She decided to expose classic tourist traps, scams and mistakes that people shouldn’t make when having fun in sun. <\/p>\n

Adventure lover lists six common faux pas that should be avoided when traveling abroad.<\/p>\n

Chloe: “If your holidays are all about resorts and inclusive style, you should listen to me.”<\/p>\n

Ex-holiday representative first spoke about the “unlimited” deals that allow you to drink alcohol as much as possible for three hours. <\/p>\n

Chloe said, “Trust me. They can do it for a good reason.”<\/p>\n

It’s usually because the food is watered down. There are a bunch of garbage in it that can make you sick.<\/p>\n

Next, she took on a more grave tone as she warned parents about a possible danger they may have overlooked when planning a holiday.<\/p>\n

Chloe said: “I’m sure this is a surprise, and in some cases it may be unavoidable. But if possible bring your own crib. <\/p>\n

The majority of times, the hotel-provided mattresses don’t conform to your home country’s safety standards and regulations. <\/p>\n

I have seen children injured or even killed by hotel cots.<\/p>\n

Then she went on to talk about the fine art of bargaining while shopping at tourist attractions. <\/p>\n

The former representative said, “I understand this is obvious. But you’ll be surprised by the number of people who accept the price they have been given.” <\/p>\n

You will be preyed upon as a visitor and they’ll try to get you the most money possible. Always be reasonable when haggling with the seller.<\/p>\n

Chloe stressed that it is equally important to travel with caution and be smart. <\/p>\n

She said: “I would also never skip out on travel insurance.” <\/p>\n

It’s one thing you might not think you need, but you may need it.<\/p>\n

Globetrotter says she has seen “devastating” cases where people are buried in debt due to medical expenses and changes of plans. <\/p>\n

Chloe also shared a second big no-no to her followers. <\/p>\n

She stated: “I’d never leave my children unattended at a resort.” <\/p>\n

We’ve learned a lot from Madeline McCann’s situation, even if the area is gated and enclosed.<\/p>\n

Chloe claimed that she and her parents had spent up to 3 hours searching for their children on occasion. <\/p>\n

She added, “Please keep your eyes on them at all times.”<\/p>\n

In order to conclude her book on how to have a safe holiday, she warned that people should not use electrical equipment from abroad. <\/p>\n

She stated: “Most often, it is only the cheap items like hair straighteners and curlers that are the culprits. <\/p>\n

The power outage in your own country and a country abroad is different.<\/p>\n

You will get electrocuted if the item does not recognize this.<\/p>\n

If you are not sure about the voltage, check your electrical appliances or contact the hotel.<\/p>\n

We previously told how a former\u00a0Club 18-30\u00a0holiday rep claimed the antics on the hit\u00a0ITV2\u00a0show\u00a0Kavos Weekender\u00a0are nothing compared to what they got up to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tom, now 42, who lives in\u00a0Manchester, told Central Recorder he watched the show and “felt like an old man”.<\/p>\n

“I thought, \u2018you don\u2019t know what it was like back in the day – you don\u2019t even know you were born’,” he said. <\/p>\n

The holiday rep, who lived for six month in a Turkish all-inclusive in a hotel resort with a buffet dinner shared her bleak experience.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Sutcliffe, 20, would be fuming when there were no chips at the buffet – but on a good day, she\u2019d have two plates of them.<\/p>\n

This self-described fussy eater also ate the ultimate beige meal of potato wedges, onion rings and chicken nuggets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
