Usually Experienced tourists give advice on what to do or see during the trip. But what do you know about what not to do on the trip? Usually, any tourist makes several mistakes on the trip. 

You may have to spend extra money for those mistakes or you may be wasting time or you may have missed a trip to a beautiful place. But by avoiding those mistakes, you can travel smart at a very low cost. Let's take a look at the things that should be avoided while traveling. 

Do not take food from main tourist places 

Usually, the price of food at a tourist main place is higher than any other place. When the restaurants realize that tourists may not come here a second time, they do not think much about the quality of the food. The farther you go from the tourist main place to the local restaurant, you'll find better local food at a lower cost. 

Take travel insurance 

While this may seem like an extra expense, accidents can happen at any time. You should be highly prepared for that. Travel insurance will protect you in case of loss of your hobby camera, injury to limbs, etc. 

Also, if you face these problems without insurance, it can cost much extra money. So it is wise to take out travel insurance. 

Do not exchange money at the airport 

When you travel to another country, you have to exchange money. But never do that from the airport. Usually, the exchange rate is the lowest at the airports. 

Exchange money from ATM or credit card. If that is not possible, do it from the nearest bank. You can exchange money at a very good rate from ATM or bank. 

Taxi service should take less 

Usually, the taxi service is more everywhere. However, this service can be taken if the rent can be shared with two or three people. So it is better to take public services for travel. 

Hostel accommodation 

Most people think the hostel is a very dirty, smelly environment that is chosen by relatively indigent travelers. It used to be like this but now it has changed a lot. Many hostels are much cleaner than hotels. You will also find hostels with various facilities including pool games, TV, laundry. Hostels are a good option for low-cost backpack travelers. 

Not booking hotels and flights much earlier 

The earlier a trip is booked, the more likely it is that the cost will increase. Apparently, you are being offered a discount on a flight or hotel shortly before the start of the trip but you cannot accept it because you have booked in advance. So wait for the offer. Understand the situation and book a hotel or flight at different times. 

Go to the local tourist office 

Go to the tourist office of the place you are traveling to. There you will find maps, guides or a good idea of where to stay. Their job is to help tourists. So go there and learn about the relevant information and various offers. 

Usually, most of these mistakes are made by tourists which is a waste of money and time. You must keep such mistakes in mind while traveling and avoid them properly.
