A nightmare in short is to lose your wallet while travelling which results in a panic like nothing else.

Another one which can be kept in your daypack which has all your money, bank cards and documents.

Leaving the washroom clean will definitely win you blessings from the people who are sharing the room or using the washroom after you. It’s always important to keep things clean and it starts with the toilet. While travelling, use the washroom, the same way you would want others to use the one at your house.  

Smoking in public

Smoking in public is pretty much banned in 80% of the tourist places around the world. So to avoid getting an unwanted fine and wasting money which can buy you a better meal, keep the vices to your room or in places where you’re allowed to smoke.  

Forgetting things at home

It’s very common that we end up packing at the very last minute. This kind of packing results in missing out on things which are needed on the trip. Like forgetting your power bank or your camera charger. These small things become a big issue when you’re on the road and have no way of getting a replacement.

Not getting a room

Travel has changed post Covid-19 forever with everything now going online. It’s always better to book a room in advance so you don’t have to reach a destination and end up being stranded without a bed for the night. 

Not getting enough souvenirs 

After you return home from a holiday, you always tend to catch up with family and friends. It’s only when you return back from the trip, that you remember souvenirs which could have been purchased for your loved ones while on the road. The best way to avoid being on this guilt trip is by having a checklist for the people who you need to get things back for.
