The Dos and Don'ts of Travelling in Europe Europe is a great place to explore! Here are a few dos and don’ts which I have learnt during my travels around Europe. I hope you find them helpful.

DO make sure you save up enough money beforehand. The last thing you want to happen is your trip to be cut short because you’ve run out of money! You need to prepare financially for your trip before you set off . Some people may go with the intention to earn money whilst they’re travelling but you have to be realistic. 

DO try to find the best mode of transport. This depends on your own preference. You need to look around, spend time researching the best modes of transport. Remember that aside from public transport, such as buses, trains, planes, ferries etc., you can also find transport using websites such as Blablacar where you can share car journeys with other people who are driving to the same place. I have learnt from experience that the more uncomfortable the journey is, the cheaper it is, for example, a seven hour bus ride through the night costs a fraction of the price of a half an hour flight. So it’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth it! 

DO spend time choosing your accommodation. Although travelling needs to have a sense of spontaneity in order to keep it exciting, taking time to make sure that you’ve chosen the best place to stay really does pay off . Believe me, there are so many different options in Europe from campsites to hotels, hostels, B&Bs… even pitching up a tent wherever you find a nice spot, you have to consider every option. Also, it’s very helpful to look at the reviews of your accommodation choices, as it will give you an insight into the type of place it is.

DO make the most of the culture. Embrace the differences of your surroundings and try to get in touch with the local traditions, as no one knows when you’ll be back again… if ever! So make the most of it. 

DO make sure that you’ll remember the experience forever! Take pictures and videos, buy postcards and souvenirs, write a journal… whatever it takes. At the time it will seem like you’ll never forget it so it can be tempting to put it off , but you’ll be surprised at how easily your memories can blur into one. 

DO meet new people and make travel buddies along the way. While travelling, it’s easy to meet other like-minded travellers too. It can be great fun to make friends and travel together as often they’ll be from different countries and it’ll be a great opportunity to find out about even more cultures and also to tell them about your own. Who knows, you may even make friends for life! When it comes to travelling, the more the merrier!

DON’T forget to keep in touch with family and friends from home. Remember to let them know that you’re OK, send them a postcard, call them, or even just send a quick text! Although you may be having the time of your life and living the carefree dream you’ve always wanted, don’t forget to put the mind of those at home at rest by letting them know how you are.

DON’T be careless. We all like to have fun but you should always keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings. Being in a foreign country which you’re not used to can be dangerous and scary at the best of times, so make sure that you’re always in control and that you look after yourself!
