LPT: Don't drink tap water when travelling in the US.

You'd be surprised how many places have terrible quality tap water. Don't hesitate to ask locals if the water is safe to drink. You don't want to risk getting an stomach infection while you're away. <br><br>Also remember that first time travelers might not know any locals, so hotels, hostels, and Airbnb's usually have a notice somewhere in the description about the water quality.
