The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes.
-Waking Life
When you arrive:
● Grab your bags quickly
○ Marking as fragile means they are released first
● Use ATM’s to get local currency
● If you can, use Yelp
○ Helps avoid “tourist spots”
● Eat Locally
● Stay in hostels or couch surf if your budget is tight
○ Remember to bring a padlock and earplugs
● Make friends with locals
● Know the emergency number
● Keep your wallet in your front pocket
