Dear London,
The last time I traveled abroad, I made a list of tips for Hanna for traveling internationally. I never showed it to her. However, while I was looking for documents I came across them again, and reading through the list made me smile. This made me think it would be a good idea to post that list on here, so that I may reference it in the future.
Next Weekend Trip:
- Ask if you can drink the water
- Small toothpaste, Q-tip, small contact solution, small bottles for shampoo...
- The right money: Euros, Kroners, GBP...
- Make sure everything is charged: ipod, camera, phone...
- Look up some language to get around the city
- Check the weather
- Bring: cards, pen & paper, chapstick...
- Remember your family, write home
- Stay out of the bike paths, marked by green and red
- Take pictures with people - including yourself - in them
- Remember your values, priorities
- Ask questions
- Don't forget to eat
- It is okay to take a break, breath and do nothing
- Gum makes you hungrier
- Positive energy
- Try something local: theater, museums...
There were more, but I could not understand what some of them meant also there was one giant warning - Cannot put all of them, some are inappropriate. I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean... ah well.
