Bring a reusable water bottle with a filter. Drink 8oz every hour of flight time to combat jet lag and dehydration.

Carry hand sanitizer and wash hands frequently. Avoid touching your face, especially in airports and on planes.
Master "hello," "thank you," "please," and "excuse me" in the local language. Locals appreciate the effort and respond warmly.
Always ask permission before photographing people, especially in religious sites or traditional communities. Respect privacy and customs.
Tipping varies wildly by country. What's generous in one place might be insulting in another. Research local customs beforehand.
