One of the best travel advice I learned myself is to make sure you bring a small card with logos for things you want to use or go to. This is especially important in places where there can be a language barrier.
Just go to a clerk or a kind-looking stranger, take the card out, and nicely gesture that you need to go use a toilet or find a taxi stop.
The second best advice is to memorise or write down the local terms for those places. In Japan, you can use "toiretto," but it's better to use "otearai."
This simplifies the process so much! Thanks!
I always research restaurants prior to traveling. I read YELP reviews, check out the menus, look at the pictures of food, and book reservations in advance. I am rarely disappointed because I put the effort in prior to travel. Plus, the planning gets me even more excited for my trip. Thanks for all the travel trips. I love your videos!
Also send copies of your important documents such as your passport, etc to your email. That way if you lose everything you may be able to replace your documents etc, quicker and more easier. If you ever need to cancel a debt or credit cards,etc it’s handy to have an email you can access rather then scrambling to find the information you need. Save different types of information in different emails. So for example if you need to open an email for a reservation or something else you are not sharing your other information by having it all saved in a single email
Great tip
Hi Chris. Love all the advice you saved in the live stream. My favorite advice that I got was to do and see the things that you really want. Because you never know if you will ever return to that place or might not be available anymore.
For sure. I learned the hard way this past year
That's a good tip too!
Great advice! Always take the local breakfast!
Thanks for pulling together all of the great information 😃
Thanks Roxa!
I don't travel much so my stay at Marriott Courtyard was very nice
More best travel advice: Don't spend most of your time messing with your cameras and phones. Mingle with the locals. Join local activities and festivities. Try local food. Try something new. Soak it all in. The experience will be much more memorable and rewarding.
All good tips Sean!
So true, all the photos we took on our travel experiences have been watched maybe twice in the 5 to 30 years since we took them. We can see better quality videos on you tube with more variety.
I’m one who researches the food as much as anything else. My daughter and I are both gluten sensitive so I have to have a list of options that are safe.
Hola Chris
Jimmy from Ct.
Recently came across your vids .
Very helpful over all .
Thanks for the plethora of knowledge.
👍🙏
Thanks Jimmy!
I need you know that your videos have been one of the most usefull tools in my english learning, specialy in mi listening. Thank you so much.
Great advice!! All of it! As we start to travel again, it's good to get a refresher on some stuff we've forgotten. We LOVE Rick Steves and have been to his office for presentations several times (we don't live too far from his HQ in Edmonds, WA). My neighbor is one of his Europe tour guides, even! But!!! You're quickly becoming another of our favorite travel gurus! 😉👍
Thanks Anna! That's cool that you've been to Rick Steve's office!
as usual your videos are clear, well spoken, and most of all interesting .
Thanks Arlene!
😊Thanks for these travel tips! 😊
Any time!
Great video ! Always good to learn more great travel tips. Thanks Chris
Thanks Colleen!
Dear old Rick Steves! A real legend...Watched all his European series. Glad we did🙏
Rick Steve's is a legend indeed!
I have to put in a pitch for national car rental. As a business traveler I am allowed to book a midsized and with national I can book that and get whatever car is available on the emerald aisle. It's awesome.
Thanks for the tip!
We are all about experience than food. We traveled with our friend who is a foodie in Japan. We followed them for an hour and by the time we get to the restaurant there was a long line. We were so hungry and decided not to eat with them. While we discover delicious food elsewhere they were still waiting in line so we got to explore/discover the area until they are done eating.
I'm with you on that one.. I have zero desire to wait for a long time for food.
Agreed when i did the 6am flight the airport was empty, so nice
That was a nice stream chris i liked it very well and i hope to see you next stream.
Thanks carlos!
I’m really more in line with your Mom’s and the OC girl’s advice.
I also think that the old proverb “When in Rome do as the Romans do.” serves as the best ever travel advice, as well. In other words, the only way to truly get a feel for the destination that you’re visiting is to live and experience it as the locals do (but in style; no roughing it or cheapskate moves).
Great job Chris; a very entertaining and informative presentation, as usual. 👍🏻
Yes.. high class Roman style! :)
I try to time our flights so we arrive at our destination hotel around check-in time, especially if we're not renting a car to hold our stuff.
Tried to watch this yesterday, but UA-cam wasn't loading properly. Caught it on the replay. Great advice. Can't wait to visit Japan. 🤙
I'm ready for Japan again too! :)
You can put a note on your reservation or a request for a specific room but there is NO guarantee that the hotel will be able to accommodate you.
I always ask for a first floor room close to the lobby but I rarely get it unless it is the hotel that I stay at regularly and the staff knows me.
I really enjoyed your video. ⭐️
Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼
Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼🇦🇱
Thanks M in Albania!
8:25 (ish) - I think there are some exceptions to the rule about avoiding "tourist restaurants" GF and I ate at an Italian place on the grounds of Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen and the food was quite good.
I agree! I ate at a steak restaurant at Tívoli gardens in Copenhagen and it was great 👌
OCGirl sounds like my kind of person with her food planning. A+
I agree that Asian breakfast is better than Western breakfast. When my grandma was alive, we would go out to eat Pho for breakfast in San Jose and it was definitely more filling than the cereal at my house.
Wow! I learned soooo much today! Thank you😀
Thanks Aracne!
great vid, thanks Chris... hope you guys are planning a trip to Vegas soon :-) Miss your in person updates !!
