Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Taste Life With Us.

  1. Embrace slow travel to allow for flexibility with weather and energy levels.

  2. Don't feel pressured to do every excursion or activity; prioritize what you actually care about to manage costs and fatigue.

  3. Don't be afraid to travel because there are signs in English, people who speak English, and Google Translate is awesome.

  4. Use a monocular with a removable rubber cap to allow it to sit flush against your glasses for better viewing.

  5. Leave time for food when visiting landmarks.

  6. Keep an eye on your belongings when navigating crowded tourist areas with salespeople.

  7. Don't wait for 'someday' to travel; travel bigger now.

  8. Renew passports well in advance to account for the 6-month validity rule required by many cruise lines and airlines.
