10 stupid mistakes you need to stop making on vacation

If you've ever had to live in a tourist city, then you know how terrible ignorant travelers can be. We provide a list of 10 errors that can easily be avoided, and then you yourself will not become one of these unfortunate tourists and you can fully enjoy your vacation.

Do not try to fit into the environment / try too hard to fit

There is a very fine line here. Be careful not to look like a stupid copycat, but also not to seem deliberately indifferent.

Shoot everything

It is always nice to enjoy vacation photos, but if you spend the whole trip trying to take the best picture of the Taj Mahal, then you will regret it very much. Not to mention the fact that this can bring your companion / companion on vacation into a rage. Take one photo and hide the camera.

What you can eat at home in local restaurants

Even if you are not an avid foodie, it never hurts to try something new and diversify your impressions. Even if you don’t like it, you can declare it with all responsibility.

Defy the law

Do not add fuel to the fire, because spending the night behind bars or paying a considerable fine are not the best options for an unforgettable vacation.

To think that all stores accept credit cards

Do you really think that you can pay with a plastic card in any shabby stall in Mumbai? Be more prudent and carry at least a small amount of cash.

Complain about how expensive / strange it is.

Find out about prices at your destination in advance, so as not to spoil the mood either to yourself or to your companions. And do not fall into the cultural shock of the fact that everything is not the same as in your homeland, because, after all, you are not there!

Expect everyone to speak your language

Here, most likely, the opposite is true, and you will have to learn a few key phrases. Well, at least out of politeness ...

Spam on social networks

Remember the point about shooting? The same goes for this. When posting an infinite number of selfies, you seem to say: "I'm more interested in letting you know that I am here than in the very stay in a vacation spot." It looks ridiculous.

Do not leave the resort / hotel

No matter how luxurious your resort may be, not to go beyond its limits is comparable to the fact that you were left to sit at home on the couch. Be sure to visit at least nearby interesting places. Of course, you won’t save money, but you can tell your friends about something more interesting than daily swimming in a beautiful pool.

Do not adhere to the rules for pedestrians.

If you've never been to places where walking is the main way to get around, here's our tip: stopping in the middle of a busy sidewalk is the best way to "get to know" a lamppost or listen to a few kind words in your address. In addition, shooting on camera, standing right in the middle of the street, is also a bad enough idea.
