Do:
- keep your pack small, compact and especially light
- plan the journey but be very flexible
- grow some patience – you’ll need it
- throw yourself into local cultures
- bring one luxury – ours was a two cup travel coffee press
- sign up for Skype – it will save you a mint for calling home
Dont:
- let the reputation of a country put you off
- travel after dark
- offer bribes
- give your travel documents to just anyone who asks for them
- be afraid to make a total mess of the local language (Mambo!)
- let a child sit on your lap – it will pee
