If there’s one thing everyone looks forward to, it’s the start of the holidays. Of course, we are talking about the emotions that weigh us down as the days come, the excitement, but also the stress of preparation, finding accommodation, arranging means of transportation or packing suitcase
Regardless of the destination, this trip will “baptize” us tourists, so automatically, many parameters appear that must be considered by every person who wants to be called a real traveler. Let’s check everything, through the list we prepared!
1. It makes a proper packing
No one can be considered a true traveler without their luggage. If you want to travel with a backpack or a suitcase, there are some things that should be an important part of it. It is a fact that packing can be a very stressful process, which often costs him clothes and things that are likely to be useful.
Of course, we always talk about usability. The right tourist, who “serves” his title properly, does not overload himself with unnecessary things. For starters, Bermuda shorts, T-shirts and sneakers are definitely some of the staples, which he won’t forget. Especially, if the program he created is rich in activities, then he must take care of the changes, but also the additions. If he is somewhere on the beach, he will not forget them men’s swimming, or if you plan to go to the mountains, it is worth adding a warm cardigan. In the end, you’ll feel carefree, equipped and ready for anything!
2. He made sure to get the chances
For any self-respecting tourist, the moments he experiences on his vacation are priceless. In fact, nothing can honestly capture the feeling that floods the soul when faced with a favorite landscape, a beautiful sunset or even a delicious local dish. However, electronic gadgets have “come” close and are the only way for a conceivable return.
A properly equipped tourist, whether relying on the capabilities of their mobile phone or looking for a more professional result, be sure to get some good shots, who will remain on his journey unchanged in his memory. However, every time, he should not use excesses, so that his overall experience is not compromised. The only thing is certain, that if this perfect balance is reached, between “living in the moment” and “returning to the moment”, he will have made an unforgettable trip!
3. Respect the locals and their customs
The words tourist and respect are two concepts, which should be understood as synonyms for every traveler. Each destination, each country, city or island offers each one a more penetrating view of the different civilization, culture, customs and traditions of each people, elements that are irrevocable and sacred, that each traveler must respect.
For every tourist, the place he visits is a temporary “shelter”, a temporary “home” that, over time, will become part of his memories. So from the moment it becomes another “pin” on his map, he must show respect for every new information he receives. From the simplest habits, to the rules established by each country, an ethical tourist will walk with love and understanding. In fact, this way he is also able to “hug” people and feel welcome by them!
4. It is equipped with “material” memories
The mobile phone and the camera may be necessary “tools” of a properly equipped tourist, but many times a tangible object can be the most nostalgic ticket to return. Magnets, jewelry, but also various local items, are a form of investment with a lot of sentimental value, which supports the local economy, but also local manufacturers or artists.
At other times, they become part of a personal collection. Especially for a regular traveler, the souvenirs they show his journeys in the best way and automatically get a special collector’s value. For others, these things, which “carry” local culture and tradition, become “gifts” for loved ones, an act that enables them to share a part of their experience!
The right tourist does not need much for his travels. He who respects himself, will be left in the end “equipped” with the most nostalgic and “living” memories!
