FAQ
What is the average time it takes to fly between two countries.
The distance between the airports, as well the weather conditions, can impact the time required to fly.
Average flight time is about 3 hours.
The actual flying time depends on many factors like the airline, aircraft type and airport delays.
Do you worry about missing something while traveling?
Yes, I often forget stuff. This is more common when I go on a short trip. Fortunately, I always bring everything I need, so I don't run out.
I always keep my passport, for example. Also, I always make sure that I have enough money before I purchase tickets.
I also always have my phone charger with me. A small bag is also handy for storing other items.
What should I put in my luggage?
You should always own at least two pairs. One pair for walking around the city and another pair for going on vacation.
A good idea is to make sure that you have enough clothes in both cases. It is important to have extra clothes in case you travel by plane.
You may want to consider bringing some extra clothing with you if your plans are to stay for a longer period of time. You won't feel uneasy when shopping for new outfits.
Comfortable shoes are a must if you're going to be taking the train or bus. Also, if driving, bring extra tires.
It is important to have plenty of toiletries like shampoo, toothpaste and moisturizer.
Finally, don't forget a flashlight, insect repellents, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and a first-aid kit.
Do not forget to pack all your essentials in one bag. This will save you time and space.
Also, be sure to take a small washcloth and towel. You'll be able to use them when you take a shower after a long day.
Are there any cheap accommodations available for travelers who are traveling abroad?
Cheap accommodation options for travelers include hostels, hotels, guest houses, and bed & breakfasts.
Hostels offer affordable accommodation in dorm rooms with shared bathrooms and living areas.
Hotels are located in tourist areas and offer private rooms with en suite bathrooms.
Although they look similar to hostels in that they have smaller rooms and more people sharing each one, guesthouses can be quite different.
These beds and breakfasts are very well-liked by budget-conscious travelers. Guests stay in private homes and enjoy a full breakfast included in the price of their stay.

Book early. The price of a booking is lower if it's made in advance. You can also save money by not taking advantage of last-minute deals offered to you by hotels or airlines.

Don't overpack. Keep it light. Make sure you have enough space for souvenirs and other gifts. Bring clothes that fit well and won't wrinkle easily.

Use common sense. Do not walk alone if you're travelling solo. Avoid unsavory neighborhoods and areas where crime is rampant.
-
Take precautions against theft. Keep valuables away from prying eyes. You should never leave anything valuable at home when you go swimming.

Take extra care when handling cash. Thieves often target tourists visiting foreign cities. Keep your money away from prying eyes and only use ATMs at banks or protected facilities.

Have fun. No matter what happens, enjoy yourself. It's worth it.
