Don't forget anything before you leave

The REAL travel checklist!

Plan your administrative procedures in advance

Valid passport date ?

Beware of some countries which require a passport validity date greater than the date of your return from vacation : For Indonesia for example, you must have a valid passport valid at least 6 months after your returning date.

 

Find out about the necessary visas , their cost and how to provide them. Beware of deadlines which can be sometimes very long (from 1 to 4 weeks depending on the Country)

 

Are your vaccines up to date for the chosen destination?

 

VERY IMPORTANT: I ​​recommend it to all of my travelers : have a copy of all your documents (identity, hotels, car rentals, you never know what can happen !)

Money and payments

Consider increasing the limits on withdrawals and payments from your bank.

 

I recommend that you change some money of the currency of your destination before your departure. There is not always an exchange office immediately upon arrival and this can be useful.

The essentials !

  • Identity documents

  • Tickets and other printed travel documents (visa, driving license, etc.)

  • Wallet

  • An international adapter if necessary

  • A nomadic backup battery

  • First aid kit

  • Chargers (phones, computers, tablets ...)

  • Camera

  • Earphones or headphones for the aircraft

  • Sunglasses, lenses, etc.

  • Handkerchiefs, hydro-alcoholic gel

  • Creams and ointments for sunburns (depending on the destination)
