By Belinda Norbert


While travel can be a rewarding, fun experience, it can also be dangerous and daunting! If you're planning a trip and aren't sure what to expect, read on to find out what everyone should know before setting off on a trip, whether it be for vacation or another reason.

When traveling out of the country, it is advisable to drink only bottled water. This is especially important in countries where the quality of their tap water may be questionable. It's better to possibly pay a bit more and be safe than risk getting sick because of contaminated tap water.

When picking a destination to travel to pick somewhere that is affordable. You don't want to travel somewhere that is so expensive you can't enjoy yourself to the fullest. You want to make sure you have fun, but at the same time, you want to make it fit into your budget.

If you're going to be traveling soon, don't go through a travel agent. You'll find your trip costing twice as much. Rather, shop around on the web through different bargain website dealers. This will help you save some money that can be better spent when you arrive at your destination, perhaps on souvenirs, or for that nice guy that gave you this tip.

Be flexible. If your travel dates can be tweaked by a day or two, try using the "flexible dates" feature of most travel search engines. This allows you to search departure and return dates within a given range. By just changing your dates by a day or two, you may be able to score huge savings on airfare.

Drive through windows at fast food places almost inevitably give you too much or too little sugar or other sweetener when you order coffee or tea. When traveling, don't throw the extra away! Tuck into a baggie or maybe a little tin and keep it for the next time you are shorted. It sure beats having to turn around and go back through the drive through!

When traveling by airplane, look for shops in the airport that have swap shelves. These shelves are for travelers to brings books and exchange them for other books. So if your flight is delayed and you finished your book already, head over to a swap shelf and exchange it for one you've been wanting to read!

When you know you will be on an airplane for an extended amount of time, make sure you dress for the occasion. Wearing tight jeans will not be comfortable and will make you miserable by the end of the ride. Try sweatpants or a loose fitting cotton dress.

No matter what sort of travel plans you have, whether it's a cruise around the world or a road trip to a neighboring state, your trip will go more smoothly if you take advantage of the advice in this article. Just remember what you've learned and you'll have a great time.
