The world is full of charm and danger.Backpackers who like to hang around there are all self-responsibility.In order to enjoy your trip, and above all, to protect your own life, let's collect information.
What information do backpackers need?
Geography: You have to know where you are and where you're going next.
History: If you know what happened in the area long ago and what the meaning of the ruins is, it will be a topic of conversation with the local people, and if you don't know it, the trip will not be interesting.
Politics: It can be dangerous if you don't know what the situation is.War conflicts are out of the question, and it's better to avoid them because the elections are near and turbulent.
Religion: Depending on your religion, there are things you can and can't do, things you can and can't eat, and problems in general life.
Language: What language they speak and what characters they use are the basics of information gathering and communication.Greetings and numbers are checked at least before crossing the border.
Calculations: The first thing to do after entering the country is to obtain, or convert into, the local currency, as it will be switched to another currency at the border.A manetchen (money changer) is waiting for the dazed traveler.If you don't want to lose money, be prepared to calculate it properly.
Health: If you get injured or sick, your journey ends there.Health first.Depending on the country, you may need a negative certificate for yellow fever or AIDS, so be sure to check it out and make necessary preparations such as vaccinations.
Visa: Required for entry into developing countries.Get the most up-to-date local information on where and how to obtain it.Depending on the local situation, it often happens that the visa that was available until yesterday is no longer valid today.
Courage at the end: Go anyway, try.If I sit still, nothing will happen.
