The main fears of novice tourists and how to overcome them

The first independent trip without the help of experienced friends and travel agencies always causes a lot of fears. Now you will have to personally plan every detail of your vacation and rely only on yourself. Inexperienced tourists can be seen from afar: they are trembling because of every little thing and are afraid of everything.

One of the most common fears of most novice travelers is ignorance of the English language. It is very inconvenient when even such simple things as ordering food or specifying the route cause a lot of problems. To begin with, you should understand that only 5% of humanity speaks English, and another 15% study it. So do not rely too much on the knowledge of the language. First of all, you need to approach strangers with a smile and respect. And modern electronic translators allow you to easily understand each other well. The most necessary phrases can be written in a notebook. It is better to know more about the place where you plan to travel in advance: find the bus schedule on the web, prepare a list of attractions, download a map.

Another common phobia among tourists is to overpay or not calculate the travel budget. After all, when you buy a ready-made tour, you immediately know how much it will cost. Travel is not always a big expense. Whatever level of comfort you need – most of the budget is tickets and room reservations, the cost of which can be calculated while sitting at home. Various forums and websites have collected a large number of detailed stories with the construction of a budget and current prices for almost any corner of the planet. And for unforeseen expenses, it is better to take a plus to the planned 20-30% on top.

Many people are afraid to even try to organize a trip on their own, considering that it is too difficult to book accommodation, plan a vacation or look for transport. Recreation according to a non-prepared template is much more interesting and exciting. The Internet is always available to help. Just do not try to cover all possible attractions, trips, etc. - everything is gradual. To travel was not so scary, you can connect a friend, because the company is much more fun. To avoid unnecessary problems – you need to prepare for the trip in advance.
