I love to travel, I could do it my whole life. I learned it's my passion after I started my studies at the University and did a first trip truly on my own. What I liked very much, is that traveling widens your perspective. Travelling teaches you some more or less valuable lessons. Of course, It won't teach something everybody - going to a 4-star hotel with an organized trip won't do much good (sorry, travel business! you're useless).
"live out of a suitcase" - to stay very briefly in several places, never unpacking one's luggage.
according to Oxford Dictionaries, to "live out of a suitcase" is to "live or stay somewhere on a temporary basis and with only a limited selection of one's belongings".
It hurts me a lot when travelers or foreigners are being attacked because of their nationality, race, religion, social status, etc. Moreover, if you wish to be treated well abroad, please always intervene when somebody attacks a foreigner in your own country. We're leaving in a global village - planet Earth - and karma goes back easily. There are also cases when travelers or tourists are seen as "walking wallets" - locals refuse to understand that many people save money through the year just to afford 1 trip abroad.

On the other hand, it's important to share. Try to leave some tips as this boosts the economy of country you're visiting. For your safety, use Uber instead of taxis. And install Revolut app - it will save you lot of money on currency exchange rates.
Take photos. Lots of photos, as this is the best souvenir you'll have - better than piece of plastic made in China (supposed to be a local product).
Let's say you saved some small money and you're ready to travel. What now?
Chose some exotic location, more farther, the better.
Avoid big cities or country capitals. Visit rural areas.
Use couchsurfing, or at least hostels.
Attend couchsurfing events, language exchanges and tandems.
Forget most of the things you know, as you're mostly wrong.
Do networking. Add people you've met to Facebook, CouchSurfing, Vkontakte, etc.
I'll write more in the next part :) - I just need to know if this topic is interesting enough for steemit.
