11 Common Things That Can Unexpectedly Ruin Your Own Vacation Abroad

5. Italy - Don't wear flip flops.

Sandals and flip-flops are prohibited on the Italian island of Capri, as beach shoes are noisy and disruptive to traffic.

6. Colombia – Do not use Uber services.

In Colombia, the use of unofficial taxi services such as the Uber app is not permitted. Always choose a seat in the front, close to the driver, to give the impression that you are not taking an unlicensed taxi. If you sit in the back seat, you may get pulled over by a police officer. The driver may only have to pay a $39 fee, but they risk having their car impounded.
