Everyone loves travelling, for this very reason people try to get more and new experiences by visiting to different foreign countries. Many of the people come across this idea of travelling to new countries by watching shows on televisions, which make people aware about the different sort of cultures followed, languages spoken by them, the food they eat and many more things are there in this list. People have this mindset that other countries are better than their own, this is the reason why they go and travel on holidays, some of the students travel abroad for the purpose of studies in different and well established universities. For some, the reason of travelling to the foreign nations may be totally vary from all these mentioned above. Learning is something which most of the people adore and try to gain as much as knowledge they can in their life-time. This is the reason why they move and travel to new countries to experience new things in life.
When people are getting ready for travelling, the first thing that would come in their minds is that they are going to have a lot of fun added with thrill. There won’t be any sort of hassles involved in their journey and at that stage of their life, and they would enjoy it to their fullest. Alas! The things we think or expect sometimes turn out to be purely opposite. There is a time when we would encounter a lot of serious problems when it comes to travelling. Everyone hopes that travelling to foreign nations would go smoothly, but when we travel and go to visit different nations, there are a lot of problems which we have to face and come across. When this situation arises, it is very unfortunate and tough for the people to deal with them. So, here are some common problems that may come in our way when we are travelling to foreign countries. They are listed below as follows:
Losing your Luggage
Luggage is the most important thing and without which a person won’t be able to survive in a foreign country. It would be a huge problem when a person reaches his or her final destination without the presence of their luggage. It is only with the belongings that a person can enjoy the trip, or else it would totally be ruined. There are few suggestions through which you can counter this problem. The first and the foremost thing which a person should do are to put all the important identity cards separately and carry them in their side bags. The other thing that should be kept in the minds is that your luggage should have proper name tags; as if the luggage by mistake gets lost then it can be found as you already have put all your important details on your luggage.
Feeling Homesick
People generally never confess this thing, but when they are crossing the boundaries between two nations, they actually start missing their families. Missing you small brother/sister, the food that mom makes, the smile of your dad etc can really make you go homesick. But don’t worry! This is normal, but don’t let this feeling ruin your trip to abroad. The best way to deal with it is to divert your mind by joining different clubs or the person can even call its family members and have a long talk, as this would refresh his or her mind and would really feed one when they feel homesick.
Bad Weather
A person cannot do anything when it comes to the ultimate weather. A bad weather can actually be a big turn off for the travellers who are travelling to different countries. A proper good weather is something which a person desires for and would be ideal enough for the main purpose of travelling. It is advised that the person should pack their bags accordingly and should not forget to check the weather forecast before leaving. One should always have backups if this kind of situation arises, or else one would be very disappointed.
Losing the Path
People take steps to avoid getting lost when they are travelling to different countries. Keeping maps of all the locations and destinations which they are about to travel or even memorizing the names of the streets can put you in bad pity situation, which is when the person feels LOST. Firstly, stay calm enough and don’t panic at all. Yes! Most of the people would freak out at this very situation and it is very normal. One would be confident enough as they will get over it; all it requires is patience level.
Missing Passport or Money
This is the worst problem through which a person has to deal with when it comes to travelling to a new and different country. Losing up your wallet or the passport can be a huge loss for the owner. Identity cards are something with the help of which a person gets identified when they are in a foreign country, and this problem would make person stranded in a new country. To cope with it, one must keep photocopies separately in their side bags. When the money is lost, one cannot do anything as everything would pause for that very person. While travelling to foreign countries, one should never ever keep all the money at one specific place. Try and divide money in small parts and put that in different bags or pockets.
Whatever happens, there are many reasons behind them. One should always have a positive attitude towards life. Things may fall apart, one may even get fully lost or many other sad and stressful problems may come in the path. At the end, one would get over it as that situation would be totally adventurous and turn out the best in you. The person would feel proud of themselves as they would cross these minor barriers in life and would become much more confident and independent traveller.
