Don't pack what you don't need, on to your Baggage. Remember, if you need something, you'll be able to buy it on the road. Students require the most during their period of study.  Decide and pack wisely. Always take an extra pair of clothes in your hand luggage just in case your Baggage is delayed or lost to survive a day or two before your baggage reaches you. Find details on Packing.

Flying internationally causes jetlag because of the fact that you are crossing three time zones. Some precautions to take include:

• Drink plenty of water.

• Avoid alcohol intake.

• Stick on to a bland diet.

• Take some sleeping pills on long flight over.

Avoid attracting attention on to yourself by wearing something which stands out like jewellery. You would be a soft target for Pick-Pocketers when you look rich.
Avoid tourist traps, enquire before you venture out.

Carry sufficient destination currency. Just don’t bank on your ATM/  Credit Cards for any transactions. Before you travel, call up your Bank and make sure your ATM can be used in the places you are visiting. Carry a mixture of currency (some cash, ATM & travelers cheques) with you will perhaps be a wise decision. Don’t lock up all your money on to travelers cheques.

Always keep your self informed about the places you are visiting. A simple search on google would help you survive the worst conditions. Learn about the weather conditions, transportation and of course, about places you need to keep away from.
