TRAVEL TIPS — Places

PLANNING - I plan trips thoroughly by looking up itinerary recommendations, read blog posts, watch videos, and build a rough itinerary on Google Maps before I go - Before booking anything (a hotel, a tour, a restaurant), I read the reviews. Especially the lowest ones, to see if the complaints are things I can live with PACKING - I keep a master packing list so I can do it on autopilot and never miss anything - Always pack: power bank, universal adapter, first aid kit, ID card. DOCUMENTS - Screenshot your passport, visa, insurance, and hotel confirmations; if possible, print a copy. - Purchase a comprehensive travel insurance, better safe than sorry. STAYING SAFE - Keep your awareness and caution at a normal level: not paranoid, not careless. It applies everywhere, not just when traveling solo - Share your live location with someone you trust, and let them know where you’re going every day
