1. Take some measures to deal with airsickness and to overcome jetlag. Do not drink alcohol, replace it with plenty of water and try to sleep as much as possible during your flight.

2. Do not take a lot of things with you. It regards not only your clothes, but also your technical gadgets. Is it really necessary to take a laptop, a smartphone, a musical player, a camera and other similar things with you? We do not think so. Take the essentials only.

3. Pay respect to local traditions and customs. Keep in mind that you are a guest in that country and make your behavior correspond to the locally accepted standards.

4. Do not judge everything from your habitual angle of view. Be ready to embrace a lot of new things. Be open-minded. Absorb and enjoy. After all, isn’t that the whole point of traveling?

 7. Taste local cuisine. It will tell you a lot about the country and its inhabitants. Almost every country has some dishes it is famous for. Taste them. If you are not ready to go to expensive restaurants, try street food. It may be delicious as well.
