For safe traveling, don't carry all your valuables in one place. No one wants to deal with missing belongings while on a trip, but if you do have to, it's better to minimize loss. Put your credit cards, cash, jewelry, and whatever else you value in a variety of different locations -- some in your bag, some in your pocket, some in your wallet, and such. That way even if something gets stolen or lost, you probably won't lose everything.
 
If you enjoy alcohol, there's no better way when traveling, to get to know a new city than with a pub crawl. Visiting multiple establishments in the same night, will give an interesting cross-section of the city that you wouldn't gain any other way. Plus, you'll make some new friends.
 
If you travel by air frequently, it's a good idea to learn the rules of the TSA. Every airport has a security checkpoint that you need yo pass before you can get too your plane and not knowing the security rules can make your time at the checkpoint frustrating for you and the people around you.
 
Explore new lands and expand your horizons. Try your best to always explore new places you haven't been to before. You only get one shot at life and you don't want to spend it visiting the same city over and over. So go out into the world and explore new places and live new adventures.
 
When you arrive at your destination don't hesitate to ask for help in any way. The locals of the town should be more than willing to give you good advice on where to visit. You want to make the most out of your experience so don't be shy, remember you'll probably never see those people again anyway.
 
If you are planning on going swimming at all during your trip, bring two different swimsuits. This way, when one of them is wet, you can let it in the bathroom to dry and you will have to fresh one to put on for whatever water activities you have scheduled for the day.
 
Not all medical insurance plans cover you when you travel abroad. When making a plan to travel to international destinations it's a good idea to look into purchasing medical coverage for your trip. So, before you go you may want to research what kind of medical coverage is available to you and what the costs might be.
 
In addition to making a photocopy of your passport before you leave on an international vacation, write down your passport number and place of issue. Store this information in your money belt or wallet, separate from you passport. The more copies of this information you have, the easier it can be to recover lost or stolen passports.
 
Always check out a visitor's center near your destination. They often have a lot of pamphlets on different attractions. A lot of these will even have coupons inside to get a discount. So not only will you find things to do, but you can save money while you do them!
 
Bring your own comfort items on the plane. With airlines trying to recoup costs wherever they can while keeping ticket prices low, many have resorted to charging for many of the comfort items that used to be free. A travel pillow, blanket, music and headphones can save you precious money that is better spent on your vacation.
 
Don't stop researching prices after you have booked your flight, rental car and hotel room. You may find that the prices have dropped even further. Be sure to thoroughly read the cancellation policy on your reservations. If you can, cancel your current reservations and book at the better rates.
 
When traveling with a baby, use the hotel's coffee machine to sterilize your bottles. Wash all the different parts to the bottles using soap and hot water. Plug up the sink and place all the bottle items in it. Allow the coffee machine to fill with water and then turn it on. Wait for the water to heat up and then pour the hot water over the bottles, nipples and rings. Repeat as necessary, completely covering the items with the water. Let them soak for at least five minutes, and your baby will have a sanitary bottle to drink from.
