Budget Travel recently asked its readers to submit the worst travel advice they’ve ever received.  The interesting submissions ranged from “take traveler’s checks with you” to “skip the Eiffel Tower in Paris.”  From personal experience, however, I wouldn’t characterize “don’t eat the street food” as advice that is bad, just cautious.  As with all opinions, they must be coupled with common sense – and research.  I can’t remember ever receiving travel advice that could be described as bad;  though a trip or two would have been better if I had heeded some good advice (don’t go to Disney the day after Christmas!!).  Many times, however, less than perfect undertakings can make one a well-seasoned traveler and make great learning experiences!  To read other bad advice that travelers have received visit Budget Travel’s blog.
