3. Currency Exchange

If you know that the country you are going to has a different type of currency, check the most recent exchange rate. The most commonly used currencies like US dollars or euros are not used all around the globe and you might need to exchange some money beforehand. You can find currency exchange points at the airport. However, be careful and do not trust strangers with your money – there’re plenty of thugs around such places in absolutely every country.

4. Familiarize with the Local Population and Culture

Being acquainted with the part of the world you intend to visit is an essential part of successful travelling. Tourists and visitors must be informed about local rules and laws as well as culture and traditions. For example, in Spain it is normal that people who are not close friends kiss each other on the cheek when they greet each other while in Japan you must not touch the person and simply bow instead. The more you know about the requirements, the fewer mistakes you’ll make during your stay. All you need is to learn some certain basics to feel comfortable enough. It’s especially important if the traveller is planning to stay overseas for a long time.
