What to do and not to do when traveling in unfamiliar grounds

Have you experienced getting lost? Missing your flight schedule? Missing your place of destination?

Me? Yes i have! A number of times already.

Here is what is learned during those times.

1. Travel light when treading unfamiliar grounds.

It is so inconvenient to get lost with heavy things on your shoulders. The weight of your things adds to your annoyance and worries.

2. Do not panic. Stay calm.

When you are lost and you get panicked, the more that you will get lost. Your focus is on you being lost. Your effort should be on trying to analyze where you are..

3. Do not just ask anybody. Ask a police or somebody in uniform.

If you can find someone in uniform like a police or a teacher, it is much better to ask them and not the jeepney drivers. Some will try to convince you to just hire them for a fee. “Special trip”.

4. If you travel alone, make sure your cellphone has extra load and fully charged.

It makes you feel a little more confident and at ease if you know some of your friends and family are just a text and call away. Imagined being lost and not being able to call and text someone to ask for help and direction.

5. Pray for guidance and pray for wisdom.

Work like everything depends on you and pray like everything depends on God.
