Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Taste Life With Us.

  1. Always check your receipt before you sign your credit card and add a tip.

  2. Know the words for tip in the local language.

  3. Remove the automatic tip and do individual tipping in cash to ensure it goes to specific service staff.

  4. If you don't know why you're drawn to water, find out by experiencing it.

  5. Watch cruise channels and ship tours to vicariously experience cruising and plan for the next one.

  6. Bring your own medication if you have health issues, as prices can be high.

  7. Compare prices across countries for groceries to find the best value.

  8. Focus on creating memories rather than gifts for birthdays as a nomad.
