All travellers need travel insurance. At a minimum you should take out travel insurance for emergency medical expenses, emergency medical repatriation, and repatriation of mortal remains. Further insurance can and should be taken out to cover lost belongings and other travel related incidents such as change or cancellation of trips and flights, delayed or lost luggage, and other medical costs. Please speak to your insurer or medical professional to discuss insurance requirements and any pre-existing conditions.

Comfortable clothes and footwear are essential, as well as sun protection. You may also wish to pack a water bottle or water bottle cooler bag (these can be easily purchased online). Travel adaptors and chargers should not be forgotten. Luggage is typically limited to one standard suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per person.

This allows the government to be able to contact you and provide assistance if something happens during the trip, either at home or near your destination country. Other countries may have a similar program and trips should be registered where possible.
