5 Travel Tips That You Need to do Before Every Holiday

Do you ever feel that pre-holiday scramble? 

Tickets booked, bags overflowing, and a nagging sense of forgetting something crucial? We've all been there. But what if there was a way to turn that pre-trip panic into a smooth and organised breeze? Buckle up, because we're revealing 5 essential travel tips you need to do before every holiday! 

1. Check Travel Documents

Ensure that your passport, visas, and any necessary travel documents are up to date and valid for the duration of your trip. It’s also wise to make copies or take photos of these documents in case they get lost.

2. Arrange Travel Insurance

Obtain comprehensive travel insurance that covers health, cancellations, theft, and any activities you plan to do. This will provide peace of mind and financial protection in case of emergencies.

3. Prepare Your Home

Secure your home before leaving by arranging for someone to check on it, take in post, and water plants. Set timers on lights to give the appearance that someone is home. Ensure all windows and doors are locked and unplug non-essential electronics.

4. Plan Your Itinerary and Pack Smart

Research your destination and plan a rough itinerary, including key attractions, dining options, and local customs. Pack according to the weather and activities, making sure to include essentials like medications, travel adapters, and comfortable shoes. Don’t forget sun protection like sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses.

5. Notify Your Bank and Mobile Provider

Inform your bank of your travel dates and destinations to avoid your cards being blocked for suspicious activity. Check your mobile provider's international plans to avoid excessive roaming charges, and consider getting a local SIM card if needed.
