Travelling international is something that we all dream of doing at least once in our lifetimes. You get to see new places and landscapes, talk with different people and enjoy a different culture and in general, you will see the world differently after you travel the world. But in today’s world it has become a whole lot pricier with lots of paperwork involved in order to travel to another country or continent.

If you are having chronic conditions or any ailments that require you to take medications in a frequent basis, then consulting your doctor is a must. You will have to let them know of exact places you are going to and also how long you will be there. If your doctor says ok for you to go then you have to check your insurance to figure out whether the policy you are on covers overseas injuries as well. If not then you will have to go for different insurances coverage. Usually, doctors will provide prescriptions and medications to cover your travel time and when you are packing, make sure that you pack the medication by dosage so that if you lose the bottle you do not lose everything.
Vehicle License
If you plan on operating a vehicle at the place you are visiting, check with your trusted driving school whether your license allows you to operate a vehicle in foreign soil. If you had originally applied for an international license then most countries will allow you to operate a vehicle on their roads.
Depending on the reputable institute you can apply and get internal license.
Dealing with money
Usually taking your own currency with you does not make much sense and most people are afraid of taking a large amount of cash with them when flying abroad. You will have to check with your banks whether they provide travelers checks and whether their cards will work overseas on the country you are planning to go. Check with the bank whether they have a branch at that particular country or whether there is a local bank affiliated with your bank. When you are in the country try going to an ATM or a bank to get cash and not the conversion centers littered around the airport. Most of these conversion centers have rip-off values.
Always make sure to take an adapter with you (or a solar charger) and check the voltages of your electronic items. If you plan on using your own phone then activate its roaming capacity to use it abroad.
