TRAVEL TIPS — Places
PLANNING - I plan trips thoroughly: I look 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-rated ones, to see whether the complaints describe things I can live with. PACKING - I keep a master packing list so I can pack on autopilot without forgetting anything. - Always pack a power bank, a universal adapter, a first-aid kit, and an ID card. DOCUMENTS - Save screenshots of your passport, visa, insurance, and hotel confirmations; if possible, print copies. - Purchase comprehensive travel insurance—better safe than sorry. STAYING SAFE - Stay aware without becoming paranoid or careless. This 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.
