Ready steady and go.. 10 points to remember for abroad trip
1) Passport and other documents: Documents required:-
1) Identity proof (pan card, aadhar card, etc. 2)Address of hotel or relative’s address where you are going to stay. 3) Travel insurance.
2) MEDICATION: Always make a list of common medicines like cold, flu and fever, pain killer, antacids, stomach pain, digestive, nausea, etc according to your requirements.
3) Toiletries Every hotel or hostel will not give TOILETRIES like soap, toothbrushes, etc. So this is important to make your own box in which you put your daily essentials like brush, toothpaste, soaps ( you can keep them in small bottles), shampoo, and your grooming and personal hygiene items.
4) Ready to cook food Always pack some homemade food or ready to cooks foods (available in the market). When I went to the UK I remembered that I also packed tea and sugar, Maggi, ready to cook vegetables, biscuits, namkeen, chips, and some homemade sweets. Because My hotel room provided me gas-stove and utensils.
4) Currency Exchange You can exchange your money to the foreign currency from banks, Thomas Cook, and airport money exchange(they charge you a little higher than others). Before going to another country keep some foreign money with you in case of an emergency.
5) Credit/debit card Always check that your bank cards have international access. You can also take benefit of airport lounge access from your cards. Where you can enjoy free meals and drinks plus recliner seats to relax.
6) Book your hotel Never ever think that you can go there and will book your hotel. At least book for two days after that you can search for another one while staying.
8) Plan your trip according to you, not your travel agent. Make a list of places you want to visit (by time and distance) plan them. If you have to buy some travel pass or other tickets compare it to other sites. Read some travel blogs and watch videos before going( at least you know the places).
9) Always carry a mobile charging jack(adapter) according to the country where you are going. Portable charger backup or your phone drain battery.
10)Buy a sim card many options are available to buy a sim card. You can buy it from your country, the airport or from the shops. But remember you cant find wifi connection everywhere, while you reached there you could face problem to book taxi or for opening google maps to reach your destination place.
Happy journey ....... make some good lifetime memories.
