International travel can be stressful, even for a seasoned globetrotter.
Taking an international trip is way more expensive than travelling around the country. It often costs you more than what you may have estimated. Since it’s a foreign land, you may be apprehensive about whether the trip is going to be smooth or will get you in trouble.
International travel can be pretty stressful, even for a seasoned globetrotter. Applying for visas, getting passport documents and choosing a destination to travel – there are so many things that you should keep in mind while travelling abroad. Here are five tips you should keep in mind while planning to travel internationally.
Check your documents
Before you book your flights, there is certain documentation work that you need to be aware of. For example, check whether your passport expires within 6 months of visiting. If it is, then you must renew it as soon as possible; otherwise, you won’t be allowed to travel internationally.
Plan ahead
When you have decided on your travel destination, it is important to start planning at least a month ahead of time to get the best ticket prices. You can start by booking flights. You can use apps to keep track of flight deals for your travel destination and make sure you are taking advantage of mileage loyalty programs and travel rewards cards to get the most out of your flight.
Research before booking
It is better to make your booking before you reach the destination, but it is also essential to do your research. Check the reviews and ratings of your accommodation. While hotels are always a good option, don’t forget to do research and compare the prices of Airbnb, guesthouses, hostels and homestays. There is a slim chance to get them at cheaper rates and can also connect with other travellers and locals. For the mode of commutation, opt for the bus or train for a cheaper and better travel experience.
Address money matters
Before you travel to a far-flung destination, you need to notify your bank to let them know that you are travelling. This way, your bank doesn’t suspect fraud when they see that your card is being used beyond international borders. You need to remember that many countries are largely dependent on cash economies; so make sure you have enough exchanged cash to cover your expenses.
Avoid famous places and go to local
You might come across beautiful cafes and restaurants in a foreign city on social media. When you go there, it is either overbooked or overrated. Rather than waiting in a long queue, try a local place; enjoy the ambience and interact with locals.
