One major reason why foreigners fall sick after eating Street Food is because they eat each and every thing they see on a single day.Even we Indians don't do that. Try to take care about this fact.
One of the biggest mistakes would be not to mingle with the locals.. Lot of tourists just stick together in groups and don't interact with the locals or immerse themselves in the culture. I realize safety is a major concern in india, but the best part about visiting a new country is meeting new people and understanding the culture.
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial if you are still in Bangalore then do visit Hyderabad (rich in food and culture and historic place) would be happy to assist you ☺️
These were the few mistakes especially staying in cheapest hotel and then blaming the country is what I have observed with other vloggers. Many thanks for highlighting them!!!
8:10 some people actually make this mistake and later complaint about it, yes you should never compromise with your accommodation or safety, thanks for mentioning this 😞
I mean okay but is it really normal to call that a mistake of the traveller? People want to book cheaper hotels for a reason, they don't expect luxury, neither do they require it but it's not normal it means it comes at the expanse of their safety. When you book the cheapest shit in other countries the only thing you're compensating is comfort, which is a choice of life.
App for Indian hotel Oyo room Make my trip Goibibo Where These are budget hotels For train IRCTC For travel Uber Ola Keep your GPS location on if something wrong happens you can send sos to friends and they can find you using location tracking apps
And 100 for cops,Cops respond quickly here in South India(I lived in Hyderabad and Bangalore) IDK about North though As North Indian states are not that developed.
@@whatever19997 who told u that North is not developed I know u people hate us cuz u ain't us we never say anything bad about South but u people r always jealous from us idk what's the matter stop mentioning North be happy with your South
I love how respectful you are to the culture and to the people in India! We definitely value such foreigners/ ppl who come to visit & experience this country! 😌🌻
One more point is to not get intimidated by the stares or selfies, most of the time it is just because you guys look so different that people get curious, it's mostly harmless unless you feel the "wrong" kind of stare, be careful then. And it's always safer for female travellers to travel in groups or with a friend. Have a great trip you guys. And use UBER or OLA, both are great.
That's true Ivana. Thanks for sharing your experience and giving some knowledge on how to travel in India for those who are visiting India for the first time. You know what? Being an Indian even I do makes few mistakes while eating fast food and booking hotels when we are visiting new places. Its really helpful for us also. Thanks yo
Hi Ivan Ji, it brought tears in my heart to hear you speak of how little we need to be happy. Thank you for such a beautiful commentary on India. I'm in Malaysia and I love to get lost in South India. Keep the good work going.
Yes!! As you said about Travelling in a luxurious trains is in your bucket list. Then i would recommend you to opt for Maharaja Express a world class luxurious train making you a journey of various important cities known for its heritage like: Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur(Ranthambore Tiger National Park), Agra, Gwalior, and Khajuraho. I would also recommend you to visit A central india tour to Khajuraho and Orcha(Known for its temples, fort, package of experiences village life in India, as well as Luxurious hotels like Amar Mahal) Jhansi is closest city to reach Orcha and Khajuraho. Thanks
yaaass this will be super helpful one day 😍 about the food no problem if I survive eating street food in Mexico I can survive in India hahaha the only problem the spices coz I'm just used to spicy food for different types of chilli at once 🤭🤭 also what you think about airbnb in India? is it good or is better to stay in a hotel?
Whoohooo that would be awesome! Hmm I think hotels and home stays are safer. Air b n b is still too unregulated in India in my opinion (and way more expensive!)
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial oh that's very good to know. I'm used to airbnb here in Mexico coz is cheaper than hotels and a great experience. and I totally forgot about home stays in India, I think thats something I don't wanna miss 🤭. thank you iv
Hi Jazmin, You are more than welcome and you you are going to love the food here. Still just an advise though, its not the food that makes people sick when travelling, its the water. I Fell sick when i went back home. As long as the street food is piping hot and Water is bottled, you will be good to go. If you are worried about the Spicyness of the food, carry some form of Yogurt type drink with you. If you get a Chance, get lassi(even better in the summer) and you'll be sorted. Cheers.
Super super informative 🙂 thanks. My personal add on would be: always carry water bottle,hand sanitizer , wet wipes n mosquito repellent creams. Start vlogging whenever u feel insecure. Share pictures of taxi number plate with ur fam. Keep pepper spray handy while travelling solo😈 read reviews of local on GPS for finding best restaurants n public toilets.
Wow.... Ivana thank you so much for the information you gave. You should start a vlog for foreigners how to travel and other stuff as you are already half Indian.... Go babe 🤘
Great video Ivana... When many foreigners complain about India, this is best video for don'ts.... Thumbs up... From an Indian living in Aussie.... Hope many people get to watch this before they plan their trip...
Hi. This is the first ever comment i am putting on youtube. Its a suggestion actually. If you still haven't experienced the 1st class travel by train (1st A/C compartment) then you should do it in any Rajdhani Express trains because the cabins in the bogie are much more luxurious and it will help you make a good video out of it. Rajdhani Express Trains Are the premium trains which connects the National Capital (New Delhi) to all the state capitals in India.
An awesome video. One thing to add : in India you will get lot of people who can speak and at least understand English because English is the official language in india and that will help u a lot. And if you ask any kind of help people will be happy to help you.
I still cant stop laughing when you used the term "Hobo".. it was very funny. Your vlogs are excellent and to the point ! I haven't seen any expat like you who has merged with the Indian culture so gracefully ! Lots of love from Indian friend. P.s. The term "Hobo" is stuck in my mind forever now😂😂
OMG!! It's really worth time. I watched the second part which provoke me to watch first one. I never seen such detailed videos of travellers. Though, I am not foreigner but still super cheap internet and curosity make you watch everything😂
7:04 ... This is the most common mistake i guess committed by most of the tourists, no matter which country they belong to. I bought a INR 21,000 winterwear before moving to OSLO ... It was as useful as a paperweight. A cheap Winterwear bought locally, done way better.. !!
you didn't mentioned WATER....I've seen foreigners drinking water from tap in india 😂😂whereas indians only drink water from a water purifier or bottled
I think, she had said it all.......India has everything to offer ........catering to the budget you are looking for.........settling in India too is the same , one can have a good life on any budget.......just cut your coat according to your cloth..........the best quality products are available in the bylan es of India.........at the fraction of a price!! To get a hang of it live in India as a whole group ie.- get together at least two families, who may be your relatives or friends, best way is to take up jobs here & explore India in its totality, it is an amazing country of contrasts .....
Hi Ivana it's been while you added a new video, waiting for new video from many days. You make this video to help foreigners to come here, Make One video for Indians too that what things to be noted before going outside India. You know our different behaviour, Indian are quite different. Thanks Ivana for this lovely video.
Very good advice. Great job Ivana. Another thing I might add is that the Indian economy is still highly cash based. It is always a good idea to covert a fair amount of money at the airport - preferably at a nationalized bank. It is not easy to convert your money once you are in the country - there are limited facilities and Hotels will charge you an arm and a leg.
As you like south indian food In Delhi also you can find best of it in sarvana bhavan at cannotplace in delhi 20 minutes wating period.Its main branch is at tamilnadu and only one outlet in Delhi
This is appreciable, you are keeping aware all visitors who will visit India first time or planning to visit soon. As you are in India for long time, you can also update about weather status, which is now a specific need of a foreigner.
Very innovative video IVAANA, many of the people would gain information from the video, some points u mentioned even I as an Indian keep in mind, and in the end I would like to say - - - - u look awesome, and very beautiful... Continue making amazing video, and hold on,,, its a request, pls explore some new places in India
One major reason why foreigners fall sick after eating Street Food is because they eat each and every thing they see on a single day.Even we Indians don't do that.
Try to take care about this fact.
True
The food is teasty no one can resist.
True
That's so true
No it's because the food is unhygienic

