GET STARTED

ARE YOU READY?

To get started with an international package travel, first choose a destination and travel style, then compare packages from different agencies based on itinerary, inclusions, and cost. After booking, organize necessary documents like passports and visas, and consider buying travel insurance before you go. 

Before you travel

DOCUMENTS AND HEALTH

  • Gather all necessary documents, including your passport, and check its validity. Make photocopies or digital scans of important documents.
  • Verify visa requirements for your destination and apply as needed.
  • Check for any required or recommended vaccinations.
  • Purchase travel insurance to cover unforeseen events.

RESEARCH AND PLANNING

  • Research your destination's culture, customs, and local laws to avoid any misunderstandings.
  • Familiarize yourself with the local currency and exchange rates.
  • Create a realistic budget and plan your itinerary, booking flights and accommodations in advance where possible.
  • Book popular tours or activities ahead of time.

FINANCES

  • Notify your bank and credit card companies of your travel dates to prevent them from flagging transactions as suspicious.
  • Carry a mix of cash, credit cards, and a backup ATM card.

PACKING

  • Create a packing list to avoid forgetting essentials. Consider packing versatile clothing and using packing cubes to save space.
  • Bring a universal adapter and a portable power bank.
  • Pack medications in their original containers with a doctor's note if possible, and check if they are legal in your destination country.
  • Carry essentials like medications, documents, and valuables in your carry-on, not your checked luggage. 

During Your Travel

STAY ORGANIZED

  • Keep important documents in a secure but accessible place.
  • Take photos of your passport's inside cover in case the original is lost.

MONEY AND CARDS

  • Keep some cash handy for small purchases, taxis, or markets, but use your credit card for larger purchases whenever possible.
  • Keep money and cards separate to minimize risk if one is lost or stolen.

SAFETY AND HEALTH

  • Be aware of your surroundings and take precautions against travel fatigue.
  • Avoid posting your travel plans on social media for security reasons.
  • Stay informed about the local weather and adjust your plans as needed.

CONNECTIVITY

  • Set up international roaming or look into local SIM cards or e-SIMs before you go to stay connected.
  • Download offline maps or entertainment for areas with poor service.
