3 4 5 6 7 [Next] - 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! Explorations in Travel Explorations in Travel ID1166 - When you're planning to visit bazaars, but you don't like to be hassled by vendors all the time, here's a tip: pick out one of those so called students that offers to guide you around. Make clear to him you want to walk and look around but don't plan to buy anything. You pay him a little amount of money, he'll keep the vendors off, and you won't get lost in these dark, narrow streets (that all look the same)! Lies Rottiers ID1158 - Having been the veteran of many walking holidays in both this country (UK) and further afield, I feel qualified to share a tip that has always stood me well. During holidays such as walking trips, you are likely to cover considerable ground - so you are wise to prepare your feet well. If blisters develop on your feet whilst trekking towards Matchu Picchu in Peru, you can't go looking for a chemist to solve the problem. My tip: 1. Make sure you carry an adequate supply of Vaseline or Neutrogena cream to apply to your feet before you begin to walk. This enables the free movement of your skin inside your boots, without causing blistering. 2. If you do develop a blister that pops, apply an antibiotic cream such as Neosporin and put on a band aid to prevent infection. For Latin America and Spain destination guides, be sure to visit Pura Aventura Active Holidays. Peter Richards ID2201 - You definitely do not want to travel to some far away, foreign city only to find out that you have not brought enough cash to comfortably sustain yourself. If a particular city is going through a recession, you need to know it. If there is a fuel price increase, you need to know it. The last thing you are going to want is to get an easy cash advance because you found out that you simply could not afford normal necessities while on your trip. So be sure to make yourself completely aware of the financial status that, not only your wallet is enduring, but also the city or country you are visiting as well. Anthony ID2260 - In a restaurant, ask for a bottle of water UNOPENED. Have them open it at the table, and you can be sure you won't get local water ... bottled.
