Do’s
It is important to keep the following travel tips in mind, this will allow you to fully engage in your journey.
Research
Spend the months prior to your trip/move researching your intended destination.
Take a deep look into the culture of your destination, exploring the foods, clothing, and norms. Many people have trouble adjusting to the lifestyle of their destination.
Be sure to prepare yourself for a possible uncomfortable start.
Extensive research will allow you to become more well-rounded and versed in the new culture allowing you to focus and enjoy your new adventure.
Plan yet Leave Room for Spur-Of-The-Moment Adventures
Having a set plan of what you would like to do is always helpful; however, too much planning can hinder spontaneity.
Make a list of things to do and see but leave some free time to allow any spur of the moment ventures!
Have an Open Mind
Traveling to a new place is exciting, but we often stick to our cultures and norms, preventing us from fully immersing ourselves in new cultures, languages and cuisine.
This is why it is necessary to have an open mind. Being open will allow you to learn and implement new ideas and conventions into your everyday life, allowing you to grasp the full experience of your trip and become immersed in this new experience.
Keep a Translator App Handy
As a translation company we know language barriers can be one of the biggest setbacks of traveling. Keeping a translation app handy, such as Google Translate, will make your transition easier.
Don’ts
Traveling somewhere new can often provoke anxiety and be scary. However, by following these few simple travel tips, you can be more prepared in embracing your new adventure.
Don’t Compare
It is easy to point out the differences between your old home to your new home.
This is a common fault that creates closed-mindedness, which will not allow you to fully engage in new opportunities and cultural experiences.
To avoid this, keep an open mind, you are somewhere new and exciting, treat it as such!
Wipe your memory clean of where you have come from and fully immerse yourself in this new experience.
Don’t Close Yourself Off
A common mistake made when traveling, is going with close friends/family.
This often prevents us from meeting new people. However, meeting new people creates new connections and is an important part of making the most of your trip.
To avoid this, as hard as it may be, introduce yourself to new people and engage in conversation any chance you get.
This may be uncomfortable at first, but it is a great way to make friends and learn about the new place you are in from a local.
Don’t Expect to Immediately Fit Right In
When traveling, we all wish that we could just blend in, however, this is hardly the case.
You are in a new city, with different people, customs, and possibly languages; it may be a difficult transition, yet totally possible if you make the effort!
What to Do
The best thing is to relax! Remember, this is normal and natural; it may take a while but eventually you will adapt to the new location you have chosen to visit or live in. It just takes time. Enjoy every moment, and don’t let anxieties hold you back.
As you embark on your travel or relocation journey, remember that BeTranslated is a dedicated partner for all your translation needs.