I realize safety is a major concern in india, but the best part about visiting a new country is meeting new people and understanding the culture.
I agree, but, when foreigners do that, they get scammed by low lives.
You look pritty in Indian clothes especially the pink dress 😍
that pink salwar kurta was ..mind blowing...she was looking like heavenly angel
Government should declare her the tourism brand ambassador of India... 😊😊😊
Parveen Sharma haha that would be awesome!
Ehm Ha That's so cool!
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial go for northeastindia
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial if you are still in Bangalore then do visit Hyderabad (rich in food and culture and historic place) would be happy to assist you ☺️
I agree.... the way she understands India is just awesome❤ Lots of love❤❤❤❤❤
This video should be shown in Indian ambassy before giving visa for India🇮🇳
This was a great vlog - I've traveled in India and I completely agree with the insane luxury of India . Enjoy yourself 💕😘
These were the few mistakes especially staying in cheapest hotel and then blaming the country is what I have observed with other vloggers. Many thanks for highlighting them!!!
India is chaotic.. but once you are used to it.. nothing even compares
Oh this is so incredibly helpful!! Great video girl
Happy to hear that, thanks!
Your pic very nice
This is very authentic. Actually even Indians travelling from one part to another, can use these tips. :)
As I live in Bangalore, I always feel very happy when someone talks about Bangalore😁😁

This video should be added to the course "Travelling to INDIA 101"..........:)

Yes these apps are a must to have.
And 100 for cops,Cops respond quickly here in South India(I lived in Hyderabad and Bangalore)
IDK about North though
As North Indian states are not that developed.
@@whatever19997 u would be surprised with cops in chandigarh and UP. They are fast responders.

