FAQ

Do you ever worry about forgetting something when you travel?

Yes, I often forget stuff. This is most common on short trips. But luckily, I always have everything with me, so I never run out of anything.

For example, I always have my passport with me. And I always check whether I have enough money when I buy tickets.

Also, I always take my phone charger. To store any other items, I keep them in a small bag.

You will find yourself in situations that leave you with very little time for making decisions when you travel. It's okay to be spontaneous.

It is possible to be stuck anywhere for hours, days or even weeks. If you have a plan, you'll be able to provide food, water, shelter and a place to rest. However, if you don’t plan ahead, you might need to improvise.

In these cases, you'll probably have to rely on what you know how to do best. That means making quick decisions based on instinct and experience.

But sometimes, you won't have any choice. There are many situations where you might be left without cell or gas service, or even robbed. You'll need to adapt quickly to these situations.

You must remain calm, be focused and take decisive action. Don't panic. Instead, be calm and focus on what you can do.

If you are tired, you can take a break. It's okay to bundle up if it is cold. If you're wet, you can change clothes. No matter what you do, it will make you feel better to stay positive.

How can you find affordable accommodations when you travel abroad?

For travelers looking for cheap accommodation, there are several options: hostels; hotels; guest houses; and bed & Breakfasts.

Hostels offer affordable accommodation in dorm rooms with shared bathrooms and living areas.
