Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

While most of the time we can travel without the need to learn any foreign words, its always useful to learn a few simple words and phrases to make your trip go smoother and maybe even very important in case of an emergency.

If there are any particular words or phrases you have found useful in a foreign language in your past trips, please share them with us. State the country or a language and share with us the English meaning of simple words and phrases that you found useful when traveling in that particular country.

Travel Don’ts

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

Life is full of uncertainties! But if we collaborate effectively with others, we can avoid a lot of such uncertainties with our collective knowledge. That’s the advantage you get by being a member of the Roomsnet.com Travel Community. Uncertainties can arise when traveling to a place you have never been to before. Most places are actually fun to visit, but in every place there are certain aspects that differ from one another. Should you take a Taxi instead of a Metro in Paris? Should you tip the room service person in Barcelona? Is it safe to walk in the streets at night? These are the things that many people think about, before they go on holiday.

We know you must have a lot of such stories to share with us based on your past travel experiences. If you have found something to avoid when traveling to any destination in the world, please do share with us. That will certainly help other travelers when planning their trips. It may be the places, food, restaurants, taxi services, tipping, things to do or words not to use with the locales. Share, according to your experiences, the Tourist Traps to be avoided! You can check the Roomsnet.com Travel Community to see what the other members have to share.
