Activities<br />
1. BE FLEXIBLE.<br />
We always plan for delays and try not to get upset<br />
when things inevitably go wrong. Patience is<br />
extremely important when traveling!<br />
2. MAKE A LIST.<br />
About a week or so before each trip, I make a<br />
mental list of items I don’t want to forget — which I<br />
WILL forget if I don’t write them down. I’ve learned<br />
that when I think of something, I need to write it<br />
down.<br />
3. LEARN COMMON PHRASES OF THE LOCAL LANGUAGE.<br />
A simple “Please,” “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry” in<br />
the local language goes a long way. I also like to<br />
learn the word for beer, but that’s just me.<br />
4. DON’T FORGET AN EXTRA CAMERA BATTERY<br />
(OR TWO)<br />
Have you ever gotten to that epic sunset photo<br />
spot and realized your camera battery is dead and<br />
you don’t have a back up? I try to bring at least<br />
three camera batteries on all of our trips so that<br />
we don’t miss out on that perfect shot.<br />
5. ALWAYS BRING A SARONG<br />
Sarongs can be used as a wrap when you are cold,<br />
a towel, a curtain, or a piece of clothing that can<br />
be worn dozens of different ways. Solid colors are<br />
great, but if you want something that stands out, I<br />
love this sarong.<br />
6. ALWAYS BUY TRAVEL INSURANCE<br />
A medical emergency can wipe out your savings —<br />
or even worse. We use and trust World Nomads for<br />
travel insurance.<br />
