✈️ Before You Go
1. Pack Light, Pack Smart
Stick to versatile pieces and pack by outfit. Roll your clothes to save space and avoid wrinkles.
2. Check Passport & Visa Requirements
Ensure your passport is valid for at least 6 months and verify visa rules well ahead of time.
3. Download Essential Apps
Get offline maps, a translation app, and local ride-share options before your trip.
4. Scan & Save Documents
Store digital copies of your ID, itinerary, and tickets in the cloud and/or offline on your phone for easy access.
🌍 On the Road
1. Be Culturally Curious
Learn a few local phrases and customs. It goes a long way in connecting with people.
2. Stay Charged & Connected
Bring a universal adapter and portable charger. If you don’t have an international phone plan, consider a local SIM or eSIM for data.
3. Eat Local, Stay Safe
Try street food, but make sure it’s fresh and the vendor is busy. Busy likely means trusted!

Beat the crowds at popular sites and experience the city waking up—it’s magical.

Use a money belt or RFID-safe pouch. Split your cash and cards in different spots.

Things don’t always go perfectly—have emergency contacts, travel insurance, and a flexible mindset.
3. Respect the Environment
Leave no trace, support local businesses, and choose sustainable tour options.
