Best travellers know that each country has its own traditions and it is very important to be aware and to consider them when you are travelling abroad. Below are some travel mistakes people do abroad. Always remember to research your travel destination before leaving.

France – Don’t talk or ask about money (asking about money is impolite in many countries, especially in France).

Ukraine – Don’t give even number of flowers (in most Slavic countries, people bring even number of flowers to the cemeteries).

New Zeland – Don’t honk otherwise you’ll insult people (honking is often intended to insult another drivers).

Japan – Don’t leave tips (provide the best service is normal in Japan, without waiting for the tips).

Mexico – Don’t get offended at locals’ jokes (they love to make jokes and they are really fun).

Norway – Don’t ask about going to church (this question would be rude to ask cause many Norwegians don’t go to church).

Turkey – Don’t show OK gesture cause it’s very offensive (this is an obscene gesture).

Italy – Don’t order cappuccino in restaurants (course you can do it, but the waiter will be surprised, because Italians drink cappuccino for breakfast).
