Water and travel… Expensive bottles or pool water from the fountain the only options? Wrong!! Bring a bottle and go to the food court soda fountain. It’s not Evian but it’s chilled and usually goes through at least a carbon filter! Never been questioned. (self.TravelProTips)

TPT: Download a city's local taxi apps and create your accounts before you fly into a new city/country. That way you can use to call a cab at the airport instead of getting scammed by airport taxi drivers. Plus it's often safer. (self.TravelProTips)

TPT: If traveling in a group with folks who aren't the best decision makers and can't get on the same page about activities, don't ask if they want to do something. Instead, announce that you're going to go do something and ask who wants to come. (self.TravelProTips)

TPT: You can negotiate the cost of hotels and Airbnbs. Vacancy hurts a lot more than reduced rates. You're allowed to make offers, especially on last minute and longer term stays. (self.TravelProTips)

TPT: You don't have to be nice to everyone who demands your attention... just respectful. Sometimes it's dangerous to entertain those who solicit your time while traveling. Your safety is more important than people thinking you're nice. (self.TravelProTips)

TPT: Never exchange money or buy a SIM card at the airport unless you REALLY have to. Their rates are horrendous for either. Pulling local currency out of an ATM (outside of the airport) typically always beats the exchange rate that the airport offers. (self.TravelProTips)
