#10: Spending hours in the bathroom instead of exploring - while some traveler's favorite part of international travel is exploring the local cuisine , not everyone is blessed with an iron stomach. Of all the international travel mistakes on this list, getting sick can be the hardest one to avoid. Luckily, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case, nowadays there is medication to prevent that. For example, Pepto-Bismol tablets can be a silver bullet for a traveler’s upset stomach.

#9: Assuming English and a couple of local phrases will be enough to get by anywhere - Before every international trip, download Google Translate’s offline dictionary for your destination’s language. If you don’t want your face to be buried in phrasebooks and translation apps, spend some time memorizing basic travel phrases for your country.

If you want to go beyond basic phrases, try a language learning app like Duolingo or Memrise.

#8: Having your card payments declined
Getting the dreaded “transaction declined” screen is awkward no matter where you are. But if you rely solely on your card to make the payment in foreign currency, the situation is more dire.

To avoid an unpleasant situation, before you depart, notify your banks and credit card providers of your planned travel. Most banks allow you to do this via their website or mobile app. You can also call the customer service number on the back of your card.
And of course, always carry some cash.

#7: Running out of phone battery - A dead phone battery isn’t just about navigation. It’s also about safety, and connectedness, and capturing moments. When traveling, you use your phone to take photos, translate menus, look up train times, and contact your loved ones in case you get separated. When you’re on a solo adventure, a charged phone becomes even more essential.

#6. Frying your electronic devices
Every region of the world has a different voltage (V) supply that comes from outlets. In the US, for example, the voltage supply is 120V (you may also see 110V). In Malaysia, it’s 240V. If you have, say, a hair dryer that’s rated for 120V, and you plug it into an outlet that’s putting out twice as much electrical power, bad things will happen. And plugging in a device rated only for 240V into a 120V outlet can also result in disaster.

#5: Not packing a travel adapter
Did you know that there are 15 types of plugs used across the world? If you’re traveling to a country that uses a different plug type, you’ll need an adapter that allows you to power your home country’s devices. Plugging directly into a USB port can help you skirt the issue. But usually your devices will charge at a snail’s pace or not at all, depending on the power needs.

Instead, you can get a versatile adapter with USB ports and store it in your suitcase right away.

#4: Exchanging a bunch of cash at an airport currency booth
Currency exchange companies are keen to exploit our international travel mistakes by offering lousy exchange rates at airport booths. Instead, change enough currency to cover transportation costs from the airport before you depart.

#3: Forgetting your passport
I know you’re probably thinking “how the heck could someone forget their passport?!”, but even seasoned globetrotters make grievous international travel mistakes

#2 Failing to get an entry visa - sometimes during our travel preparations, it happens that we forget to acknowledge the visa requirements for our destination. This can lead to having to renounce going on our trip which means we might also lose our money invested in tickets and reservations
