Well, hey, it's Heidi and it's travel season.

I have 10 tourism etiquette tips for you.

We all need a little refresher.

Been a minute.

Stay tuned.

Okay, so you're excited.

You're planning a trip.

It's about time, right?

Okay, so since it's been a little while, let's go through my top tourism etiquette tips.

This will ensure you have a seamless, marvelous trip.

No etiquette faux pas.

It's going to be fabulous.

So coming in at number one, be our guest.

Yes, do you know really when you leave your home, you become a guest.

You're a guest out in the world.

You're a guest at a hotel or a train or an airplane or someone else's car.

Maybe, you know, when you travel, you are a guest.

Maybe you're in another country and you are a guest in that country.

So you need to behave as a guest would be very respectful and be very mindful of your surroundings.

You are a guest okay well now number two coming in

is book early yes okay you know the earlier you can

book things the better it's going to be for you

and you can book just about anything you want to do

day trip sites museums all sorts of things online do it

early this can help you skip the queue lots of places you can just pick up your tickets

and just go in and this saves all that stress all

that waiting everybody starts getting panicky and cranky and you don't want

that so book everything as early as you can okay number three be a culture vulture yes get into it

if you're traveling to another culture, another part of your country, do some research.

Find out what it's like in this culture.

Learn a little bit about their traditions, their cultures, their rituals.

You know, this is the time to really immerse yourself in another culture.

This is why we travel because we travel to grow.

This is how we keep improving ourselves and our knowledge base expands.

We widen our horizons through travel so be a culture vulture

and appreciate the differences between cultures you know it's not going

to be like it is at home you know as my dad always used to say a great traveler

and my dad would say

if you want it to be like home stay home you

know pretty good advice today all right my next etiquette travel tip is pack light.

Yes, pack light.

You really don't need as many things as you think you do.

It is so much easier if you have one bag that you're taking with you.

You know through planes, trains, and automobiles, the less you have, the easier it is and the better mood you're in

and you don't have to pull out all your very best etiquette

and try to get all these bags in

and it's it's just a lot

and you know something i learned years ago you've probably heard this well try it

because it works is pack back early pack a couple of days ahead of time

pack everything you think you need because you're a culture vulture you've researched the culture You know that in many places, maybe you're visiting places of worship,

and for ladies, you need to have your shoulders, maybe your arms covered, and a nice sweater is a great thing to have packed.

You need, I never travel without a big pashmina.

This can go on me.

It can cover my head.

It can cover my shoulders.

I never leave home without it, is my pashmina.

And so the old adage, pack everything early, go to bed that night, give it a rest, forget about it,

go back to that suitcase, take everything out, and only put half back in.

You'll thank me later because you really don't need that much stuff.

Just take the things you know that you will need to be respectful in that culture.

Maybe it's really a modest wardrobe.

Just do your research.

Okay, my next travel tip is...

blend in a little bit you know you don't want to

be in the situation where you're maybe you're in a very crowded tourist area

because you want to see the sights of course

and a lot of times unfortunately maybe there could be some pick pockets so

if you really stand out as flashing sign i'm a tourist

hit me you know easy mark no you don't want that

so notice what the locals are wearing do that research ahead of time

when you pack lightly you know have some things maybe the

big clunky tennis shoes with the white socks maybe you don't take those you know

when i travel because you need good travel shoes i i wear echoes they're not running shoes

or tennis shoes but they look a little bit better

but they're super comfortable i can walk miles in it you know we could do a whole video on packing

if you like.

Drop me a comment.

Okay, so pack light.

It's going to be your friend.

You'll thank me later.

Okay, so blend in.

You just don't want to be an easy mark for someone.

So sort of notice what the locals are doing.

Maybe you leave the big sweatshirt or t -shirt with your alma mater on it and your baseball cap turn backwards.

Maybe you don't do

that get a nice little hat you know i wear a

tilly hat worn it for years it's great great for the sun it's great for rain

that tilly hat has served me well so okay

so try to blend in it will just help avoid any unfortunate incidences okay

so don't speaking of this don't be flashy you don't want to flash that big fancy watch of yours, right?

