Going travelling? Read our tips and you should fit right in.

Travelling can be lonely, so pack some favourite photos or music. You ought to plan to keep in touch with friends and family regularly too.

You can't learn everything about where you're visiting, but you may find it helps to read about the history and culture - especially in regards to local customs, so you understand what you're supposed to do (and what you're not supposed to do) in different circumstances.

Explore the shops and restaurants and try the local food - you might love it!

You don't have to be fluent but you must try to learn some key phrases or do a language course before you go. You'll be able to find a wide variety of online language courses so there must be one in the language you need.

You mustn't disregard local laws and regulations. Make sure to abide by them.
