Going to other countries is more than just sightseeing—it’s about meeting people and being cool with how they live. Knowing the right cultural moves can totally change your trip, so here’s a heads-up before you even start packing.
1. Learn a Few Basic Phrases
Just saying hi, thanks, or please in their language can really help. It proves you’re trying, are being polite, and it usually makes people friendlier.
2. Respect Space and How People Act
Some places do handshakes; others do bows or nods. Also, how close people stand varies a lot—like, people in Latin countries might get close, but people in Nordic countries usually want more room
3. Dress Smart
Look up what’s cool to wear there, especially if you’re checking out religious spots. Sometimes you should cover yourself up, and other times, bright clothes mean something special.
4. Watch Your Table Manners
The rules for chopsticks in Japan are different than tipping in the U.S., but table manners are not the same around the world. Knowing this keeps you out of weird situations and is polite.

5. Watch First, Then Do
If you’re not sure how things work—like at markets or on buses or during events—see what the locals do and copy them.
One Last Thing
Being nice translates anywhere. If you’re chill with their culture, you won’t just avoid messing up. You’ll also make your trip way better and more memorable.
