Is it your first time traveling abroad? Before you start your trip, several tips as followed would be helpful.

1. Prepare a list of what you will take in your trip before you starting packaging. Leave enough time for completing this list to avoid missing something out.
2. Taking some normal medicines is necessary as nobody could be sure of not being ill during the trip let along you are going to an entirely strange place.

Medicines for the cold or motion sickness, band-aids, and antibiotic medicines would save you from not serious illness.
3. Get some information on the country’s culture, customs and taboos before you go, especial when you are going to some ethnic areas.

Being a foreigner is not an excuse for any forgiveness.
4. Take a card of your hotel from the reception especially you are not good at speaking or listening to the foreign language. The address and telephone number would guide you back if you lost in the city.
5. Have a general idea of what is free and what is charged in the hotel room.
6. Valuable things are suggested to put into the safe in the hotel reception. Some hotels claim responsibility-free if stuff lost in the rooms.

7. Be careful of fake products when you are shopping. High-valued products like gold, silver, jade, diamond jewelry need more attention and consideration.

Don’t completely believe in the promise of being exchangeable and retreated made by the sellers. You could imagine how terrible it is if you made an exchange from your country.
8.

Don’t take too much cash if withdrawing cash or using cards are convenient in some large cities. But do take enough cash if you visit some undeveloped places.
9. For people who prefer group tours, choosing a reliable travel agency is much important and it sometimes even decides whether your trip is nice or not.

Make some comparisons and read enough reviews of at least two tour companies before you have a decision.
10. Passport, air tickets and other important identifications should be kept safely.
