I didn't speak a word of English the first time I went to Disney.

At most he knew the basics.”my name is Alyssa”, but I couldn’t bring myself to use that phrase in conversation. Until you ask fast food It was difficult, and more than once a friend of mine had to help me to tell me that my lunch was without salad.

Almost six years passed between this trip and my first work experience interview, and my knowledge of the language improved a lot.

And the coolest thing? I learned by “studying” myself.

I even took a year's course at Yázigi to practice speaking and feel more confident, but I've almost reached the last level.

What really helped me was the internet. Not only because of the enormous amount of material available for free to answer my questions, but because I spent hours reading about my favorite subjects, looking for tutorials and watching videos.

Since that time I have been on exchange to study the language in Australia, where I also took a more advanced class, and I even managed to work in the United States.

English also helps me a lot when traveling internationally, even in countries where it is not the official language. In Thailand, for example, all tours were accompanied by guides who spoke the language.

With that in mind, I decided to write this post with my best tips on where and how to study on your own. If you also want to learn English for travel (or for any other purpose) without following traditional methods, keep reading!

How do you know if the hotel location is reliable?

Have you ever accidentally booked a hotel in the wrong from the city?

I already.

It was in San Francisco, and to this day I have a bad impression of the region because of it.

The employees themselves encouraged us not to explore on foot, and rather use the free van service to the main tourist attractions they offered.

Every time we got into the vehicle to head towards the more upscale neighborhoods, I felt apprehensive. And we were in the United States, a first world country.

Of course, it didn't help that it was cold and windy in the middle of summer, and that everything in the city was extremely expensive. Even so, I know that the feeling of insecurity It's what stopped me from loving San Francisco.

The positive point of this episode is that now I research a lot about the location of the hotels I intend to stay at. I discovered that by adopting some practices, it is possible to find accommodation in safe areas even if I have never visited the city.

In this post I'm going to give you some tips for choosing a hotel in a good region, even if you don't know anything about your destination.
