That is my seat she hissed at our little gal…
Sorry? What was that? I looked down with my hold all halfway to the Overhead bin! I carried on put the bag in its space and then moved across the isle to an empty seat…Apologizing profusely as I went…But wait a minute! This is a coach/bus and there are no allocated seats. Immediately the word travel or vacation etiquette popped into my mind…We were headed to our vacation and obviously so was this lady, Off the plane onto a coach to our hotel…
This was a not so cool memory that came to mind when a friend called to share her travel nightmare…
I wasn’t one to pick a fight but this woman had hissed at my little one for no reason other than to lord it over her. I mean there were lots of free seats around us on the coach. After an 8 hr flight not counting the transit time and early wake up to the airport. My daughter was asking why I had moved her from the window seat? I stood up and asked the lady whether she had a specific piece of paper allocating her that seat on the coach. And she grumpily responded that little children should give up their seats to adults, what kind of child was I bringing up! Now normally I would agree with that sentiment…But keeping in mind the bus had lots of empty seats. She had chosen to blatantly lie about non-existent seat allocation to a tired little girl just so she could seat by a window. The idea of “racism” popped into my mind and I quickly brushed it aside…
Have you ever faced such a situation? Well my friend had a belly full…So today from years of experience and my own research as a seasoned traveller, I am gonna share some vacation etiquette so you may know how to deal with similar or other situations. Not forgetting the great travel habits to engender, so let’s get to it…
Don’t go Beach or Street walking on your own in the dark…personal safety first
Vacation Etiquette #1 Do your Research…
I know you are excited about the trip you are taking…even if it’s a road trip you are heading to a whole different place. So do your research on the location you are heading to. What the locals do, what are their cultures, traditions, what do they frown upon…You would be surprised that even in UK We have The Northerners, The Scots, Welsh, Irish, English cultures and within these different regional cultures too. Knowing the right travel and destination etiquette can go a long way on making your vacation much more fun. Stepping over someone’s stretched legs in Uganda is frowned upon, and I believe in Nepal too. Don’t hold hands in Dubai in public not even with your hubby and don’t drink in non-licensed places. Don’t get amorous in public either…
“Eating with your left hand in Saudi Arabia is a no-no.” #traveletiquette Click To Tweet
Etiquette, customs, rules, do vary from country to country, so make sure to do your research before you leave your home, or jail time could be the least of your worries!
Vacation Etiquette #2 Respect At the Root of everything!
Treat others the way you would like to be treated…With respect and understanding at the very least. You don’t know their story or what they have been through in the past few hours or days before your journey crossed on that vacation, vehicle or event. I am not saying tolerate rude people, absolutely not. But don’t rise to their bait either…nor should you get into a word fight…Or worse still fisticuffs. You may be asked to leave the space…or worst case scenario end up in a foreign police cell…It’s a vacation remember. Time to relax and let some things pass! Pick your battles …!
If you are on a plane, put your luggage in your own overhead bin, don’t shove trash in the airsick bag its simply dirty, don’t recline your seat abruptly, you could bang someone’d head. And please don’t take your socks off. Your feet may have a wee whiff. And have you been to a dirty plane lavatory…OMG lots of people treat this space like it’s a dirty space Treat it like your own one at home. Leave it as clean as you would like to find it!
Yes I know it’s your honeymoon and you want that first wee one in 9 months flat…But must you have it all day and all night. Screaming like you are being strangled…with the thin walls separating you and a family next door. With little ones…! Must you dump your used rubbers down the loo? Why use the towels to clean your dirty shoes after a trek? All things tourists do, and worse…! After all they pay for the cleaning service! This is something a hotel owner shared with me and I cringed! Why treat the hotel any less than you would treat your home? Those workers are someone’s mom, dad, nana, brother, sister etc! What if it were you…
It goes without saying that you must respect the staff and service providers. Some people adopt airs and attitudes on vacation, making ridiculous demands to be waited on hand and foot. This behaviour your children pick up on and they take it to a whole new level esp. when they get back home, then you have a problem to sort lol…Lead by example and respect the staff and other people’s space. In other words…Pack your manners in your hand luggage very close to you on your vacation!
Travel Etiquette #3 Be Generous…
Yes this is a controversial one that we have had a chat on a trip once. My son asked; mom do you get a tip when you do your tutorials? No I said. So why do you have to give tips when we go on vacations? Hm I had to think that one through so here is my take on it. These people serve us and make our vacation or trip so much more fun. They do the things we would normally do our selves back home like; cleaning, washing up, cooking, putting away, entertaining us, laundry, picking and dropping us for very little pay…Its only of good and generous cheer to say thank you in a way they would really appreciate, thus the tip.
He seemed to agree with me…what do you think? And on that note here’s what we have come to learn & our rule of thumb on tipping:
- Taxi or Coach driver if they are helpful and get your bags stowed away and off at destination, give you a bit of a commentary as they drive you, are courteous to you and help you out of the car – Tip $1 for more than 3 bags if you got just 3 bags then a fiver is okay! If you just have a hold all well carry it yourself!
- Valet or Bellboy – $1 per bag a lil more if they have to lug the bags up a staircase.
- Housekeeping staff – $1/per person per day with a Lil Thank you note. Make use of that Hotel Pen & Notepad! Some people simply take it home…tut tut! Do this daily as opposed to the last day and you will have the cleanest room, extra goodies and better service from other staff…word spreads!
- Waiters and Kitchen Staff 10-15% of bill, this is irrespective of food quality. Base this on the speed of service, attitude e.g. with a smile, response to your queries or requests & cleanliness of the food space. Check that it’s not already added as a service charge!
Vacation Etiquette #4 Dress for the occasion
I bet you think am talking party…that too. But let’s talk vacation outfits…some people take this as an opportunity to flaunt laws of the countries they visit. Trust me you must cover up while in the Emirates or end up in jail…Dress for the occasion, culture tradition and weather lolol. Put some thought into your outfit. I always tell my kids that
Even though we are on vacation, let’s dress for the environment #Vacationtips Click To Tweet
“Even though we are on vacation, let’s dress for the environment.”
Go change before you dine, flip flops and a swimsuit just aren’t right for the dinning space. Remember those photos? You want to look your best as well. 🙂 Don’t be that man or woman attracting attention for all the wrong reasons due to the wrong outfit. Respect other vacationers or beach, event users too. So unless it’s a nude beach, keep it covered. I will never forget the lady that photo bombed my beach photo…Sans Bra…! I didn’t know where to look! My rule of thumb is to dress as much like the locals. That way I blend in and guess what I wont be over charged in the local market…tourists tend to stand out an dare over charged by the local vendors!
Vacation Etiquette #5 Let’s talk About those photos
We all want the photo memories, heck we wanna show off a lil to our friends or family that aren’t with us. In fact in our travel club we have a “ You should be here sign.” Mind you allegedly feet selfies are not cool lolol, but I love this image so it passes the test 🙂
Anyhoo…learn where you are and observe the rules. For instance in the Rome Sistine chapel you cannot take photos. There are lots of other places of natural, historical or architectural beauty where taking photos is banned because of possible damage to artwork or artifacts. RESPECT THESE PLACES. Imagine if everyone before you disrespected these rules, you wouldn’t find them in their beauty and glory…the coming generations will thank you for it! Do teach your children about these priceless treasures too so they learn to respect and pass on the lesson.
And by the way, mind that selfie stick…they are fast becoming a nuisance and have been banned in some places. So make sure your beloved stick is not confiscated cos you took it in the wrong location. And not all photos are great shares. We don’t need to see you in your Adam suit however lovely the bathroom suite may be!
Be sure the locals are happy to take a selfie with you, or having their image taken for your posterity! Don’t take liberties!
My rule of thumb;
“Is this photo worth taking? Will I even look at it 3 months later with nostalgia..? If the answer is NO, I don’t take that photo simple!” – Julie Syl Kalungi
But of course be sure to take that Outer space Selfie…you may never get another chance 🙂
Vacation Dinner Etiquette #6 Food No Nos
Yes one of the reasons we travel lots is to try out new and different cuisines…And we try to go find the local cuisine as opposed to eating hotel foods or chips and chicken or whatever all the time. Don’t be loud, and rude, chewing with your mouth full and pointing while dinning is rude. No one wants to look at your cud as you chew it so its best you keep it closed as you chew. In fact a friend told me that in USA blowing on your piping hot food is considered rude.

