TIPS FOR INDEPENDENT TRAVEL

 

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BE A BACKUP PLAN OF ACTION

Most travelers suffer from the fact that things are going not the way you want, and as planned. Flights canceled or delayed, lost luggage, delayed as a result of the trip and spent a lot of extra money and precious time.

KEEP YOURSELF IN THE EMOTION

No one would argue that stress and travel go hand in hand, and they do not care how you feel. The golden rule of those who are constantly on the go - take a deep breath, count to 100 and do not be nervous. Excessive emotions interfere to think and to perceive the situation.

Trust the instinct

prepare in advance

Spontaneous actions are useful to maintain the level of self-confidence and self-esteem, but not in a situation when you come to a foreign country and you run like a stung, because I do not know where you are or what you do next and where to go.
