Travel Tips for All Travelers

 

Here are some of our best travel tips to help you make the most of your journey—whether you’re exploring a new country or rediscovering familiar places. These insights, inspired by Trod Sankofa's adventurous spirit, will guide you to a smoother, more enjoyable travel experience.

 

 

      1.  Plan Your First Night in Detail

                  Even if you love to travel spontaneously, have your first night’s                              arrangements sorted. It helps reduce stress after a long journey.

 

     2. Photocopy Important Documents 
            Make copies of your passport, ID, and travel documents, and store                      them digitally for easy access.

 

         3.  Buy Essentials at Home
            Get adapters, SIM cards, and currency in advance. It’s often cheaper                   and ensures you’re ready to go from the moment you arrive.

 

      4. Notify Your Bank
             Let your bank know you're traveling to avoid any unexpected issues                  with card access. Better yet, consider using travel-friendly banking                      options like Revolut, Monzo(UK), and Wise, which offer low or no                          international fees, convenient currency exchange, and easy budgeting             tools right from your phone. These apps also provide added security                 features like instant freeze/unfreeze for peace of mind while you’re                     abroad.
 

          5. Prepare for Connectivity
                Activate international service on your phone or consider buying a local                         SIM card. A travel Wi-Fi hotspot can also keep you connected. 

 

       6. Pack Light, Pack Smart
                   Choose versatile clothing and pack a change of clothes in your carry-on,                       just in case your luggage gets delayed.

 

       7. Carry a Travel Journal
                     Jot down your experiences to create memories you can revisit later.

 

       8. Learn a Few Key Phrases
                   Knowing basic phrases in the local language can be a lifesaver and helps                    you connect with locals.

   

       9. Get Travel Insurance
                Protect your trip with insurance that covers cancellations, medical                                 emergencies, and disruptions.

 

      10. Smile and Be Excited
                  Enjoy every moment of your journey, including the unexpected ones.
