I know a lot of travelers have very spontaneous personalities… not me. I have a set of guidelines for travel that I follow. Actually I have guidelines that I follow in almost all the important areas in my life (travel, health, relationships etc) and I believe that most other’s do also – perhaps you call them morals – so I guess these are like my morals for travel.

I treat these guidelines for travel in the same way that I treat all of my guidelines in life. I follow them most of the time, but I do not let them get in the way. Everything is flexible.

I find that having guidelines in life has many benefits, the major ones being:

Increasing efficiency (important when your aim is to minimise work time)Saves money (I budget $50us/day max)Helps with decision making (and therefore problem solving)Keeps me healthyBert’s Personal Guidelines for Travel

The guidelines are broken down into various areas.

Transport

If there is no rush to get from one place to another, never spend over 4 hours on a single journey.

If it is too far to walk take public transport – I very seldom take private transport (such as a taxi).
