Sometimes getting lost on purpose can bring you on a wonderful adventure.

Always pack a towel and extra socks.

Take advantage of special deals for tourists, such as free walking tours around cities.

Learn a few local phrases or have a translation app handy on your phone.

Keep both hard copies and soft copies of your documents.

Bring a small padlock. You’ll be surprised at how it can come in handy!

Consider travelling in low peak seasons like September or October. You’ll get cheaper deals and avoid crowds.
