Reddit travelers, what are some of your greatest travel tips?

1. Have plenty of money but don't appear rich

2. For photo equipment or all kind of expensive stuff: put some duct tape on it. If it looks broken, nobody wants to steal it.

3. I recommend shopping in Supermarkets when traveling internationally. You get to understand what the locals buy for their daily groceries, get to discover new foodstuff, and get much cheaper souvenirs to bring home.

4. Be flexible. Not everything Will go according to Plan. That's when the best stories begin.

5. If you're going international, BRING AN OUTLET CONVERTER

6. Search Reddit for the country (or countries) you're planning to visit, and read up! Before our trip to Iceland, posts to r/VisitingIceland not only got me excited about my trip, but had me prepared due to other traveler's experiences and recommendations.

7. Learn the most basic greetings and always attempt to speak the language a little. Even if you totally suck. Locals will appreciate the effort and respect that you out forth.

8. When you arrive to a country with a 6+ hour time difference, stay up until about 11pm their time. You'll very quickly adjust to their time zone and jet lag won't hinder your first couple of days of travel.

9. Always bring a backup charger for your phone, a map, protein bars, and Dora.

10. Be early. Wherever it might be, show up early.

11. For international travel, I'd say call your credit card/bank ahead of time to let them know what country you'll be staying in. Make copies of your passport, and know where the embassy is located. Make sure you know the rules, customs and laws of the country you're visiting. And never put your money in one place, split it up and put it in your front pockets.
