What you should know when you travel
1. 36
Research it online and discuss it with your fellow travelers. Websites are a great place to see travel photos, journals and videos posted by real people sharing their experiences. Each trip offers you connected experiences from real people so that you can get a better picture of the place you want to go. 2. Change your money a t home.
Some people say that carrying a large amount of cash makes you vulnerable（易受攻击的）to pickpockets. I agree. They say it’s better to rely on your ATM and credit cards. 37 In a lot of places, ATM machines are hard to come by and may not accept all ATM cards. In some resorts and hotels, credit cards are not accepted, either. The exchange rate may also be far worse, depending on the location. Do your research before departure and prepare accordingly. 3. 38
Last-minute deals are indeed becoming more and more important nowadays. You’d better watch out for sales and promotions to save on air fares and hotel bookings. You may save a lot of money by booking in the last minute. 4. Consider travel insurance.
While you may not want to pay premium（保险费）rates for something that might not happen, you should have some protection in case you could not travel during the time your tickets are booked for. The average one-week vacation will cost you in insurance needs about $75 dollars. 39 5. Pack light.
40 No one has ever said to themselves while on vacation, “I’m glad I practically packed my entire closet.” Leave space for shopping and buying souvenirs. Moreover, traveling with lots of luggage limits your movement and causes discomfort. A. Choose your location.
