- When traveling, it is important to make sure you have a water bottle with you and buy a travel dress. Make sure you get your doctor's approval if you are flying overnight or in the morning. Be aware of the customs at a restaurant if you are unsure of the culture. Pack snacks for your flight, and be careful when you recline your seat. Stay in hostels to save money, and bring an e-reader in case you run out of things to read. Put your name and number on the inside and outside of your luggage, and research the place you are visiting before you go.
