1) Don’t expect everywhere to understand your language, a few words and
phrases in that country’s language goes a long way
2) Plug outlets may be different – don’t forget you travel adapter
3) It’s a good idea to take spare padlocks – many hostels have lockers you
need your own padlock for
4) Opening hours/days of shops may be different to what you’re used to –
research and plan ahead!
5) In some countries, debit/credit card might not be widely accepted –
remember to bring cash
6) Punctuality of transport may not be as good in some countries compared to others – leave plenty of time for connections etc in case of
delays
7) If you’re used to always having good WiFi, be prepared in case you travel somewhere with a poor/no connection – screenshot important things,
such as boarding cards on your phone in advance
8) Although a lot of people (the majority) you come across will be
genuinely friendly, there are still those out there looking to scam you,
especially in busy cities – keep an eye on your belongings at all times
9) Some countries use a different voltage to others, which may affect the
power output of devices, such as phone chargers
10) If you have a specialized diet, you may find it difficult to find suitable
food to eat, consider taking some snacks with you and researching
places that can cater to your needs
