As an experienced traveler the most important part about taking a trip is to always plan ahead of time. I can’t tell you how many trips I’ve taken where I waited until the last minute to pack and plan. You want to make sure that you trip is stress free and not stress full.
Here are some useful tips that may help you on your travels.
CURRENCY
The first and most important tip is currency. Whether you are traveling out of the country or staying in the country you still need to have money in one form or another. It is always good to carry some cash on you. This allows you to pay for taxi’s, food, and any extra items you may acquire along the way. Not all places accept plastic for payment.
If you are in a foriegn country cash is important to have. You don’t necessarily need a lot but just enough to get you what you need. You never know when you’ll be in a small town that is far away from an actual cash machine.
When you are trying to get currency for another country my experience has been that you should have some currency in the form of cash for when you arrive in that country. I am not saying avoid those currency points where you can exchange money but I will say that some of them do charge a lot for the exchange of currency. Based on my experience you want to exchange just a little bit of money and to avoid exchange charges it is easier to go through an ATM than an exchange place. The ATM will not charge you extra for the exchange, but you bank might add some international fees to you statement. Always consult your bank about using your debit card outside of your country.
PACKING
With my years of experience with packing and unpacking during trips have led me to 2 possible solutions. One is to pack everything you need and just leave it in your bags during the trip, this way you don’t have to worry about rushing to pack again when it’s time to go home. Two is to pack light, basically just don’t pack much stuff. My girlfriend has taught me a lot about this mainly because whenever we go on a trip together we always come back with a lot more than what we started with. Therefore the best advice is to pack light because you already know that when you get back you’ll have a lot more than when you started.
