First time abroad? We find these 4 steps are most often overlooked.

Step 1: Plan ahead for passport processing
Step 2: Check for travel advisories
Step 3: Buy the right luggage (Tip: you don’t need fancy luggage)
Step 4: Check the weather

Remember to have fun, enjoy each experience for what it is, and that everything won’t be like it is at home – that’s the whole point!