If you are hosted, watch what the hosts do or ask diplomatically and eat what you are given, unless you have food allergies. Let them know in advance if thats the case & maybe contribute to your meals!
If you are hosted, watch what the hosts do or ask diplomatically #vacationetiquette Click To Tweet
Vacation Etiquette #7 Clean up aka Personal Hygiene
Personal hygiene may seem like an obvious vacation etiquette. Yet the number of times I have sat beside someone that smells like they came out of a bar after 3 nights of drinking and no bath…Euuurrgg! Or someone takes their shoes off and airs their toes on along haul flight, with smelly dirty socks of some form of foot/nail problem…aaarrrg! Do take a shower and use deodorant before travelling. Use that strong perfume spray sparingly. Keep your shoes on, put on a pair of fresh socks,…and wear clean underwear! Who knows what could happen and you may need help. Make it easy for the help team. In short save everyone on the same journey, vacation or vehicle the smelliness or strong scents!
Vacation Etiquette #8 Talk to your children
It’s a common problem, a harassed mom with unruly children, having a sibling battle in the plane/bus/train isle and a queue forming behind. They carry on the bickering when sat down, kick the seats in front, push their seats waaay back and are a general nuisance…(of course yours are lil angels right 😛) Well here is the thing, these children have not been prepared by you about travel or vacation etiquette.
How about you prepare your wee angels before the trip. Set a reward system for great behaviour and remind them it’s a vacation for mom/dad to enjoy and relax too. Your children should really be taught to respect authority…On a flight/cruise it could be the difference between an enjoyable trip or a nightmare. And their safety could be at risk! Goes back to respect really…
Teach your children respect in your daily life and your travel experiences won’t be a nightmare. Same goes for how they treat the hotel room and property. Cleanliness is next to godliness. Remember children are children and will always act as children unless they are given an attractive alternative….
So how about you do prepare them for the “Treat” they are about to have so they “Earn” it with good behaviour; To, during and from the vacation…Of course future trips also on the line if bad behaviour manifests! Have a chat with them about the rules and travel etiquette where you’re going, what you’ll be doing, and what you expect of them – don’t hold back or be too soft, you NEED that vacation too right!
Vacation Etiquette #9 Lighten up…it’s a vacation!
Yes many of us have become intolerant of other people, children, differences, foreign cultures, etc. Come on lighten up a lil you are all on vacation or heading somewhere. Consider that your paths have crossed for that moment in time. Why not enjoy it or let them be! Ignore the child that’s screaming, empathize with the parent. Could be their first flight, cruise or bus/train trip ever, and they are stressed out as it is. Don’t mind them…Why not use some earphones if on a flight or long coach journey. By the way take yours!
Why not let the middle passenger have that arm rest on a long haul flight! And definitely grab a travel pillow during winter sales, they are super cheap, so you don’t fall asleep on a random stranger’s shoulder!
If you travel with children, how about bringing enough stuff to keep them entertained till arrival or they sleep it out? That way other travellers won’t give you the evils. 🙂
And if you wish to have a bellyful and a laugh about social media etiquette while on vacation simply head to Buzzfeed.

