For most of us, it’s been a while since we’ve been standing nervously at the check-in desk because our suitcase is near the weight limit, or since we’ve stepped off the plane and felt that warm air hit our face. Well, the good news is that this summer it seems we can finally get back to our adventures abroad!
I know many people are still unsure about going away again or maybe think it’s too much hassle, but I’m here to tell you that it really is quite easy and safe as long as you do the right prep work. First, here’s a quick checklist of general things to remember, just in case you’ve forgotten:
- Passport – brush off those cobwebs and make sure your passport is still valid!
- Plug adapter – make sure you check what sockets are used at your destination as these can vary by country
- Money – we’re all used to tapping our cards now, but you will get LOTS of charges if you do this abroad! Either get some money converted to the cash currency of the country or why not look at getting a money travel card
- Travel Insurance – do not underestimate the importance of this one!! Make sure you are insured in case anything does go wrong – click here for some advice on this one!
- Liquids – remember any liquids in your hand luggage must all fit into one clear plastic bag AND each be under 100ml – this includes make-up products!
We all want to go have great fun abroad again this summer – and I’m sure we all will – so why not just take a couple of minutes to do that little amount of prep work to keep you safe and ready to enjoy your holiday to the fullest!
