A candid photo is basically a naturally captured, non-staged shot of a person or people who are not posing for the camera, and if you want to make good candid travel photos all you have to do is keep your camera prepared, watch for moments rather than creating them, employ a longer focal length that nobody can realize that you are shooting, become one with the surroundings, concentrate on sincere faces or participation and take your pictures fastly so the moment will still be authentic.
Candid photos are basically “oops I got caught!” photos. 
If you’re traveling, just pretend you’re checking your camera, and snap away while people are busy doing their thing.
Honestly, some of the best shots are the ones where people don’t even notice you’re taking their pic like a tourist eating a massive ice cream in the street.

A candid photo is a picture taken when the subject isn’t posing or aware of the camera, capturing natural emotions and real moments. To take great candid travel shots, blend into your surroundings, stay patient, use burst mode or a fast shutter for movement, and focus on genuine expressions instead of staged poses.

A candid photo captures people naturally without posing. For great travel candids, stay unobtrusive, use burst mode, watch for genuine expressions, and shoot in environments where people act naturally.
A candid photo is all about catching people in real, unplanned moments. If you’re after those genuine travel shots, keep some distance, shoot quietly, watch how people interact, and try to guess what’s about to happen. Set your camera to continuous mode, stick with natural light, and don’t tell anyone how to pose.
