FAQ

Do you ever worry that you might forget something when you travel?

Yes, I often forget stuff. This happens most often when I'm on a brief trip. But luckily, I always have everything with me, so I never run out of anything.

My passport is one example. When I buy tickets, I always ensure that I have enough cash.

I also keep my phone charged. A small bag is also handy for storing other items.


Where should I store my luggage

There are several different options available. The most common one is to use lockers at airports. These are normally located near the security area. You can get one for $5-10 per Day, depending on how big the locker is.

You could also rent a storage facility. These units can be found in shopping centers and hotels. There are discounts available for multiple units, although prices can vary.

A third option is to hire a porter. A porter will help carry your luggage from the carousel to your room. Each time he assists you, a small fee will be charged.


Here are some things you should never forget about when traveling.

When you travel, you'll find yourself in situations with little time to make decisions. Prepare to be flexible.

Sometimes you might find yourself stuck for days, weeks or months. If you have a plan, you'll be able to provide food, water, shelter and a place to rest. You may need to improvise if you don't plan ahead.

In these cases, you'll probably have to rely on what you know how to do best. That means making quick decisions based on instinct and experience.

Sometimes you don't have a choice. For example, you could be stranded in an area without cell phone service, running out of gas, or having been robbed. You will need to be flexible to any situation that presents itself.

It is important to remain calm, keep your eyes on the prize and be decisive. Don't panic. Instead, be calm and focus on what you can do.

For example, if you're lost in the woods, you can choose which direction to go. Or if you're hungry, you can eat berries or mushrooms. If you're thirsty, you can drink rainwater or melt snow.

If you're tired, rest. You can layer up if you are cold. If you're wet, you can change clothes. Whatever your choice, staying positive will help you feel better.


How much luggage should you take?

The amount of luggage you take depends on the length of your trip. If you are flying, your hand luggage is limited to less than 20kg. If you are traveling by plane, you only need hand baggage, usually less than 20kg.

At the airport, you will receive a form that you need to complete with your details. This form will ask for information such as your baggage weight and if you require assistance to check them in.

This must be done before you leave your home. You might find yourself stuck waiting in line for hours as everyone else inspects their luggage.

It's best to travel light, as you never know when something might happen. For example, if your bag gets lost, you won't have anything to wear.
