When choosing to go abroad for your holiday, you may want to take time to get to know the locals. Many countries are very happy to welcome visitors and the local people are often all too pleased to help you with whatever you need. When staying in another country you need to respect their rules and regulations and show respect to the people living there.

If you can mix with some of the local people you will have more of a chance to experience what life is actually like living there, rather than only seeing it from a tourist’s point of view. The local people will often be able to advise you better on where is great to eat and drink and places of interest to visit and indeed avoid.

It is vital to stay safe when on holiday and therefore you should never go off with someone of a group of people you do not know on your own and especially without telling someone where you are going and contacting them at regular intervals.
