If you plan to be travelling for more than a week, make accommodations for your pets. Your neighbor or sister-in-law may assure you that stopping by is not a hassle, but you should not place that obligation on them for any longer than a week. There are many kennels and vet offices that will be glad to feed, play with and even, bathe your pets.
 
To avoid any awkward confrontations, do some research if you are traveling to a foreign nation. This includes looking up standard phrases such as "thank you," "how much" and "how are you." You should also look around for standard customs of the country, such as gestures, so that you can avoid offending anyone with gestures or body language that seem normal to you.
 
Keep your money in your front pocket when walking around in a new city or location. It is far easier for a pick pocket or other criminal to snatch money out of your back pocket without you even realizing it. Having your money in the front gives you more control, especially if you walk with your hands in your pockets.
 
If you are traveling and planning to wash laundry in your hotel room, set up your drying line somewhere with a good breeze, preferably in front of a fan. In areas with extremely high humidity, your laundry will not dry quickly enough to avoid developing a smell unless there is also air movement.
 
Protect your liquids from spilling when you travel with a homemade bottle stopper. Before screwing the cap on your travel-sized toiletries, cover the top with a small piece of plastic removed from a plastic shopping bag. This will both protect your clothes from the liquid and keep the liquid inside its container.
 
It can be beneficial when traveling to put together a large group of friends and family to travel with. In a large group, one will be less vunerable to criminals targeting lone tourists who look like 'easy pickings.' You will also have the added bonus of sharing your trip with the ones you are close to.
 
If you wish to travel abroad, try learning about the language. You can easily find small guides that contain all the essential words, in case you get lost or need something. Do not assume that everybody will speak English and people will be more friendly if you try speaking their language.
 
To stay in good health, you should go see your doctor after traveling abroad. Ask your doctor to test you for exotic diseases to make sure you have not contracted anything while abroad. Just in case you contracted something, you can get the help you need quickly and not contaminate the people around you.
 
You should always bring something that will keep you occupied on a flight. A simple entertainer is a pen and paper. You can play games, write poems, draw little sketches, anything you can imagine. This will keep your mind focused so you are not concerned about how much longer the flight will be.
 
Make sure that your insurance covers you on vacation. For example, will they cover a cancelled flight? It is worth your time to do some research before you leave.
 
Make sure you double or even triple check all of your reservations before you leave for your trip. Just call the hotels you are staying at or make sure none the events you were planning on going to got cancelled. You don't want to be left stranded with no where to stay or disappointed that your favorite band isn't going to play in the city you are going to visit just to see them live. There's nothing wrong with checking your plans for your trip.
 
Challenge yourself to pack only one bag. The more bags you have, the more weighed down you will be making it harder to move from one location to the next. A great way to meet this challenge is to map out your clothing needs prior to packing, and then consider ways to mix and match clothing to do double and even triple duty.
 
Educate yourself on how your cellphone and plan will function when you are traveling. Do not go on vacation unawares and end up with a bill that exceeds five dollars a minute because you did not check with your provider before you made roaming calls. You may be better off making calls from a land-line in your hotel.
 
The tips outlined above should have offered some insight as to where and how you can begin making your own travel plans. Remember that this collection of tips cover the basics of traveling: find out more about your destination and apply this advice to your particular vacation.
