Scan or take a digital photo of any important documents, including
tickets, passport, driver’s license, credit cards, and all your prescriptions

drive. If anything gets lost or stolen, you can easily retrieve this essential

about the history, culture, and people of your host countries. Learn a bit of

that evokes a sense of place. This will keep you jazzed about the adventure
to come, and better informed once you arrive.
