10 important things to remember whilst you are travelling

1. Don't trust anybody. He may be 6 feet tall and strappingly handsome, but he is probably not the man of your dreams! Tourists are easy to prey on so be careful, especially if you're travelling alone. 

2. Do everything you possibly can. Yes is always a good answer. Don't be afraid to test your boundaries. You may never get this opportunity again. 

3. Clothes can be re-bought. If you haven't worn it or its heavy, throw it out! There will be plenty of cheap shops and markets for you to check out along the way. You can even get clothes handmade in some counties for next to nothing! And these are bound to be more sentimental than any item off the high street. 

4. Your family and friends will be waiting for you when you get back home. It's okay to be homesick, everyone experiences this whilst travelling. Just remember why you decided to go travelling in the first place; to experience new things and to meet new people. 

5. Friends come and go. You are going to meet heaps of travellers. Don't let anybody hold you back -you will only regret it in the long run.

6. Make sure you bring lots of layers. The weather can change from one part of the county to the next. One thing you don't want to become is sick, something I've experienced already. 

7. Listen to your body. Don't overdo it like I've been doing. Rest is just as important as seeing everything. There's only so much you can do its a day but time is certainly in your favour when you're  travelling. Just don't feel like you need to do something life changing every single day. There's always tomorrow...or the next day.

8. Drink lots of water and eat well. Keeping hydrated and energy levels flowing will only make your trip more enjoyable. Obviously don't splash all your money on an expensive meal every night, but if it comes to it, you may have to opt for the burger over the beer. Sorry guys!

9. Learn how the locals live. You don't want to be rude or caught in a situation which can be avoided. Every city has free guides and you will find a lot of things you need to know online too. No need for that pricey lonely planet book after all...

10. Stay open minded. You are going to experience some things or people you may not like or agree with along the way, but travelling is much more fun when the unexpected happens. No need to panic!
