#11 Basic Law Knowledge
Having a rudimentary understanding of the laws of the land can help you to avoid falling foul of the law. Many travelers find themselves in hot water due to a misunderstanding or complete lack of knowledge of what is deemed acceptable and what constitutes a crime whilst abroad. For example, in some countries drinking alcohol on the street is an offence so don’t let the good times impair your judgement.
#12 Seek Advice From Your Hotel
The staff at your accommodation should be able to provide with all kinds of helpful local advice to ensure you have an enjoyable and stress-free vacation. Ask if there are certain areas that should be avoided, where are the safest places for tourists and check about local laws and regulations. If you’re unsure of how to get somewhere then ask for written directions. It’s also a great idea to write down the name, address and contact number of the hotel in case you do get lost.
