For instance, when taking the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/71237\/6-useful-tips-for-riding-the-subway-in-nyc\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NY subway<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, make sure you\u2019re aware of the secret pedestrian tunnels that take you to other subway stations. Or what about being wary of your fellow<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ny\/70448\/camping-tips-5-things-to-do-when-arriving-on-your-campsite\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">campers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while setting up your tent?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But some travel tips you find online aren\u2019t worth a thing, to be honest with you guys. You\u2019ll probably disagree with a lot of the points raised in this article, especially if you\u2019re a risk-averse type of traveler who does things by the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below, we\u2019ll describe a few travel myths you\u2019ve heard of countless times before and what you should do instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Forget About Travel Guidebooks<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might have come across some bloggers who advise ditching the travel guidebook. After all, you\u2019re on vacation\u2014make the most of what you can and just wing it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, why not just take your RV in any direction and park at the nearest clearing. It\u2019s not like anyone\u2019s watching, right?<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbiscuit.com\/illegal-park-rv-5-places\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What could possibly go wrong?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>What you should do instead is get your hands on a travel guidebook and read it cover to cover.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Reading a 50-page book might sound like a buzzkill, but doing so will open your eyes to sites and wonders that even blogs might not talk about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you looking for a historical site, or maybe you\u2019re jonesing to set up camp in the wilderness? Perhaps you\u2019re down to get drunk with the locals during the biggest festival in town? Whatever travel itch you have, a travel guide can provide the right scratcher by offering you information influencers, bloggers, and even word-of-mouth simply don\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Learn Local Phrases<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is definitely something you read about. \u201cOh, you should learn a few phrases to let the locals know you appreciate their culture,\u201d or something like that. There\u2019s no problem with learning how to say \u201chowdy,\u201d and \u201cwhat\u2019s up, homeslice?\u201d in a foreign language, but if you really want to wow them\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>You should learn how to say completely out-of-left-field phrases.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The perfect example would be something like, \u201cI\u2019m a Minnesotan who has no idea how to play the clarinet.\u201d You can be as creative and ridiculous-sounding as you want. Google Translate will probably do a good job for you at messing up your translation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust us; when the locals hear you say something so random, they\u2019ll think that you misspoke or something. That usually gets a total stranger to guffaw at your silliness, but it also opens up an avenue to chit-chat with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who knows\u2014you might even wow someone enough that they become your friend for life and pro-bono tour guide during your vacation! You don\u2019t make friends with \u201cplease\u201d and \u201cthank you,\u201d guys.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Don\u2019t Use the Airport Currency Exchanger<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is something that has been repeated so many times that we\u2019re sick of hearing it. Admittedly, some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/personal-finance\/022415\/worst-place-exchange-currency.asp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">airports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have the worst exchange rates in the entire country, but there are other places where airport money changers give you the fairest prices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What you should do is familiarize yourself with the current exchange rate.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some airports, like in Mexico City and Cairo, will actually pay you more pesos or Egyptian pounds for your US dollars. That\u2019s right\u2014they\u2019ll pay more than the market value for the sweet, sweet Benjamins you keep in your wallet. The demand for US banknotes is pretty high in these places, and airport currency exchangers will pay more than streetside money changers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this might not apply here in the United States. And there are plenty of places that are looking to pull a sneaky on you, which is why you should stay informed. Study the exchange rates before departing for the States or Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Roll Up Your Clothes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rolling up our clothes to make more room in our suitcases is something many of us are guilty of. How bad is freeing up more space by rolling up your three-piece suits and loafers? There\u2019s technically no harm to it, but <\/span><b>what you should do is pack light.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask yourself: \u201cDo I really want to bring back a ton of dirty laundry, or am I going to take home a few dozen souvenirs?\u201d The only time you actually do need to roll up your clothes is if you take home a humungous elephant statue or something.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Record Everything<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you want your videography to tell a story? If that\u2019s the case, then recording enough footage to fill a dozen 1 TB microSD cards is not the way to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What you should do is prioritize quality over quantity when shooting videos. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you\u2019re a travel \u201cguru,\u201d nobody really wants to see what your experience was like getting on a bus, staying silent during the whole ride, and checking in to your hotel room. If you\u2019re recording video for personal use, then be selective of what you record.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what if you\u2019re reading this article too late? What if you already purchased enough microSD cards to fill an entire suitcase?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, we hope you brought enough backup batteries to fill every memory card. And don\u2019t worry about shooting too much video since that isn\u2019t really a thing. After all, you can also use a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movavi.com\/learning-portal\/free-video-cutter.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video cutter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to snip out any unflattering footage of yourself if the need arises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6. Don\u2019t Dine at McDonald\u2019s<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is something that always made us pretty mad. There are countless videos by YouTubers showing off what McDonald\u2019s restaurants in different countries have to offer. Heck, someone from abroad might like to sink their teeth into a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com\/us\/en-us\/product\/mcrib.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McRib<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/20\/business\/mcdonalds-blueberry-creme-pie-return\/index.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blueberry pie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> McLobster<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (if it ever makes a comeback).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Definitely take the time out to try out local delicacies at a foreign McDonald\u2019s restaurant.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are all sorts of awesome McDonald\u2019s menu items in different parts of the United States. Sure, we might not have rice and chicken, chicken kebab burgers, or shrimp filets, but you might come across seasonal menu items that you don\u2019t have in your native country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The point is that McDonald\u2019s makes unique menu items in different countries. While their dishes may not be as tasty as those you find at local restaurants, at least they have something unique to offer. Also, you can always partake in the ole-reliable Big Mac.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>7. Connect with Strangers using [Insert App Name Here] App<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Um\u2026 Do you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">want <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to get robbed blind in the middle of a strange town?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re not judging people who have used apps that connect backpackers with fellow backpackers, but you\u2019re really putting your trust in someone who knows virtually nothing about you. If you\u2019re afraid of traveling alone, then <\/span><b>you should travel with someone you know and trust<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are countless apps that can help you figure out where to go, what to do, and where to stay for cheap. You don\u2019t have to rely on the kindness of strangers who might have other plans for you. We\u2019re willing to admit that there are happy-go-lucky stories of people who use such apps, but if you really want to stay safe, travel in groups and with people you can rely on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Final Thoughts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s pretty much there is to some of the known Travel myths out there, and how you should behave instead. There are countless more tips we can cover, but the ones mentioned above should give you a pretty good idea to take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt (this article included).<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve probably read all about helpful traveling tips you should keep in your back pocket at all times.
