    I fell for the shoe shiner scheme in Istanbul. Yet somehow, I don’t mind - it wasn’t too expensive and it’s always a great starting talking point when discussing tourist experiences.

    Traveling means something slightly different for everyone. For some, exploring foreign territory is an extremely fulfilling experience. It's an opportunity to visit another country, get acquainted and embrace a new culture, or simply take a much-needed break from reality and the never-ending responsibilities of everyday life. For others, however, leaving their comfort zone is filled with hesitation, stress, and fear of finding themselves in novel surroundings where they can get lost, be scammed, or even worse.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    People aren’t born savvy travelers but rather build their skills throughout their years of on-the-road experience. But what if you haven’t had the chance to explore the world that much? It’s reasonable to feel overwhelmed and unsure of your abilities, but the digital world that we have at our fingertips offers an endless source of golden nuggets to arm us with knowledge before our next trip. Much like the charts and infographics you see in this list, gathering information gives us confidence and makes planning our vacation that much easier.

    Megan Starr, who is originally from Virginia, US, agrees with this line of thinking. She is one of the founders of a travel blog called Megan & Aram that’s all about visiting Scandinavia, the Eastern bloc, and beyond. Living abroad for 12 years now, Megan is an avid traveler that has hit up many fascinating places on the globe and has collected quite the arsenal of handy little tricks to share with others.

    "To be honest, I think charts and infographics about traveling are a fantastic resource for those who struggle with the layout of articles and blogs online," she told Bored Panda. "Human beings don't take the time to digest long-form info these days and many people don't have the time or attention span, so I think they are great."

    Megan pointed out that they are also a helpful tool for adventurers who set out to explore new places. "I think these are great for people to print and use on the road," she said, adding that travelers can print out checklists, allergy charts, and other information they find useful.

    Moreover, the travel blogger agreed that some people can feel confused with the myriads of information about different travel destinations they find online or in real life. Coming across clever visual charts that present handy advice in a clear and efficient manner can instantly teach people how to travel smarter.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Guidebooks are heavy to lug around and a simple checklist may be all one needs," she explained. "It is easy to carry and fold up in your purse or wallet and can be an incredibly useful resource! I also think having a list of important information (ingredient names in the local language, as an example) can help you take advantage of things despite the language barrier." Megan revealed she has previously used the kind of resources to detail that she has an allergy to a certain food herself, and assured us that it worked very well.

    When asked about other ways people can become more travel-savvy, Megan told us she personally thinks that the smartest people are the ones who are flexible. "You can read about scams and money-saving tips all day, but I think it is hard to truly get to know a place if you don't have a Plan B and expect interruptions."

    "When you allow for that, you then can assess what you did wrong (or right!) for future trips and you allow yourself to understand the world a bit better," Megan continued. "As a travel blogger, I welcome 'interruptions' on the road as it helps me explain to my readers what 'could' happen, and here is how to do what I didn't do!"

    For example, Megan previously shared with us a few insights about tourist traps and how to make sure our care-free vacationing selves wouldn’t be taken advantage of abroad. "You will always find a lot of scams around popular tourist attractions (not necessarily tourist traps)," Megan said, adding that The Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and Milan Cathedral were a few where she was bombarded with what felt like scams. "I also had a man try to pickpocket me around the metro at the Eiffel Tower — so it is not only scams to beware of, but these types of things too!"

    I’m proud that 🇹🇩 is rated 1st, but for all the countries that got an A, I don’t understand the point system that makes one A a higher “score” than another country A. An A is an A. We do have issues with crimes against individuals, of course. Pride Week is a massive celebration and huge parade. I’m not sure what issues are, but unfortunately police officers who are gay are restricted from being a part of the parade in uniform. Whatever the problems are, I would be so happy if they were resolved and they could be in the parade again. I do realize I may be down voted for that.

We are pretty accepting of all people regardless of who they are - our laws protect all people especially LQBTQ+ community and our politicians regularly get very involved in the pride parade including our prime ministers dressing in drag!

Because of that, hateful people feel empowered to harass and be violent towards us. Hopefully, with this year's election, we'll get rid of this terrible man and Brazil will once again step towards equality!

    Traveling is one of the most enriching experiences we can have on this planet. And remember, it only becomes a headache if you let it. If you feel overwhelmed by the idea of stepping away from familiar routines and fear of embracing the unknown, Megan had a few pieces of advice to share with you.

    "Plan ahead, be flexible, and mix a few of your favorite things in the mix with local cultural sites, etc. If you're a wine lover, find some local wine bars to enjoy in the evening. If you love cycling, rent a bike and see the city that way. You'll be in your comfort zone but still see a new place," she concluded.

    I've heard of too many pets dying on planes. I do not trust how animal crates are handled. Would be surprised if they are just tossed about. On long haul flights, your animal will likely not be fed or given any water. They are scared and will not be comforted. Any medical crisis your pet might endure will not be tended to. There is a chance they will get lost like luggage. Best to leave with someone who can take care of them.

    don‘t use ATM in japan on weekends and holidays. they charge an extra fee. (no it does not make sense and it is annoying). also depending on fees your bank takes for getting money from an ATM in a foreign country, it might be better to exchange some money in your home country.

    Set up a travellers account beforehand, so you have the local currency ready, at hand, and won't have to worry so much about the math. If you're dyscalculia this may be super vital in making it easier to keep track of spending and avoiding awkward phone calls to the bank.

    This is also not accurate. There's substantially more danger to your safety in some of these countries than in others marked green. It also depends on your identity. If you "look rich" you are safer in some countries than others. It's fairly clear if you look at this map that the countries that france colonised (it's a french map) are marked as dangerous. I wonder why that is, maybe because the people there still resent you as a colonist? I mean look at it. All the muslim countries except saudi, and french indo-china, plus francophone africa. How about just apologise for colonialism and decommission the CAF currency exploitation?
