Highlight the main
Imagine that you are going to a country about which you know little and where you have never been. What is important to know first? It is important to understand what the country is known for - nature, cities, beaches, museums, cuisine - and which of these you want to see or try. Think about what you are interested in, try to think beyond the stereotyped idea of the place where you are going. Do you have special interests? Maybe you love a certain cuisine or graffiti and informal culture, are you into a rare sport? It is very convenient to choose the penultimate row: the last row is usually not available
for registration and often left empty.
If you are flying together, then during online check-in, you can try to choose seats in the aisle and by the window, leaving a seat in the middle free. If the plane is not full, then there is a high probability that the seat will remain unoccupied. If the plane is full, then the person who was put in the middle seat will gladly change places, and you will sit next to your fellow traveler.

5. Study photos of other travelers. Photos in tourist communities, Instagram, where it is convenient to find photos by geotags, postcards in kiosks, books and albums about cities and countries, will help you.
6. Have your camera ready.
7. Pay attention to the details of the city and the life of the people in it.

8. Decide what you want to show: yourself or a landmark. The “I’m in the city” genre is interesting, when the photographer seems to be spying on you, and you are busy with your usual business: sitting in a cafe, standing by a picture in a museum, walking down the street.
9. Process photos. Do not be afraid to make photos contrasting, pale or even black and white, do not be afraid to crop, flip frames.
10. Share your pictures!
Independent travel makes us better, expands our horizons and connects the disparate parts into a picture called "The World". Travel is an art. And this book will give you brushes and paints. Create!
