Everyone travelling at a different rate. What we mean by that is that some like to take it comfortable and calmly feel what they can while others want to see as much as they can in the shortest attainable time and still others are after excitation and tons of adrenaline.
You want to be aware of the type of traveler you are and make sure you plan a vacation and opt travel companions who are of the same mind. Go to the wrong place with the wrong people and it will not be what you had hoped it would be. Can you suppose getting took up in a white water rafting vacation down the Yukon River in mid-winter when all you wanted to do was see local native artifcats and pick out pictures for the bird-watching clubhouse back house?
So if this is your first time traveling then we advise you to take it easy. Take a destination that will help you ease into travel. Take you time in planing a trip that you will enjoy but that will also teach you about travel and what to look from it.
* Be mindful that the biggest conflict in goals is not whether they are from East or West but preferably if they are rich or poor. If you are not ready to face abject poorness and the distraught and psychological impressions it can have on you then be knowing NOT to go somewhere where you may be presented by real poverty - it can be aching! Know yourself and your goal before you go. No amount of money, knowledge, background or forethought can shell you from the impressions of real poverty if you are not used to it.
* Do some initial search before you leave home. There are a grand array of journey guides available. We do not suggest you go and purchase them. What we advise is taking over them from your local library first. Find the one that fits you best (Fodor, Blue Leads, Low Planet, etc.) and the destination you are concerned in (if you don't find the right on in the shelves ask the librarian and they may just get it in for you). Once you know your destination and the guide you like then go and buy it but not before - you will waste a lot of time if you buy before you try.
* In the meaner states you goes through will be more people-centred and in the more moneyed nations more platform oriented. For example: a travel to to Paris will likely go around around places (Museums, Castles and events where there are large groups of non-interacting people) while a travel to India may be more aligned to meeting the people and inspecting rural towns, temples, etc. where you will be with large groups of interacting people.
* Do not bring your social or sacred prejudices with you when you travel! You will be going into cultures that have very different ideas on morals, styles, politics and religion. Be aware that their opinions are as logical as yours; just different. To move another can be taken raw and can even, in the wrong place, be very risky. Listen before you speak.
* Always check out the Travel Alerts that are visible from your governments before selecting a goal.
