Hey — if you're heading overseas, listen up: VPN before you land, a reliable phone + power bank, a local SIM (or international plan), and a couple of unlocked credit cards will save your life. Pack light, wear your heaviest stuff on the plane, and keep originals like passports handy. Study the airport map, sync your phone time as soon as you land, grab an offline translator, and never underestimate body language — it’s the universal backup. Travel’s messy, weird, and amazing — go enjoy it and make a few stories along the way.
