If the country to which you’re traveling requires certain vaccinations, make sure you carry with you the certificate stating you got the treatment.

With no certificate, there is no way to prove to the authorities that you have been vaccinated, and you could be quarantined.

Tip the staff at the hotel appropriately when you are staying at a hotel. An appropriate tip is considered $1 for each piece of luggage you have, and $2-$5 per day for the housekeeping service. Doing this will not only show that you appreciated the work they did, but it will also foster a good relationship with them.

Bring a book of matches or a business card of your motel with you while traveling about the city.
