Introduction

Travelling abroad is a lot more than just packing your clothes and taking off for the airport. There are many important things that you need to prepare before you go abroad, including visas, vaccinations, skills, certifications and the language you will be using if you are traveling to a non-English speaking country.

Research

Research the country you are going to.

Research the culture of your destination country.

Research its language and food preferences, if applicable.

Get an idea of what climate you will experience while there by reading up on weather patterns and other information about the area before leaving home (if possible).
