Any veteran traveler has an interesting story to tell about toilet adventures. Mine involves a strange vessel that took me almost an hour for the formulation of strategies in various uncomfortable positions until I finally solved the mystery.

Fortunately, strange toilets are rare. What many travelers are familiar with though is the difficulty of finding a bathroom abroad.

Learning how to find a bathroom is an indispensable international travel tip that must be learned by anybody who aspires to travel. You can only hold your bladder for so long and no doubt we need to pay attention to the sound of your stomach if it is acting up. I will share with you some of the travel tips and tricks I\’ve learned in the search for a toilet quickly and safely.

First, you never go wrong with learning the local term for the toilet. You should know that the ability of others to point you in the right direction is directly proportional to the ability to convey the right question. So arm yourself with the local word for toilet and practice saying it.

Make sure you pronounce it correctly if you do not want to end up chasing after the wrong place. If the word is too difficult to pronounce, ask a local to write it down on a sheet of paper for you. You won\’t have problems to find somebody, and just put a questioning look on your face and you\’ve got it covered.
