Some tips to remember when planning your first trip abroad include:
1. Research the country and its culture. Educate yourself on the customs, emergency and health procedures, and laws that may apply.
2. Make a budget and stick to it. Research the cost of meals, transportation, accommodations, and any other activities you plan on doing during your visit.
3. Store essential documents, such as your passport and tickets, in a secure location.
4. Use caution when using debit or credit cards; notify your bank and credit card company of your travel plans in advance.
5. Learn some basic phrases in the native language, such as “hello,” “goodbye,” and “thank you.”
6. Make sure you have adequate travel insurance.
7. Stay alert and vigilant of your surroundings.
8. Call your friends and family as you travel, so they know where you are and can assist in case of an emergency.
