What Is Being Demure During Travel?
Jools touches on specific ways she can be “mindful, classy, respectful, and very sweetsy” during a recent trip. Travelers looking for guidance as they go abroad can use this word in many different ways in their lives. There are a few ways to start a demure fall vacation, even before or during travel. For one, a basic way to be demure and mindful is to send the deposit or funds on time for the group trip. Helping the trip make it out of the group chat is very demure. Another way is to be mindful of personal space. Hogging the leg or arm room on the plane or while on an airport shuttle is not demure or sweetsy.
While there are a great many ways to live the demure and avid traveler lifestyle at the same time, how to do that depends on the person. A sure-fire way to pinpoint ways to be demure is to avoid doing the things that other people do to annoy you while you are traveling. It’s all about putting in a little effort so that other travelers around you can also do their best to remain respectful.
