This is it. The trip that will make all those nights you spent slogging away at revision worthwhile. Here are 6 tips to make it fantastic!
PLAY IT SMART
Split up the cash you carry, so you’ve still got lots to spare even if you take a hit from pickpockets (fingers crossed you don’t)!
GET IN WITH THE LOCALS
Make a great first impression by learning some
key phrases in the local language before your trip. They’ll come in handy.
LEAVE SOME THINGS AT HOME
Don’t let crazy excess baggage charges ruin your trip. Pack light by scrutinizing every item before it goes into your bag.
STAY ONE STEP AHEAD
Make photocopies of key documents, like your passport, car rental voucher and itinerary, just in case!
CHOOSE A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS
If you’re doing your trip ‘On the Road’ style, make sure the wheel of your car’s always in the hands of an alert, sober driver.
CONTROL THE DAMAGE TO YOUR WALLET
Do a bit of research before your trip – compare airfare and accommodation prices online to take advantage of the best deals.
