Learn some of the language.
No one expects you to learn the local languages, but knowing
just a few small words can be a huge help. Write down the basics like “yes,” “no,” “please,” and
“thank you.” Most travel books have a language section or you can purchase a small language
phrasebook.
Value versus price.
Traveling on a budget isn't always about doing things as cheaply as pos-
sible. It's also about getting the maximum amount of value for your money. Sometimes spend-
ing a little extra will result in a large jump in value, so take that into consideration. For ex-
ample, paying a few extra dollars on a hostel located in an amazing location might be worth
it because your overall enjoyment will be much higher than staying at the cheap hostel on the
edge of town.
Take it all in.
Cherish the moment and stop thinking about what to do or see next. Soak in
the atmosphere and realize how fortunate you are to have such a great experience. Appreciate
this time while it lasts.
