Thou shalt not expect to find all things precisely as they were at home, for thou hast left home to find things different.&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Differences are for celebrating, not lamenting! You may sacrifice a bit of (what you perceive as) comfort at times, but it&#8217;s usually well worth it.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>2. Thou shalt not take anything too seriously, for a carefree mind is the cornerstone of a good trip.<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fret about the details, and you&#8217;ll miss the big picture \u2013 and for me, perspective on the big picture is at least part of the point of traveling to begin with.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I recently read that \u201cone minute of anger weakens your immune system for 4-5 hours. One minute of laughter boosts your immune system for over 24 hours\u201d. Biology has spoken: laugh a little.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>3. Thou shalt not let other travelers get on thy nerves, for thou art paying good money to enjoy thyself.&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a good rule for life. Other people are designed to piss you off! It&#8217;s how you choose to react that makes all the difference. I learned about that during my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/learning-ayahuasca-and-san-pedro-shaman\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shamanic apprenticeship in Peru<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where I learned some extremely valuable life lessons that made me more compassionate and easy-going on the whole.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Cliffs-of-Moher-in-Ireland-where-I-got-the-Travelers-Ten-Commandments.jpg\" alt=\"Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, where I got the Travelers Ten Commandments\" class=\"wp-image-12435\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br \/><b>4. Thou shalt not worry, for he who worrieth hath little joy.&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also a good rule for life. There are so many things you can worry about while traveling \u2013 it&#8217;s almost endless! But worrying accomplishes very little except the development of ulcers. Surrendering to your circumstances (be it a delayed flight or a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/saga-10000-passport\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lost passport<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is the best solution.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it&#8217;s finances that have you worried, perhaps you&#8217;ll resonate with the advice of a colleague of mine, who says he never frets any expense under $10. While I&#8217;ll admit that wantonly spending $7 here and $5 there will add up pretty quickly, I also agree that desperately haggling something down or sacrificing a nicer meal costing $15 for a crappy meal costing $7 is not time or energy well spent.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>5. Thou shalt not judge all people of a country by one person with whom thou hast had a problem.&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a common problem in the travel world. People paint with broad strokes about entire nationalities based on a bad experience with a few representatives of that country&#8230;.for example if those representatives are awake (and drunk) at 3am in a hostel dorm room, repacking their luggage and rustling plastic bags like a baby with a rattle. Not that I&#8217;ve ever had that experience, nooooo&#8230;..<\/span><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>6. Blessed are they who can wait and smile, for they shall enjoy themselves.&nbsp;<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patience is the biggest lesson I&#8217;ve learned since I left Canada in 2007. Not only might that bus you&#8217;re waiting for be late, but it might never come. Best to enjoy yourself in the meantime instead of fretting about the bus. This is travel in all its splendour; get used to it. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(See also: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-very-fast-train-is-1-hour-late-and-other-ukrainian-paradoxical-experiences\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Very-Fast Train is 1 Hour Late \u2013 and Other Ukrainian Paradoxical Experiences<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>7.

While the legality of this strategy is debatable (technically you are required to have your passport with you at all times), I won&#8217;t be jailed for having only a passport copy with me, but I could end up in some serious doo-doo if it&#8217;s stolen abroad.
