Travel light
This adage is easier said than done. Nevertheless, one must try to travel light on a long vacation. Carry a weeks worth of pairs of clothes and keep washing and drying them on your long vacation. Carry the basics and keep buying what you need on the way. Borrow from fellow travellers. Divide the essential items between yourself and your fellow mates to lighten the load and then borrow from each other.
Eat Light
Its important to eat light on your vacation, so that you don’t develop digestive issues. Such stomach issues can curtail your energy to travel. Drink water from hygienic sources and avoid unhygienic eating joints.
Choose your eating joint wisely
Look for places which have many customers instead of only a few customers. Eating joints that have a good number of customers during meal times, are bound to finish up the food and then prepare fresh meals for the next supper. This way you can ensure that you are eating only freshly cooked meals.
Fried food is good
When in doubt about food hygiene, you can never go wrong with freshly fried food. This is because the act of frying will kill any germs that might thrive in an unhygienic restaurant kitchen. Similarly freshly made tea is a hygienic option as it is boiled and most germs get killed at boiling temperatures.
Dress as a Roman in Rome
Stay cognizant of the local traditions and sensibilities of your travel destination. If you are travelling to place where people dress conservatively, then try to dress conservatively yourself. Keep in line with the local traditions and you will be safe.
