Cultural Etiquette and Practices to Know Before Travelling Abroad...

As an experienced travel consultant, one of my joys is preparing clients for culturally immersive and respectful journeys.

Understanding local customs and etiquette not only enriches your travel experience but also shows respect to the host culture.

💡Here are a few tips that I’ve learned along the way.

✔ Respect Local Traditions: Learn basic phrases in the local language—it’s a simple gesture that goes a long way. Dress appropriately, respecting local customs and religious practices. For example, in many temples, covering your shoulders and knees is essential.

✔ Dining Etiquette: Each culture has unique dining customs. In Japan, it’s customary to say “Itadakimasu” before eating and to avoid sticking chopsticks upright in your bowl. In Italy, savour your meals and avoid rushing, as dining is a leisurely, social activity.

✔ Behavioural Norms: Understand local norms around behaviour. For instance, in some Middle Eastern countries, public displays of affection are frowned upon. In Thailand, showing respect by not pointing your feet at people or religious objects is important.

✔ Gift Giving: In some cultures, gift-giving is a significant part of social interactions. In Japan for example, the presentation of the gift is just as important as the gift itself. In India, avoid giving white flowers, as they are typically used in funerals.

✔ Photography Etiquette: Always ask permission before taking photos of people, especially in more private or sacred settings. Some cultures find it intrusive, while others may have specific rules about photography.

✔ Local Laws and Customs: Be aware of local laws and customs. For example, chewing gum is illegal in Singapore, and failing to adhere to this can result in fines. Understanding these laws can prevent unintentional disrespect or legal issues.

Personalised Guidance

As your travel consultant, I offer detailed insights into local customs and etiquette, ensuring you're well-prepared for your trip.

Whilst the tents you’ll find at the camps in Africa are far more substantial and luxurious than the type you’d pitch in a field in Cornwall, staying in a tent may not be to everyone’s taste!

The lodges across Africa’s parks and reserves are a unique way to immerse yourself in the bush. Lodges are often larger more hotel-like properties, mainly constructed from wood and stone.

Plan ahead with this show-stopping Thailand beach stay combined with the 2-night Jungle Lake Safari at Elephant Hills in the Khao Sok National Park.

Begin with a 10-night stay at The Sands Khao Lak. Fringed by warm golden sands and enveloped by coconut groves, The Sands Khao Lak is a welcoming and spacious beach resort with a warm, friendly atmosphere. With the shops of Khao Lak right on its doorstep, this is the ideal location for couples and families to enjoy beach life and be immersed in local culture. There is a kids' club and water splash park here as well, always a hit with the younger travellers. Whilst at The Sands Resort, adults will receive a complimentary 30-minute Thai Couples Massage.

Finish off with a jaw-dropping experience in the wilds of the Khao Sok National Park, the two-night Jungle Lake Safari. Staying in a luxurious safari tent (complete with full bathroom, no less) your first night at the jungle camp is packed with activities. Jump in a kayak as a guide takes you down the Sok River, looking for local wildlife. Head through the stunning countryside en-route to the Elephant Sanctuary where you will experience the gentle giants in a hands-off style and learn all about them form the people that care for them.

Your second night at the camp takes you on a long tail boat ride to the Lake Camp, safari tents, similar to the Jungle Camp, positioned on pontoons in the wilderness. After lunch, head out with an experienced and knowledgeable guide and ranger to explore the mystery of the surrounding jungle on foot. As the day ends, watch the sun set behind the limestone peaks or jump in the lake for a pre-dinner dip.

𝑺𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒊 𝒊𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆: 𝑪𝒂𝒎𝒑𝒔

Ask anyone who has been on safari for their highlights and where they stayed often comes near the top of the list. We stayed at Little Govenors on the Masai Mara and the memories are so clear, I can put myself back there in a heartbeat!

The camps in Africa’s parks and reserves are different from anywhere else you might stay around the globe. More than simply a place to rest your head, safari accommodation is an immersive experience itself — a place where you can wake up to a symphony of animal calls in the morning and gaze across the starlit savanna at night as you dine by the campfire.

It's been a while since I went on Safari, so I was delighted to be invited to Audley's lovely offices in Oxfordshire for a BBQ and to meet some of their Safari suppliers to learn about the best destinations and stays in Africa.

