One of my great passions is traveling - as much as time and the old bank account will allow. Whether you travel alone or with others, there are certain tips that can really help. Here are a few.

1. Street Food - Ah, who doesn't love trying mystery food on a stick? Well, the mystery can land you in bed or the bathroom for a few days. Be careful, particularly if you have also been trying the local alcoholic beverages.

2. Brushing Teeth When Traveling - Many a traveler has shown strict discipline in avoiding sketchy water at a travel destination, yet they still get sick. Why? They brush their teeth with tap water! Don't!

3. Traveler Fanny Packs - Fanny packs are a very popular option for holding important documents such as money, passports, and so on. They also stick out like a target to thieves and pickpockets. Don't wear them.

4. Garbage Bag Pants - Despite it being roasting in the summer, many historical sites will require you to wear pants to enter. You can usually rent garbage bag pants around these areas. They look like pants, but are made of garbage bag material.

5. Russia, Friends, and Vodka - Russia is a great place to visit. The people are friendly and vodka drinking is very common. Have fun, but use your common sense. Some Russians are simply too friendly if you know what I mean.

6. Wrinkle-Free Pants - Always take a pair of wrinkle-free pants. You can roll them up to save space. You will need them to enter churches, museums, and other places.

7. Taking Travel Guidebooks - If you are traveling to multiple destinations, travel guidebooks can become an issue. Simply put, they are heavy. Pack one for the first destination. You can trade books with other travelers you meet.

8. Air Courier Flights - Yes, they really exist. You can fly for next to nothing to some exotic locations. You are only allowed to take one bag, and usually have to return in seven days. The shorter the notice you need, the cheaper the flights.

9. Kids and Trip Planning - Do not plan a trip without getting your kids' input if you are taking them. If they are not involved, they will complain endlessly. If they are consulted, they will be more open-minded.

10. Keep Kids Interested - Kids get bored when traveling from one destination to another. Video games are annoying to those around you, so try something else to keep them interested. A Nomad Travel Journal is a great idea.

Travel is many things to many people. Some prefer luxury, while others prefer to rough it. I have to admit I tend to fall in the rough it group, but a night of luxury isn't bad either!
