It is a nice safe space to practice things, but of course, it does not compare to what you learn when you take care of actual people.

Of course, dinner reservations, booking tours, and purchasing tickets should be done in advance. Airbnb is a fantastic option, especially if you want to cook some of your own meals, as most of them come stocked with the basics for cooking.
