phone in a safe place. And remember, no one else can take better care of you than you yourself.

8.  Surprisingly awesome local grocery stores
A traveler who is willing to find out what the natives eat and drink is to drop by a local store. There you will see their whole menu. Buy something and taste it or bring it back home and let your family and friends guess what country you brought the stuff from. Besides, prices in local stores are way lower than those at cafeterias and restaurants.

Enjoy your trip!
