Bottled Water Can Keep You Healthy

- When travelling to countries where the local water is unsafe to drink, always be sure to purchase bottled water (and check the seals!) When you are finished drinking from the bottle, poke a hole in the bottom so that they cannot be refilled and sold as new.

Cheaper Rail Passes

- When traveling in Europe, it is cheaper to buy individual rail passes if you are only going to one or two countries, instead of buying a Eurail pass that covers eighteen. The individual one, such as the Swiss Pass or the France Rail/Drive, can give you much more for a better price.

Check Your Room Before You Decide to Stay

- When traveling to many third world countries, before paying for a room, make sure to look at the room first. Along the same lines, take a quick tour of the hotel before deciding to stay. Even though some of the hotels may be nice on the outside, what is on the inside is not always up to your standards.

Do You Have the Insurance You Really Need?

- Travel Insurance? Do you have yours? Many people assume their travel insurance covers them while they are outside of their home country. But they do not realize that they need new or additional coverage to protect them against things like medical evacuations, sudden and unexpected emergenicies, terrorism, etc. Be proactive and research your insurance needs before you travel outside of your home country.

Have Fun with the Locals

- My philosophy of travel includes giving something back to the places and people I visit while traveling. Sometimes it's just a laugh (playing my jaw harp on the roads in Bali to a growing crowd had old women holding their sides) or a game (an outside faucet and some balloons easily translated into a heated game of catch with local kids in the park in Batopilas at the bottom of Mexico's Copper Canyon). Rubber animal noses helped pass many an evening in the little guest houses in Nepal while trekking there 8 years ago. With some paper and crayons we made masks and had our own little halloween party. It wasn't just the kids who got involved either! I figure if I'm traveling to have fun I might as well share some of that with locals as well!
