Problems When Traveling... And How to Deal With Them


One can bear in mind these very easy tips to follow for a worry free travel even when circumstances are not on your side. The following are according to one travel blogger:
  • When it rains: play games, visit museums and galleries, take an umbrella and go out anyway
  • When the tourists are swarming: get out earlier, laugh it off, make friends, or get off the beaten track
  • When the hawkers are in your face selling t-shirts: politely but firmly decline (unless you want one) and move on
  • When the coveted cafe or nook has clearly been bulldozed for a shopping complex: shrug and seek out some other local haunts
  • When the place just doesn’t look like the postcards/guidebook promised: lighten up. Try and ‘discover’ things rather than visiting all the usual suspects
  • When you get sick: Don’t push through it; give in, look after yourself and cross your fingers it’s a 24-hour thing.
  • You get robbed: Report it to the police, keep safe, try and keep going. Don’t let it be your only holiday memory.
Any more problems you can think of? Post it in the comment section below. Thanks
