There is nothing worse
than an annoying tourist ruining your lovely vacation. To avoid being one of
those typical unwelcome tourists, follow these simple steps…
·
Use your inside voice
You know those complaints
from foreigners about how loud tourists are? Well it’s for good reason, so take
your semi-screaming voices down to a minimum. It’s all about volume control.
·
Leave the selfie stick at home (or in the bin)
Here are three reasons
why: 1.) If you just ask nicely, a kind stranger will gladly take your photo.
2.) It is the most unsightly contraption. 3.) It is a legitimate danger to the
people around you.
·
The same rule applies for your iPad
A bigger screen does
not mean a better photo. Plus, by leaving the tablet at home you can travel
without having to carry around the massive device. Cue – the fanny pack.
·
Don’t comment on how cheap everything is
No matter how
affordable everything may seem to you, it is kind of insulting to the people
who live there. They are still working hard to make a living.
·
Or how expensive
You chose to travel to
that country, get over it.
·
Dress appropriately
No, you shouldn’t go
out and buy the natives traditional outfit, but be respectful. Maybe an ancient
temple isn’t the best place to wear a crop top and high heels.
·
Be aware of your surroundings
In general, just
behave according. Don’t hog a busy sidewalk for 20 minutes just to take a
picture. Don’t complain about people’s accents or how the coffee tastes.
Don’t be an irritating
tourist, make your travels and the people’s around you a pleasant one.
Are you traveling to Cape Town? If so, book a shuttle service with Airport Shuttle and take the hassle out of getting to and from Cape Town International Airport.
