✈️🌍 Do you have your bags ready? Don’t forget these BASIC steps before you leave! 🎒💼
Whether it’s a weekend getaway or an intercontinental adventure, the key to a stress-free trip is good preparation.
Here’s a quick checklist of “Things to Know and Do” before closing your trolley:
✅ Documents and Finance
1. Always bring a copy of the documents (leave the original in the hotel safe, if possible).
2. Print essential tickets, visas, and reservations, and write down useful numbers and addresses.
3. Check the possibility of using the credit card abroad (unlock the international option).
Remember: it is often more convenient to exchange money on the spot or withdraw with ATMs because the fees in Italy are often higher.
💊 Health and Safety
4. Take out travel insurance and bring an original copy of the document.
5. Prepare a kit of basic medicines, for example for intestinal problems and those of frequent use.
6. Check the “Travel Safe” website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find out about safety and precautions to take in the location where you want to go.
7. Consult your doctor for any necessary vaccines or special care.
8. If you use a public or shared computer, avoid making banking transactions, clear your passwords and browser history.
💡 Culture
9. Learn about local customs and try to learn some basic phrases in the local language!
10 .Make a list of activities, attractions and things to see, and plan at least the first day of your stay.
🎒 Logistics
11. Check the type of electrical outlets in the country and bring a universal adapter if necessary.
12. Check the climate and weather forecast to choose the right clothing.
13. Learn how to get to the center from the airport and transportation costs.
