Hi all....I was just out on CNN.com and one of their articles was about the stereotype of the "Ugly American Traveler". I know all our Mom's raised us right, so this isn't really a concern...but thought I would pass on the tips as we are well on our way to following all of them :)
1) Research the area and its culture before you travel to your destination. Read guidebooks to learn about the region.
2) Learn some basic words in the language of the region you are traveling to. Don't expect everyone to speak English.
3) Travel with a desire to experience the local cuisine. Don't expect to get a hamburger.
4) Don't flash around money or expensive items like cell phones and cameras.
5) Try to really experience the culture. You are less likely to offend if you understand.
50+ days....can't believe it!
