11 best travel tips
1. Bring copies of your passport. If your passport gets lost or stolen, this will help you to be sure that you can still get back into the country, or be able to prove your citizenship.
2. Register with your embassy. If there’s a problem in the country, this will make it easier for your government to contact you and get you to safety.
3. Make sure your credit card will work in the country you’re visiting. European banks have switched almost completely to the more secure chip-and-PIN technology, and fewer businesses abroad are accepting the outdated magnetic-strip cards.
4. Always have local cash. It's really vital because not every place takes credit cards. Especially important places like trains or buses.
5. Buy tickets now for places you know you want to visit or see. By buying in advance you’ll be able to skip more lines, and find more deals targeted toward you. You'll save time and avoid troubles.
6. Get guidebooks. Guidebooks usually include maps, key words or phrases, and give you enough detail on certain sites that you won’t need to purchase the pamphlet at the venue. And download apps before you travel. Avoid downloading charges from your wireless carrier and get your apps before you leave.
7. Research events going on while you’re there. This will help you make sure that you’re not missing the best events going on in the city — fun things like festivals, ceremonies and natural events. Also be sure to research as a few national dishes to try. You don’t want to leave the country without experiencing what its known for.
8. Bring a charger adapter. Countries have different size plugs and voltage. So if you want to use your iPhone, make sure you can charge it.
9. Activate your phone’s global capabilities. There’s usually a charge for doing this, but it is much less than the roaming charges you’ll get if you don’t.
10. Pack an extra set of clothes in your carry-on bag. Don’t be one of those travelers decked out in J’adore Paris apparel because the airline lost your luggage and you have nothing else to wear.
11. Bring snacks. Traveling abroad is fun, but it's not always easy to eat in a foreign country. Bring small snacks will help you to keep up until you find the suitable restaurant or food cart.
