6. Just because you have an outlet adapter that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to charge your technology well.

25. When you travel, try to stay in one location and revisit places once or twice. A restaurant will always appreciate a returning customer.

41. Respect customs agents even if they are assholes and super condescending to you. They literally control your fate. Throw in a, “yes Ma’am/Sir”, if you really want to seal the deal. If that doesn’t work, literally start worshipping them. Form a cult dedicated to their honor if you must.

52. Book early – Flights, hostels, and work arrangements. Be organized and pay beforehand. For long trips, I’d say schedule a few months in advance.

16. You don’t need to “dress to impress”, but make an effort to blend into the culture. Wear a scarf, shave, and/or loss the sneakers when appropriate.

44. Try to save travel money. Always have that in mind because funds are essential. Do you really need that other thing right now or can you put your wallet away for when you are in Croatia? Your choice.

26. Pack less than you expect you’ll need. You can still buy things when you’re abroad. Also, packing less may make you more sociable. You’ll have to interact, ask questions, and go out into the world in order to get what you want. It may be the necessary kick in your timid pants that you’ll need to start exploring your destination.

10. No matter where you go, there is always an upper and lower class. Or at least, the former will remind you of this fact.

13. You and your host family should try to learn from each other. That means you both have to be open minded.

113. When it comes to national holidays, independence days and such, remember those who were not the “nationals” who helped build the nation and especially what nations were and still are there.