I am not a seasoned traveler, but my husband is. He has been to over 30 different countries and almost every state. The tipping part was what surprised me. I had stayed in hotels with my parents as a kid, but they never tipped the cleaning staff, so I didn’t know it was a thing. My husband did it on our first trip together – but he usually tips a $20 for a 3 day stay.
Thank you for the other tips as well. We are planning a trip to Iceland in December. It’s my first out-of-the-country travel and I want to do it right.
Hey Alicia,
Thanks for sharing your experiences. Imagine you wre the cleaner in a hotel with hundreds of rooms, Your back, kills, your hands are like lead, your feet are tired and you arent even half way the process…Guess what will lift your spirits and give you that extra motivation…A great tip. So yes do leave one that you are happy to. $20 for 3 days sounds like fair dos! 🙂 Happy vacation!
#7 is so true! Strong colognes and perfumes while traveling is not a good idea, but neither is not taking a shower! I have dealt with both of those situations and it made for a very uncomfortable start to our trip.
OMG a shower is a must whether traveling or not…strong colognes…can be a bloody pain 🙂
Great tips. We are planning a family trip to Europe this summer with 3 kids. I will put these to use.
Go go Shannon and Enjoy your travels 🙂

Very amusing and educational post Julie. Yes, I have encountered some of these situations which can be extremely unpleasant to say the least. Some of it is just rude spill-over from the way people behave anywhere. But no need to join those situations.
Hi Carol,
Glad you had a bit of a laugh and got value too. Indeed we have to be different for all then right reasons 🙂
Ta for stopping by!
PKJW~
Yes to being generous! I love that one! I’m always tipping properly when traveling and being kind to strangers. You never know what could happen.
Exactly Debbie, Glad you are a generous soul, it comes back to you in such amazing ways you didnt expect 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!

