Get Your Documents Ready

Before you even book your ticket, make sure your passport is in date. Many countries require at least six months before the expiry date and a couple of empty pages for passport stamps. You’ll also need travel insurance and depending on how long you’re staying in a country, you may need a visa. Make sure you also have any information regarding accommodations, transport, activities, and your boarding pass. Also, many countries are requiring proof of a negative corona test.

Research

The key to a successful trip lies in planning ahead. Make a general itinerary and be sure to book accommodations for at least the first few nights with an idea of where you’ll stay next. Also, get familiar with the transport situation and download any apps that will help things run smoother.

Stick to a Budget

The last thing you want to deal with is running out of money while you’re on vacation. To avoid this, figure out what you can spend each day and stick to it. Look for cheaper hotel rooms, affordable places to eat, and group tours.

But, because most everyone has access to the internet, you can really find some crucial information if you research the regular scams that people have experienced in the place you’ll visit.

Across the globe, taxi drivers will claim to have broken meters. So, to avoid this, make sure when you get in you ask them to turn it on, and if they refuse, bargain a set price before you arrive at your destination. That way they can’t charge you something ridiculous when you arrive.

“Free” Street Gifts

A lot of times you might be walking down a busy street and someone will come up to you and give you a bracelet or token for free. But, once it leaves their hands and into yours, they will intently try to give them money for it. The best thing is to ignore those people and definitely don’t take that item, whatever it takes.
