Best Travel Advice When Traveling Abroad

The best travel advice I can give for traveling abroad is to plan ahead. You will thank yourself if you spend some extra time packing the right items, doing your research on what you want to visit and where you want to stay. I can give you a few tips to point you in the right direction and I encourage my readers to post their own advice in the comments section.

Plan Your Trip

If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch you may want to download an iOS advice to help you with you planning. One such application is TripCase, it has a variety of tools to help you take notes on your trip and better prepare for a trip. If you fly on Delta I would recommend checking out their iOS app called Fly Delta. I used this for my last trip and it was useful for keeping my basic information rather than me having to create a printout. Also, they keep adding new features.

Pack Well

Use the vacuum sealing bags available at many travel shops or Target. These things really work and shrink the size of your clothes! Also consider packing a back inside of your bag - this way you have an extra bag to come home with all the new things you pick up on your travels.
