2. Never travel with heavy baggage
The most important no-no while traveling is heavy baggage. Remember, it is you who is traveling and not your luggage. Take only what is necessary and travel light. Cut out as much weight as possible, this makes traveling easier for you and also saves on space.

3. Never break laws
Breaking rules in a foreign land can land you in all sorts of trouble. Certain countries resort to strict punishments. Make sure you comply with all the rules of the place you are holidaying in. One wrong move and your bed from the hotel room can shift to the cell. Respect them for welcoming you.

4. Never lose identification proof
Identification while traveling is the most important. Losing your originals can cause trouble. Make sure you have a set of copies of the original identification proofs (passport, driver’s license, etc).

5. Never trust strangers with food or packages
It is a yes that everyone trusts strangers for directions, suggestions while traveling, but keep your trust to just that. Avoid accepting food and packages from strangers. An act of kindness and the next thing is you are their victim. Personal safety is of prime importance.

6. Never travel hung-over or drunk
No alcohol during a vacation just takes the fun out of a vacation. Do visit pubs and bars; do grab a drink or two. Remember to watch on the alcohol intake as it just might ruin your trip. Traveling hung-over or drunk is a strict no.

7. Never work during your vacation
It is called ‘vacation’ for a reason. Vacation is an excuse to get out of the busy life and to relax, rejuvenate. Never work during your vacation. Spend time with your companions or just sit back and relax. Catch up on the sleep and fun you missed while working.
