Travel Tips:
1. Always buy travel insurance. The best investment you hope to never use.
2. Make extra copies of your passport, credit cards, and important documents. Email them to yourself. You never know when you might need to have some sort of documentation with you and might not want to carry your original.
3. Slow down to enjoy your trip and be flexible. All the good happens when you really take the time to explore. You’ll learn about activities that aren’t in your guidebook and meet people who are eager to show you around.
