Pre-Departure Travel with Airhub Language, Culture, and Learning
Welcome to the Airhub trip series!
We'll go over every phase of the travel adventure in this series of long-form posts, getting you ready for your next trip.
Whether it's your first trip or your hundredth, we strive to provide you with some insight into the dos and don'ts of travel.
Today's travel plans include the following:
Understanding the Language
When you want to travel overseas, learning the local language is one of the most important things you can do to make your life easier.
Here are some recommendations to help you adjust when you arrive in the majority of countries you want to visit that do not speak your native language:
Is this a solo trip?
We understand how hard learning a new language can be. However, there may be a chance for you to share that burden.
Consider who will accompany you on this journey. You can explain your degree of comfort and ask for their assistance in learning the language if you're travelling with a partner, spouse, parent, guardian, friend, or another family member.
Determine who is more at ease in the other language among yourself, your family, and your friends. Whoever is more fluent should be in charge of the following:
- Insurance policies for travel
- Certificate of vaccination (s)
- boarding ticket (es)
- Checking into your hotel room
- Getting in touch with customs and filling out customs forms
Climate & Weather
Understanding the temperature and climate of the destination you're visiting, as well as the time of year and position in the world, will help you determine the proper apparel and travel requirements.
Is my destination in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere?
The first question you should ask is where the country is located in the hemisphere.
Did you know that seasons in the Northern Hemisphere occur at the same time as seasons in the Southern Hemisphere?
Winter in the United States, for example, corresponds to Summer in Australia. This is just the beginning. Take some time to read about the climate and weather patterns of the place once you've figured out what season the country is in.
Consider the following scenario:
- Is the location prone to droughts or wet/rainy seasons?
- Is there a risk of earthquakes, storms, or tsunamis in the country?
- Will I spend a lot of time outside?
- Is it going to be sunny?
You can then design your wardrobe accordingly.
Other essentials to have on hand in case of an emergency
We'll go into packing in greater detail later in this series, but here's a brief rundown of additional necessary travel goods to bring along:
- Headphones with noise cancellation
- Balm for the lips
- Hand sanitizer is a product that is used to disinfect the hands.
- Charger on the go
- Battery that can be taken anywhere
- Cushion for planes
- Bottle that can be reused
Norms of Culture
It's now time to look into the location. It's tough to make cultural observations while keeping our list universally applicable. Each country's visa procedures, laws, food, and customs are unique. Instead, we'll concentrate on questions you can anticipate before you arrive at your location.
To begin with:
What is the city's size?
The size of the city will impact the type of experience you'll have, albeit this may vary from place to place. A large city, for example, will have:
- People who are multilingual
- Various backdrops
- A greater number of cultural and artistic places
More ridesharing and public transportation choices Smaller cities, on the other hand, maybe more reserved and less accessible to tourists. However, the experience may be more representative of how natives view the country.
What kind of amenities can I expect where I'll be staying?
Before going, make a note of the current state of the place. Water, plumbing, and heating may not be readily available in some nations. Options to these solutions may exist in some regions, or temporary alternatives may be available.
Make yourself conscious of what the day-to-day cons are, whatever the case may be.
