5. Be open- minded

Never evaluate the lives of other people because each person is unique and different in his own way. Give all ears to opinions of other regardless of his caste, status or his background. Showing disrespect towards views of others is wrong and assuming they are wrong and you are right is not a mark of humble person. Stay humble and learn from others and you will be surprised by different possibilities, opportunities, suggestions and interests provided to you which will open your mind and the way you think.

9. Plan ahead Your Outfits

Most of the travellers are last- minute packers. So, keep stuffs that you can use for too long like a black t-shirt which can be worn for 2-3 days not worrying about getting dirty as compared to light coloured t-shirts. But try and put efforts to pack a day before so that you can wear some good outfits and carry less to avoid carrying a huge backpack.
