James Meeker, a travel enthusiast, and photojournalist believe travel is a cure for all humanly problems. Apart from various health benefits it also allows everyone to understand different cultures and familiarize themselves with various facts and history pertaining to that place. Mark Twain once quoted “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” Such an impactful quote implores you to experience different cultures and appreciate the intricacies of the same.

Having basic information about the place you want to travel to is always beneficial. Learning about the local markets, identifying shops and food places and landmarks is important. Moreover, other information like the place’s history and facts can help you know about the culture better.
2. Money matters
If you are traveling to a different country, get the complete information regarding their currency and understand the exchange rate to avoid getting exploited. Having enough cash will help you when you are in need. Local stalls and small shops normally prefer payments in cash so make sure you carry enough of it.

Traveling alone may seem exciting but in case you get in some trouble, being alone in an unknown country can be a nightmare. Additionally having someone alongside you will double your fun and allow you to go beyond your limits.
