Be a smart traveller!

Here are some travel tips which makes you a better traveller.

Take a small backpack / suitcase

If you will take a small backpack, you will be forced to pack light and avoid carrying too much stuff.

Humans have a natural tendency to fill space so if you pack light but have lots of extra room in your bag, you'll end up going "well, I guess I can take more" and then regret it.

Take an extra bank card and credit card with you

Disasters happen. It's always good to have a backup in case you get robbed or lose a card.

You do not want to be stuck somewhere new without access to your funds.

Do not be afraid to use a map.

Looking like a tourist is not as bad as getting really lost and ending up in the wrong neighbourhood.

Do not be afraid to use a map or ask for directions and look like a tourist. After all, you are one!

Make extra copies of your passport and important documents.

Do not forget to e-mail a copy to yourself too.

You never know when you might need some sort of documentation with you and might not want to carry your original.

Additionally, if your passport gets stolen having a copy will come in handy for your police report.

Carry a basic first-aid kit.

Accidents happen so be prepared.

You never know when you're going to need it and you cannot always get it when you travel.
