5. Only use tourist transport

While it offers safety and comfort, tourist transport is usually very costly. So if you’re on a budget, using only tourist transport to get around isn’t worth it at all. You shouldn’t be afraid to give public transport a try; not only will it help you save money but also get closer to the locals and truly experience the city you’re visiting. And in case you’re not comfortable with the idea of using public transport, you can always rent a car and move as freely and safely as you want.

4. Choose a restaurant with Free wi-fi

Let me ask you one very important question: why would anyone consider free wi-fi as the most important factor when looking for a good restaurant? I mean, we basically spend some precious time trying to find a good restaurant so we can enjoy a delicious or authentic meal, and not to connect to the internet and forget about the real world and the actual reason why we are so far from home.

3. Place love locks on every bridge you see

Do you really think that a lock will symbolize and even preserve the love of your life? On your travels, you should seriously let go of the overly-romantic idea of putting a love lock on every bridge you see. Besides the fact that those love locks are overpriced, some bridges are literally about to collapse due to the weight of too many locks.

2. Complain when nobody speaks English

Complaining when nobody speaks English is one of the most annoying traveler habits. Just keep in mind that you traveled all this way to get proper cultural experience, and the least you can expect is for locals to speak English. Actually, you should be the one trying to learn some basic sentences or even words in the local dialect so you can connect better with those around you, as well as show your respect.

1. Let the locals know about your country

While visiting a foreign country, you should do your very best to resist the temptation of starting every sentence with “in my country…” Besides being annoying and completely unnecessary, comparing everything that’s happening around you to your own very familiar country is only going to ruin the real meaning of traveling and exploring. Also, it’s rude and insulting to make it sound like your country is better at everything while talking to people who come from different places. And one important piece of advice: please keep your perspective on history and politics to yourself. After all, traveling is all about embracing other cultures, traditions, lifestyles, and mindsets.
