Keep your planning to a minimum so you can go with the flow and follow local recommendations. You might have thought you were going to spend a week in a city, only to find you want to spend five days of those seven in a smaller city in the countryside that a local recommended instead. Minimizing previous plans helps you be able to go where fancy takes you! Sometimes, this type of spontaneity can be expensive. If you want a cheaper trip, nail down travel and hotel dates, but avoid planning things like tours or excursions, so you can follow local recommendations once you get there! Plans are for tourists, change of plans are for travelers. " If you run into misfortune on the road, or if you make a new friend that's local to the area, they might invite you to do something with them. It can be as simple as dinner or as complex as travelling somewhere else, but, if the offer sounds exciting, say "Yes!" Not only will this give you a more authentic experience, but you might just stumble upon the trip of your life. Never go with someone if they're making you feel uncomfortable. Trust your instincts. If you feel unsafe, excuse yourself (even if it's impolite) and find a public place and stay until you can find a friend or police officer. Always tell someone where you're going, especially if you're travelling with a stranger. Even if your new friend hasn't done anything to indicate they might not be trustworthy, you're better safe than sorry! Push yourself outside of your comfort zone by traveling alone and relying only on yourself and the friends you make during your trip. Sometimes, you'll be making temporary friends, otherwise, they might be friends you stay in contact via social media or messaging. But sometimes, travelling alone and meeting someone else in a foreign place leads to a friendship that can last a lifetime.

Article: The faster you get to the wood stain, the more likely it is that you'll be able to remove it. Wash the stained item as soon as you discover the wood stain. If you find the stain and it has already dried, you can still attempt to wash it out. But it might not be as effective. If you rub the stain (especially if it is still wet), you run the risk of making the stain bigger and spreading to other parts of the fabric. Rubbing it can also push the stain deeper into the fibers of the fabric and make it set into the fibers more firmly. If you must rub the stain (in order to clean it, for example), try to rub the stained part of the cloth against itself as best you can, leaving the unstained part alone. If you've got a wood stain on your clothes, you should wear protective gloves as you attempt to remove the stain. This will protect your hands and skin from coming into contact with any potentially harmful stain-removal products. Rubber gloves work best for this kind of protection.