Respect is a big thing where ever you go! I think the reason that many people look down on US citizens is because of their lack of respects for other places and other cultures.
The way you broke down this post is excellent Doing research so that you’re well informed can save a lot of possible headaches, and being respectful of all people are the two most important tips I took away from this post.
Hey Sara,
Glad you got value and thanks for your time 🙂
PKJW~
Good tips and things to think about before you travel somewhere new. You would think that a lot of these things would be common sense and how you act but apparently it isn’t. I really like doling out hotel tips throughout your stay. That’s a great tip!
Great post julie
Great tips! I do want to say, that as an American, it is not considered rude to blow on your food if it’s hot. Feel free to blow away, that’s what I tell my little ones. 🙂

I Thoroughly Enjoyed this Article about Travel etiquette. especially having grown in a tourist destination and Been on the serving side of Much of whats entailed to Make vacations Amazing. i Do want to point out, When traveling to the US, Servers in your Restaurants Should be Tipped 20% as Its Part of their actual Pay and not a gratuity persay. Restaurant Employers are allowed to pay FAR below minimum wage as Servers are expected 20%. I have had this issue being tipped 10% or less because of what was customary in the travelers country verses what boils down to default of services here.
Hello Tara,
So true when you live in a much desired tourist destination. And thanks for your contribution.We shall amend or add that to our list 🙂
PKJW~
[ Smiles ] Learning a countries custom is always important; you may end up embarrassing yourself if you don’t.

Nice tips I particularly like the research part and also planning. And of course politeness.

Soo enjoyed your post !!~~ must always be considerate and know what is expected according to where you are going I Love theses rules of etiquette !!~~ thank you !~
Hi Sandra,
We are glad you enjoyed it and yes we gotta be considerate in life even on out vacations 🙂
PKJW~
Julie, great stuff! I really believe that you need to be polite to others and not act like seats belong to you. I travel SouthWest Airlines a lot and they have open seating. So we cannot save seats for anyone!
I love these tips, but moving a child!!!! that i believe is rude. Researching where you are going is a good idea.
This is a great post and a good reminder. We have to respect the culture of others, always, when we travel.
wow great post Julie as always and awesome tips for travel thanks so much for sharing
Hi LuAnn,
You are most welcome and Thanks for stopping by!
PKJW~
This is such a good, comprehensive list of behaviors to consider while you’re traveling. I’m glad you spoke to the woman about her behavior towards your daughter too. People are much more apt to act inappropriately if they get away with it. 🙂
These are some great tips to make sure you have a wonderful vacation to enjoy with peace of mind. We do a lot of research as we travel with our kids & better planning always helps. I love that travel pillow that will be so helpful to avoid disturbing someone.
A great post, some things to keep in mind when travelling.
These are excellent tips. It has been a long time since I have traveled on public transportation.
I can’t believe that woman had the nerve to try and tell you that her seat was assigned.
Such is life my dear, we simply gotta know when to pick our battles 🙂
And a rude git shouldnt ruin your trip! Dont allow them!
PKJW~
I’m sure you had fun on your trip! Those food are delicious.
Hi Nicole,
We avoid those specific foods as much as possible on our trips huni. We do enjoy the trips lots though 🙂
PKJW~
I have encountered some rude tourists when I traveled to Hong Kong a few years back. Thankfully, during my last travel to Korea, the locals and tourists that I met along the way were all nice and congenial.
Wow CZjai,
Glad the rude tourists didnt put you off Korea, Its on our bucket list 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.
PKJW~
These 9 simple steps are awesome and very helpful. Its always important to know the etiquette.
Thanks for your time Too 🙂
PKJW~
Totally agree about doing your research! I always enjoy myself so much more when I have a plan of action 🙂
Thats it Zoe, Plan your trip, do your research 🙂
PKJW~
research is definitely key! and if people don’t want to lose their selfie sticks it is easy to look up places your visiting to see if they are allowed
Hi Michelle,
You would be surprised how many dont ever check and lose the dang selfie to a bin nearby where the local street vendor grabs the lot, repackages them in his back garage and sells them on the cheap. We got a Selfie stick for less than 5 Euros from a street vendor in Barcelona and when we asked for the box & Instructions he looked askance..Makes you wonder lol!
PKJW~
Great tips! It’s important to have good etiquette at all times. Even while travelling!
THank you Virginia, Glad you agree 🙂
PKJW~
Great tips and list. Thanks for sharing this etiquette for international vacation.
Hi Ron,
You are most welcome and thanks for your time 🙂

