Travelling could be the best investment ever. Don’t let the fear overcome you. Please do not be scared of investing in travel because it will pay off in the end when you look out the window, and the view and the scenery will take you to another world. Take a lot of pictures. We have just one life, take advantage of it and do whatever we want to do. Say yes to the opportunity, step out of your comfort zone, say yes to anything that makes you enthusiastic and energetic.
Just step out and explore the world and live an adventure. But many myths revolve around. Stop believing them!! Here are some common traveling myths that will stop you from traveling. Let’s have a look.
Traveling is extravagant
The most common myth that we hear often is that traveling is so expensive. We can not afford it. But you know what? Travelling is cheaper than living in a big city like the USA. While traveling, you don’t have to worry about your bills, loans, and other household expenses. How can taxes be ignored?
But if you want to live in luxurious hotels then, of course, you will run out of money. But if you plan your trip smartly and by researching, book cheap hotels wisely, you will surely be able to save money, and you do not find it hard. Nowadays there are so many budget alternatives for accommodation there—lots of luxurious hotels that charge around 40$ for one night stay. We assure you that if you count all your spendings in your home, including monthly bills, loans, grocery, and Internet bills, you will find out that they are more expensive than a trip.
By eating street food, you will be sick
I would not say that street food is healthy or won’t make you sick because it could do. But you know that while eating in a 5-star restaurant, you are not sure what is happening in a kitchen; while eating street food, you can see it in front of you. Streat foods are cheaper as compared to 5-star hotels. Eating street food is fun and entertaining while traveling. It gives you the chance to taste their culture, their cuisine. You can not say that all street foods are unhealthy; they could be healthy, so do not be judgemental too quickly.
If you are a newbie to try street food, keep in mind some of these precautions.
Do proper research on street foods. You can also consult locals. You should follow the crowd if you are a fresher. Avoid eating ready-made foods; prefer the foods that are cooked in front of you. Avoid taking dirty or dodgy foods and foods with high content of oil.
Traveling is dangerous
If you want to get rid of this fear first thing, Stop listening to news channels!! They thrive on whooper and over-dramatization. Whenever you listen to the news, you will hear the news of assault, pickpocketing, and wretched moments that can be unavoidable. But the fact is these kinds of unfortunate events can happen anywhere, and it’s mainly due to the lack of education and ignorance.
From my personal experience, I must say that travel is not as dangerous as news channels tell us. So avoid listening to them and avoid people who are never there but follow what they have heard. People always ask what the worst thing that happened to you while traveling but trust me, there is nothing worst than these people. Only the misfortune that happens is missing transport or losing something! Rob or any accident can be avoided if you use your full brain; that’s it. Here are
some tips that will save your time and waste money while traveling. Just remember these things and enjoy your trip, despite what other people tell you.
Do Not wear heavy and expensive jewelry while traveling. Don’t keep your money in just one place. Don’t walk around areas that are not lit up. Just keep your mobile phones and wallets in the front pocket, instead keep them in a back pocket, it would save you from pickpocketing.
English is mandatory while traveling
There is no doubt that English is widely spoken, but it’s wrong to say that you don’t travel if you don’t know English. Because when you go somewhere, they already have arranged a translator, in case if they can’t, you don’t need to worry about memorizing the general words like hello, thank you, taxi, help me, etc. Also, remember that if you are in another country, don’t get frustrated if they cannot understand your English because you are in their territory, not in yours, So try to calm yourself.
Instead of all these things, smiles and hand gestures are the best and cutest way of communication.
Women Should not travel alone
Women should not travel alone! As we see in the present era, hundreds of women are encouraging themselves to step out alone. Traveling alone is such a good thing that you are free to do anything you want; you can go wherever you want, make your schedules, go to places of your choice, and no 3rd person will interfere.
Our women are strong, and they can make their way on their own.
If you can survive in your own country, you can live in any country, but you have to take some precautions that dont walk in the night and don’t get in the car with strangers. Women’s six senses are very strong; they can judge others’ intentions in no time, So always listen to your guts. If you can survive at your home, you can survive on the road, too!
Have a safe journey!!
