6 Travel Etiquette Tips That You Should Know During a Vacation in a Foreign PlaceTo avoid making faux pas ruin your travel and holidays, read travel etiquette tips that will help make your journey a lot easier. In fact, it will make you more comfortable in people's places.
Don’t Adopt Local Slang
In an effort to fit in, you might be tempted to adopt local slang. But while raising your glass and saying “Cheers” in a London pub is absolutely fine, calling everyone “me ol’ china” is not. Unless you want to be accused of mockery or treated with derision, it’s best to avoid Cockney rhyming slang or its equivalent. Note that blindly adopting slang is different from making a conscious effort to learn the language. But still, until you understand the culture and people, hold off on the more wild slang terms.
Always Keep in Mind that You Are a GuestIn Japan, it does not even matter to slurp noodles; in China, it’s acceptable and it is consider normal to burp after having your favourite meal. But elsewhere, these behaviors are considered to be acts of rude and disrespect for others who are around you.

Understanding this, when vacationing in a foreign place, and feeling that their deeds or behaviors are less civilized in your view, it is important for you to remain silent. It is not your job to judge their actions, not to mention that it is a someway of their ritual or a part of daily culture.


If you're the guest, it's up to you to fit in - not the other way round. We have no business traveling to someone else's home country and telling them how things should and shouldn't be done.
Dress and behave appropriately
It’s common knowledge that you need to cover your head, shoulders, knees and even ankles when going into many religious buildings, but in the country of Georgia, women aren’t allowed to enter if they’re wearing trousers. Pointing the soles of your bare feet at someone in Thailand is insulting, as is patting someone – even a child – on the head.

Hand gestures are also fraught with risk. The thumbs up sign that will win you fans across Europe could well get you arrested in Iran, while the “I’m fine” signal used by divers everywhere is off the table in Brazil as it has a whole other meaning. Read up before you go to make sure you’ve done your homework.
Don’t bargain too hardHead to the labyrinthine souks of Marrakesh or the markets of Guatemala and if you pay full price, you’ll be laughed out of town. Unfortunately, the enthusiastic traveler can take things a little too far in their efforts to get a good deal. Haggle too hard and you risk a desperate trader missing out on vital income that could have been spent feeding a family.

Bargain a little to play along, but never so much that your sale is going to cause harm. A few dollars might be nothing to you, but ask yourself if the same can be said for the stallholder and act accordingly.
Avoid Engaging with PoliticsWhether Brexit in Britain or Trump in the U.S., it’s never a good idea to express an opinion about politics in a country that’s not your own. When passions run high, it’s all too easy to upset your hosts, so play it safe and confine yourself to the role of interested listener. Of course, if asked your opinion it may be safe to engage in conversation, but remember to be courteous, and respectful of others' perspectives.
Keep out of the waySpoiling someone’s photograph to get your own is just not acceptable. Leave the selfie stick at home and if you’re visiting a popular site, pay attention to what’s going on around you. If you want to take a whole bunch of snapshots, step aside to let others get theirs and carry on when they’re done.

Ride a busy Metro at rush hour by all means, but move over on an escalator if you’re blocking someone’s way.

You might be on holiday but locals have to get to work, so don’t make their commute a living hell.

Respecting other people’s space is also important on planes, trains and buses. Check you’re not going to knock hot coffee over a fellow passenger before reclining your seat and stow your bags on the overhead racks rather than on the seat next to you.
