Australians love to travel, with millions of Aussies heading overseas every year. Travelling is often about letting your hair down and relaxing. But don't leave your manners and common sense at home when you get on the plane.

Travel is a great way to immerse yourself in new cultural experiences. Many cultures are very different from what you'll be used to in Australia, and some differences may be confronting. Don't dismiss or mock local practices because they're unfamiliar or you disagree with them.

Local temples and cultural sites may be a fun day out for you, but these places aren't just tourist destinations. They often hold deep significance for the local people. Be respectful and follow the lead of locals.

Understand that expectations of behaviour and clothing can vary widely between countries. Make an effort to adjust what you do accordingly. Remember that you're a guest in someone else's home, and badly behaving guests can be asked to leave. Many countries will cancel your visa if your behaviour is considered offensive or disruptive to the locals.
