How to develop travel intuition?
I hear it all the time when I talk with other travelers about getting into sketchy situations. The advice is usually the same: “Just go with your gut.” I sincerely doubt that my intestines ever know what to do.
Here’s what works for me: I slow down.
The bad choices I’ve made while traveling, whether it’s where to go or what to do, were always made quickly. When I slow down and give myself time to think, I invariably make better choices.
It may come across as intuition, but it’s really just taking the time to think the situation through.
