In the modern world, traveling has become much easier and now it has long ceased to be a hard-to-reach luxury. Almost all who have never been abroad, give approximately the same arguments. All these myths prevent our person from crossing over the imposed fears and go on a train abroad.
To be afraid or to understand?
The most interesting is that we truly believe in a few rather doubtful facts and deliberately refuses to see the world. As a rule, these fears are generated by means of "word of mouth" radio. Unfortunately, we trust the opinion of a neighbor with an unfortunate travel experience more and do not want to check what she said.
Often our people trust doubtless the research of a completely unfamiliar scientific institute, which I did not know about yesterday. And for a moment he does not doubt the scientists who conducted these studies. Let's not succumb to the temptation to trust all that was said with the words "scientists have established" and start to question these pseudoscientific studies.
Top of the most popular misconceptions
- Traveling today is only available to people with high incomes. In fact, this is a completely naive misconception, based on fear and complexes. In each country you can rest with different budgets and at modest expenses see all the most famous places. There are ways to travel for free . In addition, sometimes on the domestic sea resorts we leave much more money.
- You can never travel independently. Almost certainly you also slipped the idea that without the knowledge of the language and the guide in a foreign land there is nothing to do. Let's start with the fact that installing an interpreter on your phone is a trivial matter, and almost all countries today communicate in English. So you can always order your food or room in the hotel.
- A very big fear for our man before the probability of being robbed or deceived. What can you do, but life has long taught us this. Unfortunately, the likelihood that you will be robbed is much higher at the domestic resorts.
- Flights are dangerous to health. On TV, we often watch horrific news about the crashes of aircraft, we study statistics. This can be said about cruise travel. Differences in altitude will have a bad effect on well-being, and on the ship you will not be able to rest because of seasickness . Fortunately, in most cases, we are afraid to fly only because of the unknown. In other words: we were not there and how it is not really known. As for shipbuilding and those who talk about its impact on the body, you just want to ask when the last time they were on a modern ship.
- In all eastern countries, eating on the street in a cafe is dangerous. Here everything is simple: read reviews from "experienced". By the way, in domestic kitchens it is almost safer, but the products and cooking conditions leave much to be desired.
- If there is a small child, then the trip is better to postpone. Of course, for long distances to exotic countries with a radically new climate should not be sent. But in Europe today you can calmly relax and see a lot of interesting without compromising the family budget.
- Must have to do expensive vaccinations. If it is a question of tourist regions, then it is better to refuse vaccinations altogether. They only make sense for extreme rest.
- They do not like our people there. This is an unreasonable opinion, since any tourist is another "breadwinner". So safely go on vacation and learn the traditions and customs of the country. Then there will be no problems.
- The hotel can rob. First, it is much more likely that you yourself will lose something. And secondly, all the valuable you can just leave in the safe at the reception.
- Without a tourist group, you can easily get lost. In each big city there are stands with a map, where the most famous sights and all street names in English are indicated, so with the translator you do not mind.
