This is something I would have thougt to have been standardized long ago.

This is my backpack on the first day of my trip. By day three I just stuff everything in random order and with excessive force.

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.

Denmark is among the happiest countries in the world and so are their sockets.

This also comes in handy if you're travelling by air. Always have one of these arrangements in your carry-on. That way - if your luggage is lost - at least you have *something* clean with you.

I don‘t really understand how something like gender pay gap is relevant for tourists? they‘re not getting paid there.

This is great. But I'd say that several items on the week or two ahead list should be done at least a month ahead.

In the UK (since 1983) as a rule, three different factors will help to determine your nationality as an individual: The country where you were born. The nationality of your parents (or ancestors in some cases). Your date of birth (because of rule changes). https://www.theukrules.co.uk/rules/legal/citizenship/british-nationality/index.html

Doesn't stop kids and drunk people in the UK!

Please post this on the back page of inflight magazines. The people who need it the most are not the ones who ever see these infographics. Unbelievable how we need an infographic on what is basically common courtesy.

You'll usually get an offer of a cup of tea in the UK.

Hmm, okay that's confusing. In Australia a 1 cup measurement is 250ml, so now I have to make sure to check if a recipe that uses 1 cup measurements is talking about US cup or Aus cup.

For those asking how the wedge stays up- think of it like 3D. It’s obviously still supported by 2 other sides.

Go Canada! 🥳🥳

Why the fück is Chinese censored wtf ?!?!? (Edit: they uncensored it )

not sure if this is still relevant as it‘s from before the plague™️

Correction for the Asian tip thingy: No tip if in Japan and China. Others will gladly take some extra cash. (Edit: Indonesia is no tip as well. As for Korea, I have lived there for a while before moving and I always gave tips but some people say otherwise)

*hold your nostrils closed with your fingers and swallow

all countries where it's forbidden to "be gay" aren't on the list...

Great, now I itch all over

This reads like something a magazine editor threw together at the last minute to fill a page or segue to some sponsored links. Silk sheets? Really?

You cannot drive the Appalachian Trail.

+886 for Taiwan

We drink tap water in South Africa - we even drink it right out of the hose while watering the garden!

Swimming with your bike's the hardest bit.

"avoid coffee because caffeine" - "drink green tea but decaffeinated" just drink decaffeinated coffee if you like coffee?! also, caffeine being dehydrating has been debunked. just drink enough water, no matter the amount of coffee.

Airports are highly over priced for everything. Go to a local shop in town, instead.

LOL cars WILL stop if they see you! We're not going to tranform you in a human pancake on purpose! Just look both ways before crossing and don't jump suddenly into a busy road and you're safe ahahahaha

east and south european people get refused more often than russians, i.e. those from a literal enemy state of western countries? ok. I'm czech, I's gladly pass on going to the US but this offends me.

It's amazing how many countries get it wrong and drive on the right.

Lots of backpacking ideas

Actually for Australia it depends on where you travel, for example it is best to visit the Northern Territory during May to Oct as that is the dry season.

High decree of caution for France ? I know we have a reputation of being rude, but come on...

That's either a very small suit or a very large suitcase lol

yeah they need to split usa into two countries: america and dumbfuckistan.

Flightradar24 lets you see where your plane is and flightview lets you track it back to its last flight.

This is an ad.

The food recommendation is a bit sad. Imagine going to a place with such a rich and sophisticated cuisine and eating mostly sandwiches? Nothing against croque monsieur, I could have it every day... but if I had limited time in Paris/France in general, I'd want to try out more fancy dishes.

Are you really stir dumb, though?

This map is so 2016

Not a country

I get nervous rolling clothes. I'm afraid airport security will think I'm trying to conceal something.

If you need to be told why water is important...hiking may not be for you.

In some countries, you're MUCH better off getting bottled water. Montezuma's Revenge is real and will wreck your vacation.

I like the rug idea.

Register with the embassy.

Reconsider travel to Mexico if you're going to be a drunken idiot flashing wealth and seeking drugs and prostitutes. Those are the tourists who get in trouble.

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.

Travelling IS good for us... just sadly getting less good for the planet as the methods of getting to most countries aren't green. Sad but true.

3% of British people have tried to disguise their dog as a baby! 😂

Quoting data from 2012 makes me question the usefulness of this item

Cars win!

What's the country that can go anywhere they please?

This has been on here 4 times so far.

DO NOT buy the Visitor's Oyster card, it costs more and is pointless. Use contactless cards, apple pay or buy a normal oyster card from a tube station when you get to London.

You too can be a human piñata!

I think some of this information may be outdated. For example, the map shows you need to get a visa on arrival to enter Indonesia, but that hasn't been true for a few years now.

I didn't pack too much but I still think I packed too much. But next time I'll be sure to pack more underwear. I just didn't need to bring as much activities.

Jan Mayen?

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.

North Korea only at "reinforced alertness" level.... what?
