Travel Tips: Set your compass for adventure.

There's nothing like seeing the world to bring a new perspective to just about everything. Travel is educational, entertaining and full of adventure. With so many places in the world to explore, everyone can find the vacation destination of their dreams. Here are some ideas to make the best of your travels.

When you plan a vacation trip, be flexible about your destination. While it can be fun to establish a routine by revisiting a favorite vacation spot, maintaining some variety in destinations makes your vacations more memorable and relaxing. Additionally, selecting a different destination can be key to saving a little money when the vacation budget is tight. When traveling to poor countries or countries with high crime rates, keep all of your valuables out of sight. Don't wear a camera over your shoulder or even a cheap watch on your wrist if you don't want to attract the attention of thieves and beggars. Carry a shoulder bag for these types of items instead. If you are traveling light and planning to wash laundry as you go, use your daily shower as an opportunity to wash your underwear and even your lightweight shirt. It only takes a few moments and prevents you from building up a pile of laundry that needs to be washed all at once. When eating at a restaurant where you are still unsure of the culture, pay attention to the habits of the other diners. Not only will copying them help you decide what to order, it could even prevent you from committing an embarrassing faux pass in front of the other diners. Get in a workout before boarding your flight. Long flights are found to be hard to sit through. You may find your back or legs cramping from sitting in the same position for too long. Stretching or working out before taking a flight can help reduce soreness. If you are traveling with a group, be sure to book in advance. Booking in advance will make it more likely that your group will be seated together. If you are traveling with children, you certainly do not want to leave seating arrangements to chance. Book early and confirm your seating arrangement.

COOKING 
create an authentic, memorable travel experience. When you travel alone, you have all the time in the world to do the things you want to do. You can take all-day walking tours, visit local festivals and events, or even take a few days or weeks to enjoy a class in some local skill such as cooking or creating a type of folk art that is specific to the area. You should now be able to make travel plans that will take you far. Maybe, even to places you haven't yet dreamed of. With these tips, your next trip will be more enjoyable, less stressful and as much fun as you dare make it. Bon voyage and don't forget to send postcards.
