Be Flexible

We always plan for delays and try not to get upset when things inevitably go wrong. Patience is extremely important when traveling![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Learn Common Phrases of the Local Language

A simple “Please,” “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry” in the local language goes a long way. I also like to learn the word for beer, but that’s just me.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Make a List

About a week or so before each trip, I make a mental list of items I don’t want to forget — which I WILL forget if I don’t write them down. I’ve learned that when I think of something, I need to write it down.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Don’t Forget an Extra Camera Battery (or Two)

Have you ever gotten to that epic sunset photo spot and realized your camera battery is dead and you don’t have a back up? I try to bring at least three camera batteries on all of our trips so that we don’t miss out on that perfect shot.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=»stretch_row» fading_background_color=»on» fade_color_1=»#f3f3f3″ fade_color_2=»#711730″ css=».vc_custom_1541189051580{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}»][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Always Buy Travel Insurance

A medical emergency can wipe out your savings — or even worse. We use and trust World Nomads for travel insurance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Make Photocopies of Important Documents

In my early twenties, I was very good about keeping a copy of my passport in a separate bag from my actual passport. Then I got lazy. Recently, a friend of mine lost her passport at the airport. She was told that if she had brought a copy of it and extra passport photos they would have let her travel. Since she didn’t, she was forced to forfeit a $2,000 flight and a week in Europe. I now carry a copy with me.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Pack Extra Underwear

Undies are small and it’s always a good idea to have a few extra pairs in case of emergencies. Another option is to pack these quick-dry underwear so you can easily wash them on the road.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Pre-plan Your Outfits

I’m a lazy, last-minute packer, so I’ve spent too many trips with all black or all grey outfits because I didn’t plan my outfits before packing. I look back at photos and wish I had put more effort into packing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=»stretch_row» fading_background_color=»on» fade_color_1=»#f3f3f3″ fade_color_2=»#c63725″ css=».vc_custom_1543001771699{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}»][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Bring Lotion in Your Carry-on

I fill both sides of a contact lens case with hydrating lotion (I use this all-natural hydrating lotion) because they rarely have it in the lavatories and airplane cabins are exceptionally dry.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Put Your Room Number & Hotel Address in Your Phone

Am I the only one who can’t remember my hotel room number?? There has to be others out there like me.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Ask The Locals

We always ask the locals to point us to the best restaurants, awesome spots to watch the sunset, the best coffee shops, etc. I do like to tell people what type of food I’m craving though. I’ve been led to some interesting restaurants that wouldn’t have been my first choice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=»1/2″][vc_column_text]

Let Someone at Home Know Your Plans

This is extremely important when traveling solo, but it’s still a good idea no matter how many people are in your travel group.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
