What not to do on an overseas vacation
A trip to overseas to an exotic land is a fantasy in itself. To see the world abroad is something only a few lucky people get to experience in their lifetime. Beautiful lands and beautiful cultures are cherished memories waiting for you to experience and to create.
There are somethings you should and shouldn’t do while abroad. It is best to be safe than sorry. Anything can happen while you are far from home. Enjoy the scenery while you can. While you are abroad, be sure to keep the listed guidance close to home. Be safe and have the time of your life. You deserve it.
Drink only bottle water. Some water ways overseas are not the cleanest and could be dangerous to your health. Be sure to purchase a great deal of drinking water while abroad. You can never be too sure of how clean and safe abroad water actually is.
Watch what you eat. Lands overseas eat differently than what you may be accustomed to. If it looks good, eat it. This is a wise decision. But always question them to find out what you are eating, before diving into great cuisines.
Stay in public places. Public places include group tours, restaurants or beaches. It is always best to stay in view of other people. This will help you to stay safe in a foreign land.
Do not go anywhere with a stranger. Strangers can be deadly idea for anyone, overseas or not. If you plan on visiting or taking a tour while abroad, go in a group. Fewer things are likely to happen to you. Another great tip is to always be sure someone knows where you are going to be at all times.
Do not carry ATM or check book. You should only carry cash with you. This will ensure that no money from your actual bank account will be tampered with. If you need more cash while you are overseas, you can have a friend or family member wire transfer you more money.
Do not be afraid to ask questions. Asking a question never hurt anyone. It is always best to ask if you are unsure of what is going on around you. You will be surprised to learn all new, interesting facts.
The cultures and environment is clearly different than the United States. A safe trip doesn’t equal boring. Exciting new adventures await you.
