3. Adopting An Irregular Eating Schedule
Having a regular eating schedule and not skipping any meals are two essential eating habits to have. So why would you change these habits while traveling? Sure, it can be quite hard considering that you will probably be making different things each day. Also, mealtimes can get out of your control. But you should make a real effort to maintain your eating schedule during your time abroad.

Fortunately, there are many online platforms such as TripAdvisor, Yelp, or Zomato, where you can find restaurant recommendations in the city you are visiting.