Thank you mam. Because of this type of vlogs foreigners are attracted towards the Indian tourism. Thank you for promoting the Indian tourism
If you are gentle towards indian people and india then indian people and india is the best country for u here people likes u and enjoyed u
Yes. Luxury is cheaper in India
I love how respectful you are to the culture and to the people in India! We definitely value such foreigners/ ppl who come to visit & experience this country! 😌🌻
You are so beautiful looking in panjabee dressing........ that's the right way...to travel in our INDIA......
Welcome to our INDIA......🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Girl, i think you felt the real pulse of India. You describe about us (Indian) and India so accurately that's just wow. Enjoy
Ivana, 100% desi women.
No Evana, it could not be 100%, you forgot to include you and many others!
That's true Ivana. Thanks for sharing your experience and giving some knowledge on how to travel in India for those who are visiting India for the first time. You know what? Being an Indian even I do makes few mistakes while eating fast food and booking hotels when we are visiting new places. Its really helpful for us also. Thanks yo
This video is pure Gold. I believe every tourist coming to India should watch this. Well Done. 👍👏
Ivana you're fully Indian now haha. I've been watching your vlogs since a long time! Love your videos! 💖
No one:

Ivana India loves you🤘🏻😊😊
Very good and informative video...keep it up..God bless.
10:10 very true. I loved that part.
It's a nice video and helpful for others.
Hi Ivan Ji, it brought tears in my heart to hear you speak of how little we need to be happy. Thank you for such a beautiful commentary on India. I'm in Malaysia and I love to get lost in South India. Keep the good work going.
Correct knowledge about India... gr8 video👌👍
superb Ivana... seriously love d way u explain each n evry thng in simple way... superb..👏
Yay thank you!
The best about u is that u r sooo adjustable, flexible and genuine.....I appreciate that🤠
the one about budget is soooo true. Absolutely not a good idea to go for the cheapest option, especially with transport and accommodation.
Yes!! As you said about Travelling in a luxurious trains is in your bucket list. Then i would recommend you to opt for Maharaja Express a world class luxurious train making you a journey of various important cities known for its heritage like:
Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Sawai Madhopur(Ranthambore Tiger National Park), Agra, Gwalior, and Khajuraho.
I would also recommend you to visit A central india tour to Khajuraho and Orcha(Known for its temples, fort, package of experiences village life in India, as well as Luxurious hotels like Amar Mahal) Jhansi is closest city to reach Orcha and Khajuraho. Thanks
The tourists to India are backpackers. They would rather travel second class.
yaaass this will be super helpful one day 😍 about the food no problem if I survive eating street food in Mexico I can survive in India hahaha the only problem the spices coz I'm just used to spicy food for different types of chilli at once 🤭🤭
also what you think about airbnb in India?
is it good or is better to stay in a hotel?
Whoohooo that would be awesome! Hmm I think hotels and home stays are safer. Air b n b is still too unregulated in India in my opinion (and way more expensive!)
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial oh that's very good to know. I'm used to airbnb here in Mexico coz is cheaper than hotels and a great experience. and I totally forgot about home stays in India, I think thats something I don't wanna miss 🤭. thank you iv
Hi Jazmin,
You are more than welcome and you you are going to love the food here.
Still just an advise though, its not the food that makes people sick when travelling, its the water. I Fell sick when i went back home. As long as the street food is piping hot and Water is bottled, you will be good to go.
If you are worried about the Spicyness of the food, carry some form of Yogurt type drink with you. If you get a Chance, get lassi(even better in the summer) and you'll be sorted.
Cheers.
@@cosettesan in india its oyo rooms instead of air bnb. ola instead of uber.
There are apps for every frking thing in india.
I'm glad to hear internet cheaper in India
Super super informative 🙂 thanks.
My personal add on would be: always carry water bottle,hand sanitizer , wet wipes n mosquito repellent creams. Start vlogging whenever u feel insecure. Share pictures of taxi number plate with ur fam. Keep pepper spray handy while travelling solo😈 read reviews of local on GPS for finding best restaurants n public toilets.
A very honest and genuine things I ve seen in any vlogging videos of other vloggers. Worth watching it...!!! Thanks Ivana. Good bless you 😇

this video needs to go viral.... not enough views for the content you have given out in this..
Amen sister! Literally needs to be the introductory video for how to visit india 101
An awesome video. One thing to add : in India you will get lot of people who can speak and at least understand English because English is the official language in india and that will help u a lot. And if you ask any kind of help people will be happy to help you.
Next video on 1st class train experience.we all subscribers are waiting for that video.
WOW! You are really understanding INDIA in way, it is.
Haha thanks!
I still cant stop laughing when you used the term "Hobo".. it was very funny. Your vlogs are excellent and to the point ! I haven't seen any expat like you who has merged with the Indian culture so gracefully ! Lots of love from Indian friend. P.s. The term "Hobo" is stuck in my mind forever now😂😂
Doing good job. India is a lot misunderstood and you are trying to clear a few
Good to know you liked and loved being in India.. You are always welcome to visit as often as you feel like..
i love the way u eat pao bhajji.i will try ur way next time..never thought one can eat this way too....
Ur videos r always amazing and I think some Indians can relate 2 this video when they travel 2 different states, like me.
OMG!! It's really worth time. I watched the second part which provoke me to watch first one. I never seen such detailed videos of travellers. Though, I am not foreigner but still super cheap internet and curosity make you watch everything😂

The best tip is spend some extra for better hotels... Don't stay in cheap hotels if you really not know about that. It may lead to many issues
