Early booking works best if you have a strict schedule that you have to stick to. If not, then let your trip be spontaneous and avoid booking it in advance as much as you can. It is the only way you can stay in a hotel where they can give you discounts, and if you have to leave it earlier, then you will not be obligated to pay a fee to change tickets.

Of course, your bank card will have one of the best rates of currency exchange, which means you will never have to carry a lot of money with you. Plus, you will not be obliged to pay extra when exchanging the money. Just remember to get a bank card before you travel that compensates all ATM fees in order to withdraw money anytime you want.

Our biggest nightmare is to be in a foreign country, millions of miles away from home, and get all of our important documents and money stolen. To avoid that, don’t wear any expensive clothes, bags or jewelry.

Try to put each valuable thing in a different bag, and leave them in the hotel. Also, consider taking a money belt and wear your backpack from the front.