Hi Joe... Aloha to Hawaii first :)
Fantastic tips! (Mona Lisa is delish!).
Glad you agree on Mona Lisa! I love their lasagna
Hi Chris, I will always ask for a low level as don't like elevators and also will always look for a Non Smoking hotel.
19:50 - full agreement - I save carefully for vacations, book them, then pay them off in 1-3 large chunks before the monthly cycle ends. Here's a tip: Write out a check to the payment address of the credit card you plan to use while you are away. Leave the envelope with someone you trust, and have them chuck it in the mail when you're halfway through your trip. It will arrive and be posted right around the time you return - everything you spent on the trip will be fully or partially paid off by the time you get back!
Write a check? Ever heard of the internet?
Not sure what you're eating Chris however you dont change in years. Keep it up.
In N Out Burger 3 times a week! 😀
@Yellow Productions Lol, Wow those are magic burgers!
OC Girl and my partner do the same thing. She researches everything food-related in a destination, and we sort of do the opposite: we find attractions around where the food is!
Nice!
Yo yo yo boy in yellow!!! Love your videos. Keep em coming.
Thanks IrishGip!
Not everyone can afford the super expensive luxury hotels. I would rather spend less on a room and have more to spend on attractions, museums.
I travelled for 2,5 yrs alleine in Australia and SEA. Now my boyfriend says its not his priority....so i a kinda Argument he said " if you think you need to travel to Those places....well you have to Do it on your own"
I was just grinning to myself....travel to London and edinburgh this year....alone.....and im really looking forward to it.😁
Thanks for the great advice Chris ! I really want to go to Japan now that i've been fully vaxxed and have a lot of UR points to spend
Sweet! Japan on UR point sounds good!
Latest from my friends in Tokyo, Covid-19 is bad over there. You must quarantine for 15 days.
My friend and I made the mistake of eating at a restaurant just outside Vatican City... two small pizzas and 2 diet coke cost us about 80 Euros... when we tried to explain we hadn't ordered whole pizzas, just individual pieces...of a sudden our waiter no longer spoke English 🙄 Lesson learned!
I went to Vegas on the cheap (saved $700 from work used Spirit stayed at Strat(strat was the most important place for me to go to on the first trip here for Insanity/observation tower)+ Luxor loved both them and they both really were good value on snaptravel or expedia can't really remember which one I got back from Vegas and still had $300) I had falafel/hummus a bunch from the same food truck and del taco somewhere near ross Dfl....I want to go again when vegas is HOT like in August...I might spend more on a hotel....out of the more expensive ones which one is best out of Mandalay Bay/Golden Nugget on fremont/Ceasars palace/Circa(not circus circus but the one on fremont)????...my main interests are Pools(most important) and the Room(nice carpeting/non tacky furniture)....on cheaper ones which do like the best.... Sahara/Excalibur/flamingo/NY NY...by cheap I mean you can book for about $25-$40+ $35 resort fee)
Mandalay Bay, or Circa are the best on your list. For the cheaper ones, get an upgraded room. Using the $20 sandwich trick works, if they are not booked up.
@@irvingjohnson9244 I'm almost definitely going to stay at mandalay bay that gold just looks amazing on it
@@michaelsuzio4364 Good choice. Beautiful, inside and out. I think you'll enjoy it. I hear it has a great pool, too.
Hi Chris, I love to travel to see the world, but I am scared to fly. It's mostly turbulence. I regent took a chance and flew with the family to Arizona to see the Antelope Canyon. I was stressed out all the way over. On the way back, the turbulence was bad at least for me. I hang on to the seats and just want to cry. No matter how much my son comforts me, I feel on edge. Any tips fore to stay calm when I fly. Thanks
Hi Natalie -- not sure I have any advanced tips in this area other than to realize that flying is actually safer than driving a car which most of us do on a daily basis without stressing out too much. So there's no need to stress. Planes are designed to operate in turbulence.
Hi Chris, love listening to your advise. Which place would you choose on the south end of the Vegas strip, New York, New York or Luxor.
NYNY. Better location
Chris, were you the one who said that if the restaurant has a good view, chances are the food isn’t that good? That advice has also stuck with me.
For sure M T!
I would like to know what kind of " general emergency medicine" you would take on your trips . Also: e.g., when we had visited Brazil, people told us: " don't eat anything which cannot be peeled, don't drink tap water or brush your teeth with it, etc.". I would have liked to receive some travel tips of this kind.
I generally don't go to any 3rd world places that I can't easily get to a pharmacy.. with that being said.. what I have in my travel bag is Immodium for stomach upset, and neosporin for cuts
I hate the idea of paying $5 for water also. One thing the Coachella Music and Arts Festival is famous for is mandating all bottled water sold at all of their vendors are never more than $2. Bottled water at Coachella has been $2 since its very first festival in 1999.
Best travel advice I’ve received is to not travel to poor countries
Do airline miles expire? Delta or American Airlines
I bet you Dave Ramsey never picked up a dinner/lunch check !
Burbank costs more than LAX!
What’s the best way to figure out if a hotel has a lounge or not?
Go to TripAdvisor. Search the reviews, see if people talk about a "lounge"
A cheap hotel in a good location beats a good hotel in a bad location..
"It was a fantastic place" ...rotf lol
Glad you enjoyed that one :)

Are they charging extra for obese people on the airplane seating?
