Uncornered Market, one of the nicest travel blogs out there, came up with a very interesting list, beyond the common ” The best X coolest places” or “Y things to remember while traveling” post found in travel blogs:
- Seek First to Adapt, Then to Complain (a.k.a., Adaptability)
- Plan With Multiple Outcomes in Mind (a.k.a, Planning)
- Work a way in. Leave a way out. (a.k.a., Problem Solving)
- Find the Common Ground (a.k.a., Negotiation and Compromise)
- Tune In, Filter Often (a.k.a., Observation and Perception)
- Have Less, Do More (a.k.a., Resourcefulness)
- Find a Common Language, Create One if You Must (a.k.a., Communication)
I’m not a veteran traveler like Audrey and Daniel (yet…), but in the end all these seven tips can be condensed to just one: a bit of common-sense to always remember being away from home/culture/language/routines or, at least, away from the comfort zone. A must read!!