Wonderful tips for travel. I have friends from other countries and they tell me cultural practices that I never would have known
Hi Dia,
Indeed we see so many different cultures on our travels too so yo are spot on 🙂
PKJW~
Etiquette outside of your country is so important especially when you know that there’s going to be a language barrier. It definitely all starts with the first tip, which is to do your research! Make sure you research on common courtesies too.
Hi Eliza,
Indeed Research and Self respect and respect for others, tolerance and patience really…and we are good to go on the next vacation 🙂
PKJW~
awesome tips, I tip waitress according to how much attention we are given. Always 10% but sometimes more depending on job well done.

Hi Annie,
Glad you appreciate the service industry we wish more people were like you 🙂

Such a great and insightful post. Also really love the photos of you, especially in outerspace.
Hi Jenna,
Thanks for your kind words, Indeed we enjoyed Epcot and will never forget feeling like I am flying…I believe I can fly now 🙂
Julie Syl~
Phew! I felt my blood pressure rising. People can be so rude! I’ve never traveled but this is some great tips!
Wow Baha,
Thats a strong reaction yet in many cases the things we have shared here are just the tip of the iceberg to what some people get up to when away from home!
Hope it hasnt put you off traveling abroad!
PKJW~
I have always been bothered by “out of place” tourists who dress like they are back home when it’s completely inappropriate in my home country and even dangerous. How can they not do some research before flying and be considerate of the local society? :/
Absolutely Ronnie,
Many tourists tend to misbehave on a vacation like they left their manners at home…Considerate is not on their mind when they get on that flight most of the time its All about them! Thats why we wrote this post!
PKJW~
Great tips.I will for sure being using so of these tips next time I travel:)
Hi Jen,
glad you got value 🙂
PKJW~
It can be so easy to get grouchy when traveling, but everyone should have the decency to be civil. Unfortunately, we encounter all kinds during travel and it’s a great teaching opportunity for children.
Travel is the one thing that adds value to you outside of a class room indeed Rochelle. We learn so much when we travel…from home t work, from home to business, pleasure, vacay etc! So we gotta learn to be more tolerant. Its why I always say I am taking my children on a cultural educational trip when we go on a holiday say during term time coz they learn way more about the country than they ever do in a classroom 🙂
PKJW~
Fantastic post! I chuckled through some of these tips because they resonated so well.
He heeee Glad you were entertained, just what we like to do and got value 🙂
PKJW~
As much as the economies around the world could benefit from tourism, some people should stay at home! At least until they have read this article and learn to respect themselves first – then they will be better able to interact properly, despite differences and respect other people’s cultures. Great post.!
You have put it so much more dramatically and effectively Claudette 🙂 We appreciate your candor 🙂
Thank you
PKJW~
We do look up etiquette and customs when we travel out of the country. Things can be so different in other countries and we might be considered rude to do things we may do here or think they are rude if they dont do things the way we do in the US.
Absolutely spot on Jessica and we are glad you do. Demystifies somethings and makes a trip much more enjoyable 🙂
PKJW~
That lady was rude to trick your child. My husband would have said something. That’s just wrong.
Great post!! But the first part really annoyed me. Like what the heck was her problem??!! I would have not gotten up..tssss…move on sister!!! Thank God you had a pleasant vacation. Keep enjoying them.
Hi Huub,
Ahhh you made my day, I imagine she is a bully by nature that woman coz bullies always pick on who they consider weaker ad to her a kid was fair game.
Ahh well, we had a blast, didnt give her a second thought 🙂 Thanks for your support 🙂
PKJW~
