Do not do too much research and donβt watch a lot of videos and blog pictures of the place you are going to visit, let it be a surprise for yourself to have a firsthand experience :) always works for me ..
Be open-minded and respectful towards nature, place, their culture, lifestyle and breathe deeply - you will have the best time ever with every journey you experience. + Wherever you go sit calmly and enjoy sunrises and sunsetsπ
Have lots of patience when you are on a trip, there might be some delays and some of your plans might not workout but don't loose your patience and the trip will be pleasant π
Tention choro chalo Safar mein chahe 2 kapdo mein. Par Safar kartay raho , zindagi ki mithas har jagah hai chahe pahad ho samudra ho , pahado ki thandak dastak derahi hai to chaldo . Subha ki Dhoop ka maza hi alag hai fir Kyun Leni tention agar pass kuch nhn hai to fir bhi chal do Safar apnay app acha hota jayega.
While travelling, the traveller should try to be interactive, extrovert, attentive and a good learner as travelling have something new at every point (i.e new people, culture, situations, place etc). so keep learning, keep travelling with necessary things ( water bottle, light & air). Enjoy travel its amazingπ

Follow these 5 steps and travel like a professional. Travelling is an expensive hobby and hotels are the most expensive thing in traveling. If you are
traveling solo or in groups, you should try to stay in hostels. Hostels provide you the experience of
interacting with people all over the world, sharing different cultures, suggesting each other places and all
these for a very small amount of money. Follow the following steps to find a perfect stay for yourself.
5) If you are a student, ask for discounts.
I am a student and I have saved a lot of bucks by showing my student ID. Don't ever feel shy to ask for
student discount anywhere you go, it is just like a discount coupon.
4) Always pay at the stay
"Itinerary is a myth". " If you don't change the plans while traveling you are not traveling correctly".
There would be a very very long list of quotes if I would sit and quote all of them. So try not to pre-pay
your stay, plan changes faster than the clothes.
3) Search for hotels (Only if you don't find a hostel)
Search for the hotels which define the city, for example, if you are visiting Jaipur, you should stay in some
palace themed hotel rather than visiting some modern hotel.
2) Ask/Search on Tripoto/hostelworld.com
Tripoto community is pretty responsive you are most likely to get an answer from travelers around the world. The sole purpose of hostelworld.com is to help you find a perfect hostel. Bookings for almost all the hostels can
be done through this site.
Eat local. Food is one of the best reflection of local cultures. And local food joints are the hosts of local social fibre. Grab your Kachori in Rawat (Jaipur) or Ashok Vada Pav (Mumbai) or Johny Benjo (Indore) or Mirchi Vada at Surya Namkeen (Jodhpur) or buttery idlis at Taza Thindi (Bengaluru). Hold your place and listen to the chatter, talk to the bloke on the next table, ask for recommendations, take in the fragrances and feel the ambience. This is my trick to find my place near the heart of my new destination.
Do not have any expectations and always remember journey is more memorable than the destination itself so see it more like a journey than like travel . Then comes other stuff like pack light , keep the proper medications and always have a powerbank .
Try to live with a local family. You will get to learn so much about their culture, cuisine, etc. I stayed with an himachali family on my recent travel. They are so kind, generous and happy that I got a new perspective of living life. They even cooked various local dishes for us. It was one of the best travel experience I had.
Happy travelling ππ€
