The travel etiquette guide that teaches you the local customs no guidebook covers - across 18 countries.

Guidebooks tell you what to see. Don't Be That Tourist tells you how to behave. It's the cultural etiquette handbook for travelers who want to connect with locals, avoid embarrassing cultural faux pas, and move through a foreign country with quiet confidence rather than standing out as a clueless visitor.

Written like advice from a friend who actually lives there, each chapter decodes the everyday social code of a country - what's polite, what's rude, and what will expose you as a tourist before you finish your first sentence.
Inside, you'll learn things like:

  • the "Bonjour" rule that changes every interaction in France;
  • why you never order a cappuccino after a meal in Italy;
  • the two-handed giving and pouring etiquette of South Korea;
  • why you must never tip in Japan - and always tip in the United States;
  • the right-hand rule for eating and greeting across India, the UAE, and Morocco;
  • and the single "cardinal sin" most likely to offend a host in each country.
Every one of the 18 country chapters follows the same easy-to-scan format - First Impressions, At the Table, Money Matters, Dress, Conversation, Body Language, local quirks, the Cardinal Sins, and a one-page Blend-In Cheat Sheet - so you can flip straight to the country you need and find the exact section that matters.

You'll also get quick-reference tools for any trip:
  • a cross-cultural Gesture Glossary;
  • a per-country Pocket Phrasebook;
  • a Tipping Chart;
  • a Dress-Code Reference;
  • and a searchable Faux-Pas Index.

Covering France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Russia, the United States, Canada, Japan, China, South Korea, Thailand, India, the UAE, Turkey, Morocco, Brazil, Mexico, and Australia, this is the international etiquette and customs guide for first-time travelers, frequent flyers, study-abroad students, expats, and global business travelers alike.

Drawing on more than thirty years and thirty countries of travel - and a great many honest mistakes - Samuel Glover turns hard-won cultural know-how into a warm, witty, genuinely useful companion. Whether you're planning a single trip or a round-the-world adventure, learn the manners that don't fit in a suitcase.

Don't just visit. Belong.
