What You Should Never Do Abroad (Americans Keep Ignoring This)

What should you never do abroad? After 21 years living overseas and traveling through more than 60 countries, I have seen Americans repeat the same mistakes again and again. Some will drain your wallet, others will embarrass you in front of locals, and one nearly left me stranded at an airport with no flight home. In this video I break down the most common mistakes Americans make when traveling abroad and what to do instead. From only visiting big cities and overpacking, to tipping the wrong way, paying in dollars instead of local currency, or assuming Uber works everywhere, these blunders can ruin a trip. I also share how ignoring dress codes, over scheduling every day, or not checking visa rules properly leads to stress and unnecessary costs. Stick around for the stories from Rome, Tel Aviv, and China that reveal just how easily these mistakes happen in real life. With a few small changes, you can travel smarter, save money, and enjoy authentic experiences without the headaches. ✈️ My travel e-guides: https://bit.ly/47w8ciN 📧 Newsletter Join my newsletter email list for free travel tips, hacks, and exclusive content. https://gregor-brown.kit.com/53b0eef2d7 👉Ways you can support me: ⭐Join my Patron Inner Circle https://www.patreon.com/c/gregorbrown/membership 🙋🏻Join The Global Insiders for direct travel help and free guides. https://www.patreon.com/c/gregorbrown/membership 📺Watch the next unreleased video by becoming a channel member https://www.youtube.com/@GregorBrown/join 👍 Or simply just give a thumbs up, that's free and much appreciated, too. 🙏And please subscribe for all the latest videos https://www.youtube.com/@GregorBrown?sub_confirmation=1 ✈️ My travel medical insurance recommendation 🩺 https://bit.ly/42FeDx0 ⚙ Gear I use for travel: Plug adaptor: https://amzn.to/3HeyMAr Power strip (plug into an adaptor): https://amzn.to/3JefEVP Portable USB Charger (a must!): https://amzn.to/3kzrZcM Sleep eye mask: https://amzn.to/3IS7u4n Ear plugs for sleeping: https://amzn.to/3IMOUuu Toiletry Kit bag (I got the camo one): https://amzn.to/3Z2AM6B Travel Bottles for Toiletries: https://amzn.to/3xT3WZN ...or get clear refillable ones: https://amzn.to/3ktjEHU Samsonite hard shell luggage: https://amzn.to/404ZlRa Rimowa Essential Cabin Luggage: https://amzn.to/3b1v94l (If you buy using this links above, I receive a commission via the Amazon Affiliate Program.)
