When we first visited Nairobi as a newlywed couple, along with our first baby, it was a journey of self-discovery. We very quickly learnt to dress for the season and respect the local customs.  Despite being neighbours Uganda and Kenya are so different in weather. It was freezing over there. On this trip, we also continued the lessons on how to Travel Like a Local in any part of the globe.

See, both Paul and I were already frequent travellers and fliers! And we got to share experiences then and build on them since. Our then 3-month-old baby, started her life as a traveller too! 😊

We have since been to various destinations. From Seeing iconic sights like the Taj Mahal and the Mughal monuments, to the London eye and Big Ben, to the Equator in Uganda. Over the years we have developed some great and some not so great travel habits. So, we now share our expert tips on how to do any destination like a local!

One thing we must emphasize is that you definitely pack your manners and travel etiquette when you go to any destination be it local or international.

It’s absolutely Important to…

 

#1. Research and Plan your Itinerary.

Isn’t it always what comes first? Not so much. I know lots of times we chose the destination based on what’s on offer. Then we kinda google and do some homework on what we could do over there…Fess up, you have done this too, right?

Well, guess what, on our honeymoon, we knew exactly where we were going in advance. Yet we didn’t do our homework, we packed all the wrong kind of outfits. I specially packed all them little minis, shorts, short skirts…And boy was it cold in Nairobi, esp. in the evenings.

We ended up going on a shopping trip and I and baby daughter had our wardrobes replenished with wintry outfits. And good job we did, because 6 months later, we were on a flight to UK…Hello British winter!

 

#2. Travel like a local – Hire a Car, Take a Road Trip.

Travel like a local - Hire a car and take a road trip!

Yes, to see any destination like a local, how about you do a self drive. Take a day and hire a car.

Get your mobile sat-nav to do its job, use apps, we listed a few in our resource right here and get to see scenery off the tourist beaten track. 

For more tips on how to travel in any destination like a local, dive into video below.

Whatever you do to get a real feel for living authentic, one thing is for sure. Doing or travelling London like a Londoner or Paris like a Parisian Frenchman can be a heck of a lot of fun! For life is what You Make it!

    Great tips Julie. You definitely have more fun if you take a little time to research the area you are going. Renting a car and go to those out of the way places can be fun too.

    I am so glad you mentioned to pack your manners. Coming out of an airline family and working for an airline myself I have been all over the place. There have been times I have been embarrassed to be an American. I can see why the term ugly American was coined!

  3. Annemarie LeBlanc says:
    06/08/2017 at 12:39 pm

    Thank you for these tips. Every time I head out to a different country, I do my research on the do’s and don’ts, their culture and their norms. I would want to explore like a local, and be respectful of the people and the country I visit.

  19. My Teen Guide says:
    05/07/2017 at 8:17 pm

    I always have a rule of thumb when traveling abroad – You have to adapt to the locals, don’t expect them to do that to you, just because you are a tourist in their country. I also research about their culture to know more about their do’s and don’ts and what they consider to be taboo. Dressing appropriately is to be considered seriously.

    1. Julie Syl and Paul says:
      08/07/2017 at 7:53 pm

      Totally agree with you. And thats why we say pack your manners.com 🙂

  20. Tiara Wilson says:
    05/07/2017 at 4:22 pm

    These are some incredible tips! I always love traveling abroad, because I was raised abroad and it’s so beautiful to me, to be able to experience another countries food & culture.

    1. Julie Syl and Paul says:
      05/07/2017 at 5:25 pm

      Hey Tiara,

      Kindred soul right here. We love experiencing new Cultures, foods, activities and such 🙂

  21. Tonya Wilhelm says:
    05/07/2017 at 1:54 am

    Great tips. Packing your manners should be a must in life all the time. 🙂 I would love to travel abroad, but I don’t think it’s in my future. 🙁

    1. Julie Syl and Paul says:
      05/07/2017 at 5:24 pm

      Yes Tonya,
      So many of us leave our manners and simple courtesies behind when we go on Holiday or a trip. We hope you find the time and resources to take a trip every so often.
