Things To Do When Travelling

When you travel somewhere, I believe you don't just want to sleep in your hotel room, right? If you don't know what to do, maybe this list can give you idea. This list can make your vacation fun and unforgettable.

1. Enjoy Every Moment

When you first arrive, you must feel exited about the place. Use the momentum to write it in your diary or maybe you can film it with your camcorder. Express it with your own style, so when you someday look into it, you can feel the exact atmosphere. Enjoy every second you're here. Throw away your feelings about your job or home or anything that can make you tense.

2. Explore Every Corner

Explore everywhere! It's a big loss for you if you don't do it. Don't be afraid to show that you are tourist, so you can get a unique moment from different places. Don't forget to visit recommended stores. Even if you don't plan to buy anything, just go there. You have nothing to lose anyway. Also, do not be afraid to ask, especially to the natives. Because natives know better than anyone. Or maybe you can befriend them so you can have your own tour guide.

3. Follow The Schedule

If you use travel agent, don't ignore their schedule. There's nothing wrong by following their time table. They are professional after all. Schedule can make your journey well-organized and well-ordered. So don't miss anything from the schedule.

4. Buy Requested Gifts

Maybe your friend has already been there before, so he/she knows about the specialized goods from there. That's why he/she request it. Don't feel it as a burden, on the contrary, it can be good for you. It's like giving you an objective to achieve. And you can get a new experience by searching for it. But you also have to remember about your budget. As long as you can afford it, it won't be a problem. But if it's not of your budget, don't buy it. It's your vacation after all.

5. Watch The Local Festival or Local Sport

Do not miss the festival held in your destination, whether its sport or annual festival. This could be your lifetime experience, because you don't know whether you can watch it again or not. You will also get a new experience on your journey and also some knowledge too.

6. Travelling By Bus

Use the local bus transportation to see the whole town. You can stop in one of the bus stop, and explore the area for a while. You can see the real "face" of the city by doing this. And this could be a nice story to tell to your friends or family too.

7. Read Local Newspaper

Almost every city in the world has its English newspaper for its local politic, economy, or life style. By reading daily news, you can get new information. Take some time to read it after breakfast before starting your adventure.

8. Eat Local Cuisine

If you are brave enough, try local food. Some country has "unique" cuisine like fried water bug, sheep guts, or hairy fruit. It can make your cold sweat out of control. Okay, maybe its too extreme. You can try the tasty harmless local food too. Before you eat or buy it, you can ask the ingredients to the seller. If you don't want to try it, no problem, just search for a familiar fast food restaurant.
