Follow our list travel tips you should follow to make you a pro on the road in 2019.

11. Always carry a lock (or a couple)

Keeping your stuff safe or storing things away will surely be a lot easier if you carry some locks with you. Always go with combination locks — you don’t have to worry about keeping track of the keys!

12. Use technology…but sparingly

Sure — you’ll be tempted to just tap your way through the reviews of thousands of other travelers to find the best pizza in Chicago or the best shepherd’s pie in London. BUT make sure you put your phone down and go old school sometimes; try asking a local for directions or get lost in a central market area until you discover some real hidden gems.

13. Eat the local food

What’s Jakarta without its yummy satays? What’s Hanoi without a warm bowl of pho? The best way to really get to know a place is through its unique cuisine, so whatever restrictions you may usually have, put them aside and let your palate create some unforgettable memories. Plus, you’ll find that you save yourself a lot of money by mainly eating wallet-friendly local delicacies.

14. Do the touristy stuff

When time is limited there’s no shame in hitting up the popular things to do and see. Who wants to go to Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower, or go to Egypt and not see the Pyramids of Giza? There’s no need to be a travel snob — you can tick off these famous sights guilt-free.

15. Take the free walking tours

Hey, it’s free — what more can we say? These free walking tours are available in most major cities. Guides are often noted for their humorous insight into the history and culture of their hometowns, and only expect a tip for their services. Another motivating factor to join the tour would be a chance to meet other travelers just like you.

16. Check about prices BEFORE you hop on public transportation

Tempted to jump that jeepney in Manila? Wanna hop that tuk-tuk in Mumbai? Well, think twice. If there are no meters used on the public transport you’re trying to use, then the price needs to be negotiated before you set foot in the vehicle. Some modes of transport will knowingly charge double or triple to take advantage of travelers’ unfamiliarity with their new environs.

17. Keep a journal of some sort

Yes, we’re all about being lost in the moment when you’re traveling, but at the end of a long day of amazing experiences, take some time to jot down what you did and what you saw. Make sure to caption special images you may have taken. Years from now, you won’t remember much, and if all those memories are lost in the fog of time, you won’t be able to recall or recount them to others.

18. Talk to the locals

While ambling through a new location, make sure to take time to speak to the locals. While the language might be a barrier, you’ll find that hand signs and even drawn out images can bridge the gap. So, when you’re tempted to look at your travel app for where to find the best ceviche in coastal Peru, just try asking a local, “Where do you and your friends like to go?” You’ll find the answers open up a whole new world of experiences.

19. Respect local customs

Finally, it’s important to always respect your hosts and the host country. Some cultural practices may be strange to you. Handshakes and hugs may not be appropriate when greeting, while eating and drinking may or may/may not require utensils. It doesn’t hurt to even read up on what’s accepted etiquette and what’s frowned upon. Doing so will make you a well-behaved traveler who only leaves behind smiles and new friends.
