"In the Turks and Caicos, respect the coral reefs. There are sections of coral roped off with signs everywhere telling people not to snorkel there for conservation purposes. I cannot tell you how many times I see hotel employees having to get on a bullhorn to tell snorkelers to get away from the coral, they just kept moving the ropes out of the way to swim over it.

Walk and climb more slowly than usual, take frequent breaks even if you’re not tired, and sip water very frequently." — aditson 9. "Floridian here.

Key West doesn’t have great beaches. It’s a small island with several overcrowded beaches with imported sand. If you want a beach day, go to the Northern Keys.

Watch the sunset in Key West, eat key lime pie, run with feral chickens, stand in line to take your pic at the southernmost point, but IMO, plan your beach day elsewhere." — Britt S 12. "I live in Maine and one big pet peeve among locals is when tourists drive under the speed limit so they can look at the scenery.

People who live here still have to go to work and have appointments. We aren’t all taking a leisurely drive on vacation." — Shelby Odegard-Richards 18.

"I'm from Colombia. Do not talk about Pablo Escobar, narcos, cocaine, etc..

. Believe it or not, cocaine is not a popular drug in Colombia, and we don't like being connected to narcotraffic at all. Colombians have a great sense of humor, but this is the one thing we don't joke about.
