Be prepared to dress appropriately, remove your shoes or not enter certain places of worship. Be mindful of taking photos, before you start clicking away on any device, be aware of your what images you’re taking, If you’re taking photographs of people always ask for their permission first, if they decline then respect their wishes. In most locations it is also illegal to photo military bases and some places of worship. Learn the correct etiquette required at your place of destination, are you obligated to tip at restaurants, are there certain situations on public transport you’re not meant to talk on your phone.
