  1. Take time to research the cultural norms and etiquette of your destination. If you are unsure, observe how the locals act first, or simply ask politely.
    Fun fact: In contrast to many other countries, eating with hands is seen as distasteful in Brazil, signalling poor dining etiquette.
  2. Research and be aware of the regulations in place of your destination.
    Fun fact: In Portofino, one can be fined up to $400 for lingering too long at the quay for a picture, as it causes overcrowded streets and traffic jams.
  3. Be informed on the cultural traditions and customs followed during special occasions.
