Our most useful tips at a glance
🧳
Pack Less Than You Think
You will never use everything you pack. Start with half and add from there.
📱
Get a Local eSIM
Stay connected without roaming charges. We use Saily for affordable data in most countries.
💳
Always Carry Local Cash
Cards fail, ATMs run dry. Cash gets you out of more situations than you’d expect.
🛡️
Read Your Travel Insurance
Most people don’t read the fine print until they need to claim. Read it before you leave.
