Before Traveling, Here are 10 Tips You Must Pay Attention To

Daihatsu friends have travel plans in the near future?

Traveling can indeed be one way to release your mind momentarily from the daily routine that can make us feel bored and stressed. Traveling can also be a way to find yourself, you know, friends.

Before going traveling, it's good to pay attention to a few things:

One of the requirements is to master the English language. Mastering English is not easy, but it can be understood, friends. If you feel your English skills are lacking, try following these tips.

1. Departure Schedule

Once you have determined your departure schedule, make sure you do not pack too close to the schedule. Because if you pack too close to your departure time, you risk forgetting items that you will need during your trip.

So, make sure you pack at least 3 days before your departure schedule, so you can prepare any incomplete items.

2. Luggage

Before you pack, make a list of what items you want to bring. Write it down in a book or notes on your phone so it doesn't get lost easily. If you're confused, you can look for examples of what items should be brought while traveling on the internet.

You can also ask friends who have been to the same tourist destination. You can ask for suggestions on what you should and shouldn't bring later.

Always remember to bring items and necessities according to your destination. If there are items you don't have yet, you can buy them beforehand or borrow from a friend.

So, once again, you should not pack too close to your departure schedule to avoid forgetting anything, friends!

3. Medications

Bring your personal medications when packing for traveling. It's not wrong to be prepared because we never know if we will get sick or not during the holiday.

At the place you will visit, the medications you need may not be available. So, it's better to bring medications from home. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?

4. Light Packing

Try not to bring excessive items as it will only add to your load.

For packing clothes, roll your shirts and pants; this technique will be more efficient, neat, and won't take up much space compared to stacking. For packing arrangement, place the items you need last at the bottom of the suitcase or backpack. While the items you need most should be at the top of the suitcase or backpack. Slip small items into the empty spaces. Double-check your packing list to ensure nothing is left behind.

Oh, and don't put your valuables in the suitcase or backpack that goes into the airplane's cargo, friends.

5. Writing in English

The fifth tip for learning English quickly is by writing in English. Just like speaking English, practicing yourself to write English words will make it easier for you to acquire new vocabulary. Additionally, writing will also improve your English writing skills.

6. Etiquette

Of course, you should maintain etiquette while traveling to blend in more easily with the local community.

For example, maintain politeness, try to learn the local language, participate in cultural festivals, and dress appropriately. This way, you will be more respected and can blend in with the local community.

7. Check Your Hotel Room

Upon arriving at your destination and reaching your hotel room, you should not immediately throw yourself onto the bed and rest. It's better to check the condition inside your hotel room first. Try to see what's behind the curtains, under the bed, and inside the closet.

Check all hotel facilities starting from the AC, refrigerator, TV, water faucet, toilet flush, and make sure everything is functioning properly. If you find something amiss, you can immediately request to change rooms.

Don't forget to always lock your room door even if the room cannot be opened from the outside. Still, if someone has access to your room, they could easily open it.

8. Taste Local Cuisine

It feels incomplete to travel to a destination without tasting the local cuisine, right? Whether domestically or internationally, try to find out in advance what local dishes you can find at your destination.

Even if you only travel within one country, the local dishes in each city are usually different. You and your friends can buy different foods and then taste each other's. It's cheaper and more fun, isn't it?

For example, you and your friend visit a night market in Bangkok. You can buy tom yum while your friend buys mango sticky rice.

9. Shopping

It feels incomplete if you don't shop while traveling, friends. This means you should have prepared a budget for it from the start. Oh, also check the standard prices of the items you are targeting before going traveling.

If it's just for your own needs, you might not shop too much. However, if you want to buy souvenirs, especially if you are asked to buy various items by friends and relatives, you should prepare a larger budget.

10. Be Careful of Pickpockets

When traveling, it's best to be more vigilant. Traveling is indeed meant for fun, but don't let us become targets for bad people. Pickpockets can act in various ways, you know.

Before you go, it's best to remove all your jewelry at home so as not to attract the attention of pickpockets. Don't flaunt your gadgets too much. You need to be more aware of your surroundings, especially when in a crowd.

Make sure your bag's zipper is tightly closed, and if necessary, wear your backpack in front of your body when in crowded places.

It's also advisable to put valuable items like wallets and phones inside your bag. Don't put them in your pants pockets as they can be easily stolen. Surely you don't want your fun trip to turn sad when your belongings are lost.

Well, those are the 10 tips you must pay attention to before you travel. Hopefully, with this, your journey will feel safer and more enjoyable.
