Not Leaving the Hotel or Resort
Please don’t pull a White Lotus and spend every waking moment — including meals — at the hotel or resort. Certainly, many properties around the world play host to some incredible restaurants and offer fascinating cultural experiences, but those should be supplements to getting out and exploring the destination.

Rushing Through Meals
Meals in the United States often feel like a sprint to read the menu, order, eat, pay, and leave. But it’s quite the opposite abroad — especially in Europe — where the entire dining experience is meant to be slower and more pleasurable. Please stop snapping to get the attention of the server and demanding the bill the moment you put down the fork.
