The first rule - it is only necessary to travel light.
That means light? First - with a light heart. Secondly, not burdened with things and bad premonitions. If possible, it is better to know where and "how long" you sent, but does not necessarily say, even more fun. It is important at least to think of this in General terms. All the necessary things you can buy on the spot, exactly where they will actually be necessary. Do not forget that people live almost everywhere, and two people can always communicate despite language and cultural barriers, if they wish. Once we helped the French traveler to get to Sheremetyevo - time, and out of the woods. In Russian, in addition to the two strong favourite expressions, never knew. Explained mainly by gestures, drawings and exclamations. Of the things (except the clothes on him) he had only documents, plane tickets, money, notebook, a sincere smile and a towel. By the way, this is a mandatory list of things to travel. Without anything else you can do (there is an opinion that no towels no normal traveler in General the road is not sent is the most essential travel thing). Can bring something else: "sofa, suitcase, bag, picture, basket, cardboard and a little dog", but the smaller things - the smiling of fortune and more fun from everything happening.
The second rule is not to be a tourist.
The tourist is something gregarious, superficial, with money for a while. So you will perceive members of the local community, and be treated accordingly. In General, to be a tourist - comfortable, safe, formally and not bad, but these places you will not see. You only see what you show. Real life is not acquainted. You will also become a cash cow of local importance for fans to earn. How not to be a tourist? Don't go in flocks. Do not carry your camera or camcorder on the neck. Communicate with the local population, as if just arrived, had Breakfast already and will probably remain here to live. Learn local customs and history, and then attractions. Start Dating - chat. Learn how to actually live and breathe as the people here. Find yourself a guide for the volunteer. And finally, most importantly, be natural and don't be afraid.
The third rule is not to be carried out.
As travelers - people casual and travel, someone tries to cheat, to steal, to tear and to profit. This does not only spoil the mood, but is reversed relative to the total population and the host country. Keep on mind only the amount of money, with which you can leave with no regrets. Documents and valuables it is desirable to Deposit. Be careful. If you offer something means, first of all, it's not you, and they. Do not apply alms - never, especially in India. If you are still lit and heated - smile agility traders and do not feel sorry about the money, sometimes the experience is much more useful. Remember the phone number of your Embassy in this country by heart. Sometimes you will need to pretend to be someone close, especially with local authorities. It is important that you immediately said, who are you and what are you - "Russo-touristic-obliko-morale! To let you go and pull the case on the brakes for minor offences it will be easier if they will accept strange, but, in General, a good man. "Why can't I? And we now everywhere you can, we did not know that you have anywhere you can". And while they think to do with you - sing something compassionate and folk, preferably chorus - as a variant of the "Black Raven" or "the Song of the boatmen on the campsite, on the banks of the Volga river".
The fourth rule - change, share and update.
In the culture of all peoples have a tradition to exchange gifts. This is a very good tradition. It is rooted in those ancient times, when all people spoke the same language, lived happily ever after, without wars. For this purpose it exists - it helps to find a common language and set of peaceful and friendly relations. You should always be something that you can give or keep as a gift, a sign. Moreover, this knot on the memory of you. The country and people will become closer to you forever, and will give a very good impression.
The fifth rule is to grab a chunk for themselves.
Yes, it is to take and not to buy in a souvenir shop. It can be anything, but do not fall under local article of the criminal code. For example, the supply in a glass of beer at a favorite bar. But best of all - the gift, who have not accidental. This subject can become your talisman and amulet traveler rolled into one.
Rule six - to bring, to bring and leave.
Bring something small, but significant. The subject you have chosen, he overcame with you all distances and remain where you are so anxious. To your destination. There is a deep mental sense or just a good tradition - to solve to you. For example, one of my friends every time when going to the Atlantic ocean, taking with him a few pebbles from the shore of the Moscow river, and when I arrived, the first thing rushes to the ocean and throws them into the water. He says that at this point, "everything falls into place".
Rule seven - back is also a journey.
Go like go traveling again. Light, with a light heart and respecting basic rules, which is only seven. So less likely to get stuck between here and there, and more likely to remain in the present, which is always good though, because we are.
The world is huge, diverse and incredibly beautiful - I wish you to see him in the present.
