Don't get lost in the forest ๐. You can easy get lost in cities but easy to get on the right path back. It can be funny to just dwalling in cities.
I must remember that if I am ever a time traveller.
Top of my list would be not having adequate travel insurance cover.
I can't believe you said Natchez, MS was cool. ๐ I'm a government contractor and was sent there for work for 3 weeks, and I was ready to jump off a bridge! ๐
I love your channelโคโค๐
Hi Mark! I absolutely love your Travel videos! Me and my family love to sit and watch them! Thank you for all the tips. Me and my husband are off to Amsterdam in January for our wedding anniversary!
Its a sin to go somewhere else and order the exact same food you get at home like a plain cheeseburger. Ask the staff what they suggest thats adventurous, theyre not going to play a trick on you , they want you to enjoy yourself

The quirks are what makes each country themselves.
I loved your video a cordial greeting from Mexico City๐ฒ๐ฝ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
I agree to pretty much everything on this list, except for the โdont expect your card or phone to work where ever you goโ – unless your going somewhere exotic, you will be able to pay with your card pretty much anywhere in the world today. And same goes for using your phone, just check that roaming is on. Dont know about the phone costs if your american going to europe, but for europeans the phone costs are not going to be high unless you go out of your way to make it expensive. You can use your phone without worrying.
Thank you for this. I am a very careful person and absolutley not experienced in traveling. I plan on doing more, but so many thinks make me so unsure. Videos like this help so much, because these things are obvious but also not.
When packing, there are three piles: What you will definitely use (5 days of clothes only); what you might use; and just in case. You don't need "What you might use", if you need it, then go buy it. The only "just in case" thing you must take is medicine (and take several days more than you might need, in case of delays) any thing else, if you need it, go buy it and you will have a souvenir of your trip. I've never been anywhere in the world, where I couldn't get what I need. Any seasoned round the world traveler will tell you "Take more money, take less stuff." I might disagree about staying outside of the center of a city to save money. I stayed in Toledo instead of Madrid and loved it. However, I also stayed at Place d'Italie instead of the Left bank in Paris and regretted it.
The mistake I most often make visiting a new country is that I would hear how nice and friendly the locals are and although this is nearly always true, it doesn't in any way mean that people who come up to you can start a friendly chat isn't going to scam you or want something from you. This is especially true I find in Egypt, Turkey and India. People in these countries are generally very friendly, possibly much more so than in your own country, but the ones who approach you and starts a nice conversation probably want to scam you.
But…
Where do I get that Magic Fanny Pack?
I followed your advice about packing your suitcase and taking half the things out and all I was left with was underwear, shoes and socks for my trip. I got some very funny looks and spent most of my trip in a jail cell. Thanks Wolters World!
2 years ago my wife and I went to Italy. We exchanged our money at the airport in Rome. We gave 2000 usd and got back 1200 euros, 700 dollars disappeared in a matter of seconds.
Thank you for these great tips!

I saw St. Louis and its Gateway Arch when I heard the mention of Natchez. The only commonality between the two is that they're on the Mississippi River, that's it.
Itโs not a bad idea to bring some local currency in cash do you have some when you get there. Card might not work for some reason or you just never know when you need cash
About weather, in some countries, such mine, Belgium, take always rain and sun clothes, because it'd change from 35ยฐC (95ยฐF) blue sky and sun to 20ยฐ (65ยฐF) and heavy rain in a less than one hour.
In Eastern Europe, there are very hot summer and very cold winter, be sure to check the right clothes, such as Croatia, not only sun, it's also snow. They even have Nordic ski in Delnice.
Worst, in tropical regions, there are the rain season and/or the hurricane season, be sure to check before and not just think "Tropical countries are always sunny".
I donโt understand the conversion thingโฆ?
Thank you! โค
When travelling as a group (family or group of friends) I think its really helpful to discuss and agree on what each person wants to do on the trip. Trying to do everything together can work, but sometimes be flexible and let people do things in smaller groups or on their own. When we travelled as a family with young kids my wife and I would often support each other to have a day off from child care to do something they really wanted and swap over etc. Important thing is to communicate and check in with each other ๐
One common mistake I see tourists make when visiting the Alps/Alpine region of Europe is they underestimate how quickly the weather changes. Sunnyโฆboomโฆchilly and rainy in the same day. So, dress in layers all year. A local older lady once told me to always look at the mountain top as a temperature predictor: snowy mountain top (cold temperature in lakes) no snow (lakes are warm). Just because itโs sunny, doesnโt mean the water is.
How do we find non tourist restaurants?
You donโt have to call your bank, that used to be true years ago but not anymore. They couldnโt care less. This channel is directed exclusively at boomers? Some of these tips are antiquated.
Another basic tip: don't drink to much in a foreign country, without local friends there. You need to be fully aware if you slip up somehow.
The best option for connectivity abroad are eSim cards, that you can buy before the trip, they work in multiple regions, and are pretty cheap. Real game changer to have internet access as soon as the plane lands.
I have travel around the world two times. What is said in this video is true for first time travelers. My traveling has always been, get a hotel in city center. Yes, I pay more but most sites, activities and restaurants can be walked if not a short public transport ride. If I like a country, I will go again away from the well-known cities and emerge myself into the country culture. Key is to have a good translator and laugh a lot. Do not take anything said personal. You are the guest to enjoy the experience.
