International travel can be hectic especially if you are a first timer. The first tip is, be anxious for nothing. Relax and sort out a perfect plan well ahead. Consider the duration of your stay abroad including the travel time. Whether it is a family, personal or business travel, it is essential to learn about the place you are going to visit. You must be aware of the opportunities that would facilitate your stay and those that would be a drawback that you must be prepared to deal with.

Pack Chic:

Pack your clothes in a hanging shelf with different compartments. This way you can hang it in the rod available in the shelf without messing them. Follow mix up and match style of clothing, which will take less space and give more room for other important things in your luggage. Take spill proof mini containers to store things like shampoos, hair gels and moisturizers. Pack all your toiletries in plastic covers so that you don’t have to worry about the leakage. If you have a health condition, then do not take risks of buying your medicines in the place of your stay. Buy all your essential medical supplies including some common medicines for headache, body pain and stomach conditions. Pack all your medicines in a separate box including your prescription. Don’t carry anything sharp inside as it might damage your luggage. Don’t put everything in your luggage, carry a few essential things in your hand bag including your passport and other details so that you don’t have to wait for your luggage to come to you. You can also be relaxed if you have missed your luggage. Choose a suitcase or a bag that could stand out from the rest. Pick bold colors or decorate your baggage with bright stickers, colors or ribbons for easy identification.

Know your place:

If you travel on your own or with a companion, try to learn about the place you are going to stay. If you are visiting a country where you are not familiar with their language, learn something that would help you communicate. Check out and buy a book that would let you communicate during your stay and include it in your luggage.

Have a Back-Up of all documents:

Scan all your documents like your bank details, your passport and photos and store it in your email id. This will help you in case of any mishaps.

Take care of your itinerary:

Plan your itinerary and take a copy of that and include it in your luggage. Place it somewhere visible in your suitcase like the outer zip or place it on top of all the other things. This will help the airport staff in tracking you in case you miss your luggage.

Leave your marks:

Just let your neighbors or relatives know about your international trip. You can also give them a copy of your itinerary so that this would be helpful for them to track you in case you don’t return on the fixed date. Give them details of email id and account number, just in case you are in need of any financial support under some unfortunate situations.

Follow these simple rules every time you plan for an international travel. These handy rules will let you have a pleasant trip abroad.
