Some basic travel tips

I am a frequent traveler traveling a lot. Infact I have been living up from my suitcase for the past 6 years now. It has been my lifestyle. It used to be odd before but now I am so used to it that it has become my second nature. I am more comfortable traveling than staying at home.

Through all these years I have traveled around 15 countries and countless cities. I am also fond of photography but that just came up to me recently when I bought the cannon DSLR. I am getting good at taking pictures. There are a few things you have to keep in while living a life out of suitcase and I know it from my experience.

Knowing about a place in advance helps, atleast you won’t feel lost on a new place. It does nt affect me anymore but you should always know about the place. The more you know the better it is. Always carry a map, if you can’t carry a map, you should better have it some clue about the direction s in your mind. I always read the map of a city if it is any new place I am going. Know the landmarks you are going to visit in the map.

Another thing that I find very important is about food. When out on a trip it is easy to consume bad food unless you know what is safe. I make it a point not to buy form any place where no one is eating. Easting from a popular place will ensure to some extent that you are having a freshly made food and if possible get the items which are served the most, or the specialty of that place. You can know this by asking about the help in menu from the waiter, chef or even at the counter. If you can follow this you can try different cuisines of various places without having to worry about getting ill. This is better than sticking to plain old burgers at Mcdonalds.