Whether you're looking for your first Safari or wanting to go back to see the animals you missed, I'm all clued up to help you plan your perfect escape.

Lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and Cape buffalo — the Big Five are among the most sought-after animals to encounter on an African safari. While some are widespread, others, such as rhino, are dwindling in number and often require local know-how to find (along with a pinch of good luck).

𝗠𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸!

In 2008, I accepted the challenge to try and win a wedding for my stepdaughter.

Her fiancee, Dave, and I got through 2 rounds into the final and, knowing the way this worked from previous competitions, I put together a tome of all things travel by plane, train, coach, ferry and anything else I could think of!

16 years ago today, we headed to Gatwick, not knowing what the rules would be and at 8am we were told to get as far away as possible in 24 hours, with a chaperone, no payment cards or phones and a £10 note … and we weren’t allowed to travel from any London airport.

We managed to blag our way to Abu Dhabi .. and won!

I still have my little red book … maybe I should have realised then that I was destined to become a travel agent 12 years later!

I was introduced to Sarah in 2021 when she asked if I could help her plan her honeymoon. They had an amazing time in Mauritius … and we’ve been firm friends ever since!

From then, I’ve been looking after all her holidays – most have been to Disneyland Paris with her husband Craig and their two gorgeous boys, Cody and Felix.

Sarah recently started an Instagram page where she shares her DLP experiences and invited me to follow her. I was so impressed with her in-depth knowledge (what she doesn’t know about DLP, you can write on a postage stamp!) and really useful tips … even where to buy bespoke ears!

The page is inspirational, informative and easy to navigate - I was blown away. So much so, Sarah has become my Partner in Travel for all things Disney!

She invites her followers to share their experiences and ask any questions, not just about DLP but also Disneyworld in Florida and Disney California. She’s off to the latter in 2025 and planning her first trip to Tokyo Disney Resort in 2026!

Whether you’re a Disney aficionado or are thinking of visiting for the first time, click on the link below to take a look at Sarah’s page and follow her - there is much more to come - and when you’re looking to book your next Disney adventure, get in touch with either of us.

You can be confident that you have the best dream team looking after you!

Last weekend, I had a group of 21 travelling to Ibiza for 3 nights, for a corporate reward trip, with 16 of them taking an early morning flight from Gatwick. As I sat down with my morning cuppa, a message flashed up on my phone saying that they had got to check-in, only to be told that their 9:50 flight had been cancelled and they were re-booked on the same flight the next morning.

After a few calls with the tour operator (and a few strings pulled!) we gave them the option of a direct Gatwick flight that would get them to Ibiza at midnight or an indirect flight from Heathrow (with a transfer) that would arrive early evening … which they chose.

The next morning, another of the group was joining them from Copenhagen via Barcelona but major storms in northern Spain meant big delays and a cancellation to his onward flight. As he’d booked his own flight, I couldn’t do anything but keep track of his flight and the remaining onward flights, whilst he was airborne and advise him of his options when he landed.

Fortunately, his flight docked almost next to the gate for an alternative onward flight which was leaving in 30 minutes … and, with my advice, he managed to get onboard.

9 out of 10 times, travel goes without a hitch - but the one time it does, it’s always good to have a direct line to someone who can help!

⛔ 100ML LIQUID RULE SCRAPPED! 💦

As of today, you can say goodbye to 100ml liquid limits and plastic bags in airport security at four UK airports…

It’s all because of high-tech scanners that are going live across airports in the UK. Experts reckon the new rules could save you an average of 30 minutes in airport queues. Happy days!

Current Rules:
- No liquids over 100ml in hand luggage
- All liquids in clear plastic bag (20cmx20cm)
- Electronics taken out of your bag

New Rules:
- Up to 2 litres of liquid in hand luggage
- Liquids no longer needed in clear plastic bag
- Electronics can stay in your hand luggage

Which UK airports?
As of today, these new rules go live at:
- Birmingham
- London City
- Newcastle
- Teeside

Other UK airports are expected to follow suit in the next 12 months, but no dates are set for these other airports just yet. Just remember that the airport you’re returning from may not have the same rule just yet…
