BEGINNER TIPS FOR TOURISTS FOR INDEPENDENT TRAVEL
1. Travel light.
There is nothing worse than to move with the weight on my shoulders, when you just want to enjoy the moment.
2. Save periodically, but be sure to pamper yourself.
Not worth throwing away for 20 dollars at every meal, but from time to time do not feel sorry for money for something to enjoy local cuisine.
3. Speak the local language.
Perhaps you are going through that iskoverkaete words in a foreign language and subjected to criticism, however, things are reversed. People like it when foreigners try to understand their culture, and react to it very warm no matter how your accent is horrible in fact.
4. plan, but not too much.
When you travel, it's a good idea to be sure that night you would be a roof over your head. On the other hand, the spontaneity is one of the most exciting components of the travel. When you arrive at the new location, simply make a card and ask around about the best local attractions. Leave the rest to fate.
5. Do not be afraid.
Fear is what gives people not to travel in the first place. On the way to visit in human consciousness arise thousands of questions "what if ...".
What if I run out and day? "," what if I want to get robbed, "" what if trip I don't like it ". To some extent all these worries have the right to existence, but most of the worst cases occurred with travellers, in fact, simply overblown by the media. Many people die, never leaving their country. You don't want to regret it on his deathbed? So gather the spirit and head toward the adventure!
6. Make friends.
When I progonjaju in memory of his travels, the best my memories not associated with places that I saw, and with people whom I happened to meet. Take time to make friends with other travellers or locals. I can't help wondering how much I matured, learning more about the similarities and differences between people.
7. Better spend more time in a smaller field than visit more places in less time.
The journey is extremely tedious. When you're on the go, you rarely issued an opportunity to sit down and take a breath. So, traveling, better save energy and let yourself feel how should the environment Wednesday, rather than seek to see as much as possible. Most will lead you to the overstrain, which in turn will turn the trip into a routine instead of fun.
8. Rest as it should.
If you don't allow yourself plenty of rest on time travel, you will be unhappy. Better start a day later and make smaller things than wake up nor light, nor dawn when you still will not power on the implementation of the entire programme. 
9. Eat.
When you travel, you become in apparatus for burning calories. Don't hesitate as you should fill your stomach during a trip and don't worry about such trifles as sugar or fats. Even if you absorb a monstrous amount of food, you still will have all chances to go home much thin.
10. Invest in a good backpack.
Yes, it's true that suitable backpack can cost you more than $100, but most likely, it really will be worth the money. A quality backpack should be waterproof, with reliable seams and zips and convenient for the back. If you want to save, then most likely your back hate you for this decision.
11. Take pictures, but not all the time.
If you are traveling for the first time, then most likely you will want to capture every trifle, which meet on your way. Although a lot of travel memories is great, it is very important to really enjoy the journey, rather than trying to document her every second. There are things that it is better to enjoy without a camera in his hand. 
12. keep a diary.
I am personally very pleased now that adhered to that rule. Let during a trip that often seemed routine, and it was not easy to write-able to scroll through the diary and immerse yourself in memories is worth it! In addition, there is no better way to catch his breath after a busy day than to write down their thoughts, feelings and experiences adventures.
13. Travel alone.
Many people say that this is the best way to travel. It's not just that you will have time to understand himself; among other things, you'll literally have to get acquainted with other people. Be far from home and feel like an anonymous stranger-a surreal feeling that everyone must erezhit at least once. Perhaps the most striking moments of self-consciousness I felt in those weeks, when traveled alone.
14. Travel with a friend.
Despite the previous adoption, travel with a friend (or friends) is too great. You have memories that belong only to you two, and you can share for a long time after the end of the trip. In addition to this, it is advantageous in financial terms: you will share the expenses for accommodation, meals and other expenses. And yet you have all chances to get as much as possible and stay great friends the rest of your life! 
15. In order to travel, you don't need to be rich.
Although during his first trip, I was a student, I still did not allow their financial situation prevent me to see the world. Want to travel? Indulge in some things, take on debt, podzarabotajte. In the end, self drive is not so expensive. If you really want to travel-you'll do it.
16. museums exhaust both physically and mentally.
No, I'm not trying to dissuade you from visiting museums, especially if we are talking about Europe. In Europe the best museums in the world with the greatest masterpieces in the history. But, nevertheless, hiking among frozen exhibits take up lots of time and energy. Try to explore more than one Museum per day is too presumptuous. Yes and even one Museum, if bypass all his exposure, may be a brute-force attack.
17. Turn off the trodden paths.
Yes, of course, traditional tourist destinations can be very pretty, but the most beautiful places that I happened to see, were not promoted attractions, but rather, the hidden gems I came across purely intuitively. So do not aspire all the time to walk among the popular places, and let your curiosity lead you into the mysterious alleys, through the weird bridges and unexplored passages. Open in itself baby. 
18. Allow yourself to ignore the fact that you're not interested
Do not make yourself do something you are not interested in. For example, if you find yourself in a famous place, and it does not touch you, then nobody will makes be there! What a treasure for others, for you may very well be something undistinguished: this is normal.
19. do not hesitate to ask for help.
Let's face it: while traveling you risk to get lost more than once. Instead of having to worry that you are branded by as "a lost tourist, eschew pride and ask for help. It's just amazing what pleasure people can help others!
20. Smile
No matter whether you are talking with the Manager at the hostel or with a random passers-by on the street — smile as often as possible. When you smile, you immediately begin to seem more pleasant surrounding, which can lead to an interesting conversation or acquaintance. You'll be surprised at how far can make a simple smile to a stranger on the street!
21. Home is where the heart is.
After my 30-day trip to Europe I fell even deeper love for home. While I was walking to the best museums of the world, enjoying the amazing historic churches and dined with exotic dishes, I realized that most of the things that I enjoyed abroad, available right at my home. No, I am not trying to dissuade anyone from traveling. On the contrary, one of the main reasons that I urge people to hit the road is something that, when you come back with a fresh head, you start more appreciate what you have. Back home, be sure to describe your family and friends about your journey, and don't forget to hug them and tell them how much you love them.
