It’s best if you go around to take a look at each one before deciding.” A tourist might advise you that when he saw you were wondering which hotel to book on the Net. But while that guy would have to wander with his heavy luggage and pay bus fees to find a suitable hotel; you just check in, take your room and enjoy your trip. It’s because your in-advance booking. That’s only one of the helpless advice you might receive. Now let’s see what are the worst ones!

Many people consider India or Mid-east countries tough for female tourists, even Thailand or England as well. Actually, the bad things could happen everywhere, in every country, with everyone despite the gender. The best advice in this case is that you should dig into the culture and not risk doing things that you would never intend to do in your own country.
2. Say No to street food!

5. Plan everything – don’t plan anything!
You should be careful with this kind of advice. Imagine that you’ve planned a diligent itinerary where to eat, at which time but that diner closed unexpectedly, or you missed the train because you had forget to check the time. In that cases, what would you do when everything grew out of you plan? Almost safe trip are that you planned something heretofore but just to wing it.
