Travel is the best experience one can get, be it any destination, but when it comes to traveling abroad there are many things to take if you are an Indian. Many Indians love to go on world tours and spend their vacation by traveling in business class and stay in those luxurious hotels, but there are many things they do that are actually embarrassing yet they are super hilarious!
Well, an Indian is an Indian after all, even though if you put on these Armani clothing and have that foreign accent you still tend to make a few mistakes while you are traveling abroad. Whether you agree or not, all desi people love to carry some of the amazing things with them, while some love to go and explore the country in their own unique way.
Scroll through 7 absurd things that Indians do when traveling abroad.
1) Carrying one full luggage of readymade food and sweets
Every Indian does that. More than their clothes, you can see suitcases filled with food ranging from spices to readymade food and sweets. They have it all, because they miss Indian food and according to them ‘Indian masala mei he swaad hai’ 😛
2) Stealing shampoo, conditioners, slippers, and bathrobes from hotels
Well, why not take it when you have paid for it?! 😛 This is the Indian mentality, even though they get things for complimentary and for their personal hotel use, you can see them taking shampoos, conditioners and everything that is ‘free’ basically!
3) Search For Indian Restaurants
This is the typical mindset of every desi person, because they simply miss Indian food and according to them other foods are all bland! So, why take a chance. If you are a vegetarian then 100% you will search for Indian names where you can have those delicious paneer tikkas!
4) Converting foreign currency to Indian currency
This is not India guys! Why would you convert everything to your home country currency? It is just a mentality to check if you have spent more than your estimated budget. You are not ‘kanjoos’, you are just being smart and wise.
5) Befriend Any Indian

Because we are comfortable with them and in the end they are our friends! So, why not make Indian friends the moment we come across anyone even if we meet them on the streets. Mingling with Indians has become a habit now! Just remember that there are other people living in that country as well 😛
6) Facebook check-ins for literally every place you go!
Okay, we know that you are traveling abroad and you want to share the excitement, but putting mandatory check-ins on social media will only annoy other people and make them go *face palm*
7) Throwing that fake accent
Dude we are one among you, so why not talk like you?! Indians have this theory of ‘ I can talk English and I can walk English’, so when you come back you have to throw the accent to show other people that yes, I am from abroad dude 😛
