In keeping with our travel theme, and with the memories of my Central America trip still fresh in my mind (more posts to come), this is a great time to share some things that travellers should keep in mind when exploring faraway lands. The list is courtesy of Chris.
1. Thou shalt not expect to find things as they are at home for thou hath left home to find different things.
2. Thou shalt not take things too seriously, for a carefree mind is the beginning of a carefree holiday.
3. Thou shalt not let other travellers get on thy nerves, as we are all here for the same reason and thou art paying good money to enjoy thyself.
4. Thou must know at all times where thy passport lies, for a person without a passport is a person without a country.
5. Thou shalt not worry for he that worries hath no pleasure. Few things are ever fatal.
6. Remember that thou art a guest in other lands, and he that treats his host with respect shall in turn be respected. To learn to say "Please" and "Thank You" in thy host's tongue will make thee thy host's friend.
7. Thou shalt not judge the entire people of a country by one person who was a poor host.
8. Thou shalt remember that to err is human and to forgive is divine.
9. When in Rome, thou shalt be prepared to do as the Romans do.
10. Thou shalt reward good service if thou art lucky enough to receive it!

Do you ever dream about traveling full-time? Getting a job you can do from
the road, and then never getting off the road? Maybe it’s time to join the
legio...