All your expensive jewelry, not the time to wear it when you're traveling.

No, when you are flashing expensive,

extravagant things, then that could be sort of a signal to someone who might think,

geez, I wouldn't mind having that watch.

So you don't want to bring upon anything that could be bad.

And listen, don't get the wrong idea.

Traveling is very safe.

Have your wits about you.

Watch the time.

100

You know where you can be during what hours. Be sensible.

101

You can travel anywhere in the world.

102

Just be sensible, right?

103

But just don't be flashy because there's no sense.

104

It can just bring unwanted things, bad things to happen.

105

So don't be flashy save that beautiful jewelry for home okay okay

106

so how about this one curb your enthusiasm okay

107

so you're you're say you're in Athens and you're going down the street

108

and you've lost your friends and you're screaming hey where are you guys

109

and you're screaming

110

and you're waving your hands hey over here maybe you should do a little research about the culture

111

and screaming waving your arms madly going down the street might not be appropriate for that culture, and it's not there in Greece.

112

So be mindful.

113

Again, you've already done your research, you're a culture vulture, so watch your enthusiasm a little bit.

114

Don't be that, you know, ugly, loud tourist.

115

You know, just watch your volume.

116

Be respectful, right?

117

That's what etiquette boils down to, being respectful and kind, right?

118

Okay.

119

All right, you've got this.

120

Okay, so our next travel tip is pictures.

121

May I take your picture, please?

122

Yes, never take a picture of anyone, any place without asking permission.

123

In many cultures, it's highly offensive

124

and can be really almost like you're taking a part of someone's soul by taking a picture of them.

125

So you really, really, really need to ask permission first.

126

And many times people will say, oh, yes, that would be fine.

127

And be aware that there are many different areas in the world, monuments, all kinds of different things,

128

especially when you're in museums where it is photo free, no photos allowed.

129

Or maybe it's, you know, just photos are okay, but turn your flash off.

130

Be aware of that when you're taking pictures, because if you're like me, you take thousands of pictures just make sure you're doing it with permission

131

and in the appropriate manner okay because you count on those pictures

132

when you get home it's you know i mean it really

133

relive the trip i know i know i love it okay

134

so another tip here is bonjour learn a few words of the language

135

if you're traveling someplace where there is a different language, learn how to say hello,

136

goodbye, please, and thank you.

137

even maybe how much does this cost?

138

Learn a few phrases.

139

It's easy to do that.

140

You can get it online and find out how to do that.

141

If you have any trouble, you want to know things like that, ask me, drop me a comment.

142

I'll help you with this because it's so nice.

143

People appreciate it in any culture,

144

in any language, you are making an attempt to converse in their language because they're the host.

145

You're in the host country, right?

146

Maybe you're not fluent in that language, but you can make an effort because around the world, so many people do speak English or at least a little English.

147

So, so that helps the, the native English speakers.

148

Okay.

149

So my final tip for you as when you're getting back out there

150

and traveling is to follow the rules you know there are

151

rules stay on this path don't feed the animals don't get too close to the edge

152

or please no pictures here or whatever there the rules are there for a reason

153

and there are very good reasons for them you just don't

154

have privy to the reasons you know it could be a

155

real safety issue it could be these are sacred sites sacred grounds

156

and you're not you're not to walk on them you know you could be someplace where the animals are

157

and you could be disrupting nests or or the ecosystem you just don't know

158

so whatever the rules are find out what the rules are and follow them okay

159

all right oh i wish you a wonderful trip

160

and i know you just need we all need a little refresher on you know, tourism etiquette tips.

161

So here's a few for you today.

162

Please drop me a comment.

163

Let me know how it goes.

164

Love it.

165

If you'd like and subscribe to my channel, please, I really would love that.

166

Thank you in advance.

167

So best of luck, safe travels, Godspeed, and thank you so much.

168

169

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
