Spring Break is a chance for friends and family to spend time with one another whether it's on a tropical beach or traveling to Europe to see some epic historic sights. While millions of people travel during this time of year, there are numerous things Spring Breakers are doing that are not okay with the locals.

Locals are advising Spring Breakers to stop doing certain things that not just aggravating, but will go a long way when it comes to their safety. While getting rowdy in Cancun or Miami is inevitable, many small businesses will actually implement rules like dress codes and even higher age limits to stop crowds from getting wild. However, these locals do care about your safety, so wearing flashy and expensive jewelry or drinking the tap water is something everyone should consider not doing.

Using common-sense goes a long way when traveling abroad and some things like using a nation's currency and not just a credit card and not drawing attention to yourself are just a few things travelers can easily do that won't frustrate locals. Here are 10 things Spring Breakers do when they travel abroad (the locals wish they wouldn't).

10 Get Extremely Rowdy

The large amount of Spring Breakers traveling across the country can help boost a nation's economy and help small businesses, but Spring Breakers who act rowdy can make it difficult for owners to maintain their businesses efficiently. It's been known that places that see large crowds have refused service for people who act disorderly, they have not accepted people who don't follow dress codes and have even considered raising the drinking age.

9 Ignore Using Sunscreen

Before partying on the beach all day, Spring Breakers should later on sunscreen to protect themselves from sunburns, the development of wrinkles, signs of aging and skin cancer. Travelers are recommended to use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and should always remember to reapply throughout the day.

8 Wear Flashy Jewelry

Travelers should remember that they are in a foreign country and should use common sense when it comes to wearing expensive or flashy jewelry during Spring Break or any other time they are traveling. Petty crime is found in all parts of the world and there really is no need to bring expensive jewelry, especially since you'll be on a beach all day.

7 Only Carry Credit Cards Or U.S. Dollars

It's important to know that while credit cards are widely accepted, small businesses may prefer using their currency because they might not accept cards or even large bills since they might be able to break it, so consider where you are going before packing just plastic. Also, people traveling abroad should exchange their money at their local banks to get the best exchange rate.

6 Only Stay Inside The Resort

Resorts have a ton of amenities for travelers, but why just stay at the resort when you can have a real and authentic experience of a nation's culture just outside of it? Instead of lounging around by a pool all day with hundreds of other Spring Breakers, why not try to step outside to try local foods, see historic sites and meet new people.

5 Draw Too Much Attention To Themselves

It's important for travelers to not draw so much attention to themselves, especially when they are in a foreign country that is known for petty crime and other misfortunes. Countries like Mexico, France and Germany have a Level 2 warning by the U.S. Department of State, which means that travelers should be vigilant and just use common sense.

4 Drinking Unfiltered Water

Many nations around the world highly advise travelers not to drink tap water because they can contract illnesses and the water may contain microorganisms that will make anyone sick. Spring Breakers should stick to bottled water at all times whether they are in the Bahamas, Mexico and even traveling to countries in Europe like Ukraine.

3 Being Too Scared To Try Local Foods

Spring Breakers that plan on traveling abroad should take the opportunity to try some of the amazing local food. There are hundreds of small businesses and even street vendors that make tasty treats that are more authentic than the overpriced popular restaurants near beaches and resorts. Plus, you won't find yourself stuck in crowds of rowdy vacationers.

2 Only Dining At Popular And Expensive Restaurants

While popular and expensive restaurants might have stunning views and gourmet dishes, you won't really be getting a real experience of a nation's culture and its people. Just sticking to these popular places will feel humdrum when you can be out and about walking down cobblestone streets surrounded by historic buildings, seeing beautiful sights and meeting cool locals.

1 Only Staying In Cancun

Cancun, Mexico is a top destination for Spring Breakers with miles of beaches and fun amenities. But, instead of lounging on a beach all day, check out other thrilling things to do like go scuba diving, visiting an ancient Mayan site or taking a day trip to Tulum.
