1. Know Your Destination
Learn about the local customs, culture, and important laws. Know what’s socially acceptable to avoid any unintentional offenses. This includes understanding local tipping customs, dress codes, and important traditions.
2. Check Visa and Entry Requirements
Verify the visa requirements, including how long you can stay, whether you need a visa in advance, or if a visa-on-arrival option exists. Double-check your passport’s expiration date (it typically needs to be valid for six months beyond your trip).
3. Make Copies of Important Documents
Photocopy your passport, visa, travel insurance, and itinerary. Keep copies both in your luggage and digitally (email them to yourself or store them securely online). This can be a lifesaver if you lose your documents.
4. Travel Insurance Is Essential
Whether it’s for medical emergencies, trip cancellations, or lost luggage, travel insurance provides peace of mind. It's better to be safe, especially for international trips.
5. Stay Aware of Health and Safety Guidelines
Research any required vaccinations or health advisories for your destination. For certain countries, it’s also smart to carry basic medication or preventive items (mosquito repellent, for example). Also, check with your medical insurance provider to see what type of coverage you have while traveling.
6. Money Matters
Notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid card issues abroad. Carry a mix of cash and credit cards, and research whether ATMs are easily available at your destination. Also, check if your cards charge foreign transaction fees.
7. Understand Transportation Options
If you do not arrange transfers through your travel agent; research how to get around. Is public transportation accessible, or will you need taxis or rideshare apps? For larger cities, familiarize yourself with metro systems or rent a bike.
8. Pack Smart and Light
Always check baggage weight restrictions and pack only what’s necessary. A good rule of thumb is to pack half the clothes and double the money you think you’ll need! Don't forget to leave some room for souvenirs.
9. Know Emergency Numbers and Local Contacts
In case of emergencies, it’s helpful to know the local equivalent of 911. Also, note down the contact details of your country’s embassy or consulate in case of legal or other emergencies.
10. Stay Connected
Consider purchasing a local SIM card or an international roaming plan to stay connected, especially for directions and bookings. Alternatively, many destinations offer reliable public Wi-Fi, but be cautious about security when using it. Check with your mobile phone provider and see what plans they offer when traveling out of the country.
Also there are multiple apps that you can use such as whatsApp, google, WeChat, etc. (disclaimer: not recommending either). You should research to find out what best fits your needs.
