Setting an unrealistically high schedule

Instead, Be adaptable; don't be scared to adjust your plans due to inclement weather or a lack of funds. Keep track of how long it takes to get from one point to another not by distance, but by travel method: car, bus, train, etc.
Allow extra time for probable delays as well as additional relaxation time. Remember that you don't have to tour the entire country in one trip; doing so would make you feel unsatisfied.

Excessive packing

Only bring what you know you'll need, not what you believe you'll need. Purchase the remaining items at your destination, potentially for a lower price. Once you've finished packing, go through everything you have and see if there's anything else you can do to lighten the load. To avoid carrying that additional weight, check out these 15 things you don't need to bring.

Forgetting to keep track of the budget and running out of cash

Your budget should be viewed as a tool to let you experience the location more creatively and genuinely, rather than as a constraint. Make a budget that you can stick to and provide some wiggle space for unexpected expenses.  If you're going to be gone for a long time, set up weekly transfers from your savings to your checking account like a paycheck so you know exactly how much you may spend.

Not double-checking your paperwork and reservations for mistakes

Check all of your documentation and reservations, including hotels, flights, trains, and buses. Always double-check the time and place to ensure that they are correct. Check that your name is spelt correctly on your flight reservation as well.

Keeping to the tourist route

Dare to go beyond what is normally done and observed. Don't just copy what others have done; create your own unique experiences.
Off the beaten road is where you'll find the best experiences and biggest opportunities.

Being insensitive to cultural differences

Make an effort to learn about the culture and environment in which you are visiting. Keeping an open mind will help you fit in better, enjoy and absorb the culture in a more engaging way, and avoid accidentally offending people.

Ignoring the advise of locals

Pay attention to what the locals have to say; analyse and assess their suggestions. Who knows, maybe their advice can help you avoid being robbed or save a few bucks in between.

Getting enraged towards a foreign nation

Consider it part of your experience and learn from it, even if you had a bad time and were not treated as you expected. Sure, vent your frustrations if necessary, but keep in mind that you are a visitor to that nation. Just because they don't do things the way you do doesn't mean they're doing them incorrectly. Patience and tolerance should be maintained.

Expectations that are unreasonable

Go with the flow if things don't go as planned. Have a realistic belief about your vacation and don't expect it to be flawless.
Better yet, don't project an image of expectation; instead, enter with an open mind that will allow you to accept things as they are.
Don't be dismayed if you fall prey to any of these blunders. Continue to enjoy your wanderings and use them as a learning opportunity.

Pickpockets are enticed by showy objects

Use caution and avoid exposing your valuables. In fact, don't wear them if you don't need them. DSLR cameras, laptops, and other high-value items should be kept hidden in a closed bag and used only when absolutely essential.
