Top Ten Travel Mistakes- DO's AND DONT's with Alex- Travel Tips Tricks and Hacks

Hi!
Here are the Top Ten Most Common Travel Mistakes!

1. Overpacking. While underpacking is bad, overpacking means there is more to lug around, less mobility, higher baggage fees, and more to rummage through every time you're looking for pair of socks.

2, Forgetting to Get Local Money- especially in developing countries, many places don't accept credit cards.

3. Not Buying Travel Insurance- in case something goes wrong- work, medical, etc

4. Check VISA requirements. Once, on my trip to SK, I forgot to apply for a Visa. Good thing I got TRAVEL INSURANCE

5. Guard your Valuables. My phone was stolen in South Korea. 😭

6. Keep an Electronic Copy of Itinerary for Quick Access

7. Don't have an Overambitious Itinerary. It's better to hit a few spots and savor them, then race from stop to stop, bone tired.

8. Don't Rely Totally on Guidebooks. They are here to inform you, not dictate you. Instead, interact with others and your destination more.

9. BACK UP PHOTOS! There's an extremely high chance that something will get lost/stolen on a trip, which could mean the loss of many memories. I suggest the Google Photos app (free) for unlimited free storage in Google Drive. Thanks, Google!

10. Have Fun! No, just kidding.

10. Keep Important Documents Safe, or Make Copies. Don't wanna lose your passport!

Thanks!
Bye!
