Whether you need guidance to the nearest hospital or if you need help to call the police, knowing key phrases will speed up your communication skills. Do not be afraid to hide the truth Knowing locals along your journey can be an interesting experience, but if the questions make you feel uncomfortable, it’s okay to hide some of the truth for your sake. Keep in mind the habits and culture of the place Keep in mind the culture of where you arrived when you choose the clothes you wear. If you are dressed in a way that locals find it inappropriate, you will attract attention and possible conflicts.

Find out what topics you should avoid Discussions with locals are one of the best ways to learn more about the places and cultural habits of the area. But take care of delicate topics that could hurt you. Avoid discussion topics such as communism in Cuba or the royal family in Thailand, for example.

If anything happens to you, it’s important for a trusted person to know where you were last.
