Research before you go—weather, local customs, dress codes. Make sure you know the basics of what to expect before you step off the plane. You’ll make better choices and get the most out of your trip.
Is it your first time traveling solo? The most important thing to take with you is common sense. Always book your first night’s stay regardless—you’ll rest easily knowing you won’t have to deal with finding a hotel while jet lagged. And always have a backup plan.
Keep the address to your hotel in a notebook and carry your passport and some extra cash in a well-concealed spot. Lastly, don’t forget your travel insurance!
