And some airplanes do not even have charging outlets - so carry one for any emergency you might face.

7.Carry Photocopies of your ID proofs.

One can easily scan them in their phones so that they can be easily accessible wherever you go- from passport, visa, driver’s license, vaccination status (if needed), and any other docs. As many times incidents can take place like robbery so to be safe and careful carry the photocopies other than the originals.

6.Reach out to your Phone carrier.

Instead of purchasing a new sim if your phone carrier provided for an international service then recharge as per the suggested tariff plan. As one may need a local SIM card for the country (international) that you will be visiting.

5.Notify your financial institutions about your trip.

Share your destination so that you do not face failure in transactions. This prevents any card cancellations by your bank after making an unexpected purchase distant from home. When visiting internationally, make sure to enquire about specific fees and charges imposed there as well.

4.Are you working when you're away?

Before you leave, pick up a travel Wi-Fi hotspot. Make sure your regular service includes an overseas data plan! And if traveling by car or some bus then carry some board games for everyone who are accompanying you as it will add more fun in your trip. And remember that journey has more stories to tell than the journey itself.

3.Pack your travel Journal - the most important!

Every trip comes to an end. But when you keep the log of the places you are visiting it helps to relive the memories again and again. Days later when you'll back the journal will add more to the moment of flashback.

2.Language translation book.

It is advisable to carry along a phrase book or even a language book to help out where Google translator does not work. Besides, even if you know the language, it is recommended to have the book.

1.Clothes that can work both ways.

Note that the darker colors are far better as they can be worn both day and even at night as well. Make careful to include extra goods in your carry-on, such as medication, in case your luggage gets lost or stolen, and a change of clothes. Do not pack much.
