Are you excited, joyful, nervous? Do you feel butterflies in your tummy? Holidays are so monumental that it&#8217;s perfectly normal to feel a few butterflies in your tummy before your trip. Anticipation for new countries, cultures, languages, cuisines and busy itineraries builds so much before you set off that it&#8217;s important to remember how to translate this anticipation into feelings of pure bliss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So, how can you make sure you get the most out of the well-deserved holiday you&#8217;ve waiting so long for? From listening to music to trying new activities and helping others, here are some easy travel tips to ensure you spend your trip being a very happy traveller.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-listen-to-music-every-day\"><strong>Listen to music every day<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Music is <a href=\"https:\/\/greatergood.berkeley.edu\/article\/item\/five_ways_music_can_make_you_a_better_person\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">known to make you feel good<\/a>\u2026 So if you want to be a happy traveller, be sure to put your earphones on and blast your favourite tunes at least once a day. You could even listen to local artists or traditional music from the destination you\u2019re visiting. Or turn it up a notch and take some dancing classes to really get your heart racing. Another one of our favourite easy travel tips is to create a playlist of the music you listened to most on your trip. Whenever you listen to it again later on, you\u2019ll be taken on a nostalgic journey as all the memories of your trip come flooding back.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><em>BE INSPIRED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/scientifically-proven-travel-reduces-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">7 ways travel is scientifically proven to reduce stress<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"981\" height=\"655\" class=\"wp-image-144753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2021\/07\/Trafalgar_real_ease_scandinavia.jpg\" alt=\"elderly couple laughing and walking through scenic landscapes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Trafalgar_real_ease_scandinavia.jpg 981w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Trafalgar_real_ease_scandinavia-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Trafalgar_real_ease_scandinavia-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Trafalgar_real_ease_scandinavia-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 981px) 100vw, 981px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-try-a-new-food\"><strong>Try a new food<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Trying new food is one of the best ways to get to know a place when travelling.

You\u2019ll feel more confident about travelling when you\u2019re in the know about local customs and traditions, plus you won\u2019t risk offending anyone while you travel. Some of the key things to learn about are offensive behaviours or gestures.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, in Thailand, you shouldn\u2019t touch anyone on the head or point your feet at anyone. In China, it is offensive to leave your chopsticks upright in a bowl as this is associated with death and funeral practices. In Iran, you should never give a \u201cthumbs up\u201d, as this is one of the rudest insults you can make here.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>From what to wear, how to eat, to how to greet people, there are many different rules of etiquette that vary between countries and cultures.
