Travel Advice

According to the UK Foreign and Commonwealth office, these are some of the things to consider before setting off on a trip:
  1. Check with travel advice services for the country you are visiting
  2. Find contact details for Embassies near to where you will be staying
  3. Get adequate insurance
  4. Check whether you will need vaccinations
  5. Make sure you have Visas if required and check validation of your passport (some countries require 6 months after your date of travel…)
  6. Tell people at home where you are going and keep in contact
  7. Get a good travel guide
  8. Check your license validation if you intend to drive (take copies of your licence and passport)
  9. Take enough money in various forms or emergencies
All good advice before you set off…especially the safety aspects if you will be moving around, and the issues around paperwork such as passport validity, visas and travel insurance.
