75. If you as a citizen of the United States are often abroad during important national holidays, I recommend doing very American activities to compensate for your utter lack of patriotism. Nothing obnoxious of course, but why not spend a little time at Starbucks on the 4th of July in Prague or buy something online you definitely do not need on Labor Day in Taiwan? Very American.

50. Touch your palm – it is warm. You are living, so live. Celebrate life’s intricacies and subtleties everyday whether you travel or not.

124. As a rule of thumb, it is good to at least be able to read more than one alphabet/orthography; it can help out in a pinch.

56. Weather expectations while traveling can be harmful. Always remember that your destination may not be the sunny paradise you think it will be, so pack appropriately.

93. Make friends with the food truck workers. They are saints.

4. When a park ranger tells you to get your hands off a Giant Tortoise, you better get your hands off the damn turtle!

115. Beware in Swedish clubs – if you are a short human being, prepare to be manhandled.

89. No matter where you are or where you all come from, talk to your roommates/suite-mates/partners about what bothers you. Do not let any situation between you all get out of hand.
