Are You That Type Of Tourist?

A holiday is all about learning about new cultures and trying new things, it's definitely not about being the annoying tourist everyone hates.

Here's how to avoid being that annoying tourist...

PACK THE RIGHT CLOTHING

When you are packing your bag, make sure you know  about any traditional clothing rules, especially in countries where religion and gender customs are extremely important. Visiting a church in Europe? Don't wear a strapless mini dress! A temple in Asia? Opt for shoes that can be easily taken off.

LEARN IMPORTANT PHRASES IN THE NATIVE LANGUAGE

Learning a bit of the native language is a good way to fit in, but make sure you actually use them! Memorize the important words and phrases, like "thank you".

PLAN HOW TO GET AROUND BEFORE YOU LEAVE

No, we don't mean Uber. You have to be aware of your surroundings, like where your hotel is compared to the rest of the city. So be sure to have Google Maps ready, you can even use it offline - here's how!

TRY TO BLEND IN

The best way to avoid looking like an annoying tourist is to do what the locals do. Study the country's ways and mannerisms. If everyone eats fried lambs brains and drinks beer for supper, then you'd better toughen up!

This Riding Suitcase Is Fun & gets you to your destination!

Oh no! Your alarm didn't go off (well, it did but you pressed snooze), there was a ridiculous amount of traffic and the line for a ticket was crazy. Now you have to run to the other side of the airport with all your luggage. If only there was a quicker, simpler way...

 Never fear - there is a way! It is called Modobag, and it is the first motorized, rideable suitcase in the world!

You can back the project on Indiegogo, where it’s already raised about 616% of its $50,000 goal, and if you decide to preorder one (for $995), the company says you'll be racing around on your suitcase in January 2017!

The bag, which reaches speeds up to 13km/h, weighs a not-insignificant 8.6kg, which you could see as a negative or, if you’re a positive person, a reminder to stop over-packing.

 It's not recommended that you ride the Modobag all the way to the airport - contact Airport Shuttle in Cape Town or Durban and book your shuttle for a cheap, comfy ride
