Travel Advice - Preparing For A Trip
Check if you need a Visa(s) for the countries you will be visiting. If so find out what days and times the embassy or consulate opens and be prepared to queue. Arriving early helps.
Take some extra passport size photos away with you. They are useful for documents and reports.
E-mail important details such as passport, travellers cheques, insurance policy numbers and credit/debit numbers to your e-mail account - a great comfort if you lose anything.
Always book your first night's accomodation and try not to arrive in a strange city at night.
Travel Advice - Money
Credit Card - pay money into your account so you can use it as a current account and save paying cash advance fees.
Money - keep valuables in a concealed money belt and small change in a pocket or wallet such as the cashguard.
On-line Banking - set this up so you can keep a close eye on your finances.
Foreign Currency - take time to learn the values and exchange rate.
