7 things you shouldn't do when traveling

1. Do not feed wild animals

Yes, it's tempting to post on Instagram a photo of sharing breakfast with a monkey or raccoon. But you cannot feed all the animals that you meet on your way in a foreign country. First, because of their unpredictable behavior. Secondly, our food can be deadly for them.

2. Don't take pictures of people without permission

In some countries, it is even officially prohibited. Before capturing someone, go up and talk to him.

3. Don't litter

Even if locals or other tourists do this, don't be like them. Use reusable water bottles and cloth shopping bags instead of plastic bags.

4. Do not fly too often on airplanes

Airplanes emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This leads to pollution and global warming, so this is more of a moral issue. And also, choosing a train, car or water transport, you do not have to pay a lot for tickets and go through a long control at the airport.

5. Don't waste a lot of money

It is better to buy souvenirs away from tourist places. And it is more economical and much more interesting to eat in restaurants and cafes that locals love.

6. Don't take selfies with animals

Many of these animals are acquired illegally and kept in inappropriate conditions - all for the purpose of using them as photographic props for tourists.

7. Don't humiliate people

Treat everyone you meet with respect on your travels. If you've taken a guided tour of the poorest nook on the planet, don't treat the locals as exhibits.
