Intro:

So when I first started traveling back in 2010 I made a lot of mistakes a lot
of rookie mistake. so hopefully in this video you will learn from my mistakes. So these are my
rookie travel mistakes for you guys and gals not to make when you are starting
on your trips and travels. these are all the mistakes so I personally done and learn from
let's get started. First off packing to much. That is like number one tip that most
people do is they bring too much stuff and then you got to carry all this stuff
with you and you have all this extra stuff that you're not even going to use
or wear and it's just going to weight, weighting you down
Not packing the right shoes. Shoes are so important because you walk a lot when
you travel you do a lot of activities. When you travel to really make sure you
are planning the right shoes you need running shoes you need hiking shoes do
you need like sandals. do you need like evening shoes trust me blisters and sore feet are the bane of
the travelers existence because then you don't want to travel anymore you don't
walk anymore. that would suck it really does suck. Not planning out your laundry days
laundry is a thing not properly planning where you're going to do laundry in your
travels is a big rookie mistake.
