🎒 Travel Essentials – Wisdom for the Road

Use rubber bands or cable ties to keep cords tidy.

Use public transport instead of taxis when possible.

• Ask Locals: Locals often know the best places to eat, shop, or avoid. Don’t be afraid to ask politely.
• Carry a Power Bank: Phones die fast when you’re navigating, taking photos, or translating. Keep a spare battery handy.
• Stay Connected: Buy a local SIM card or eSIM for cheap data, especially for ride-hailing and navigation apps.

Pack light. Move gently. Leave beauty behind for those who follow.
