Travel is loaded with the unexpected and that's why it's such an
adventure. It, therefore, follows that the more prepared you are for your trip,
the better you will be able to handle any unforeseen circumstances or
incidences. Regardless, there are signs you have to be aware of to actually
know if you are prepared for your travel or not.Here are 7 signs you are not quite prepared for your next
trip.
Your house looks the same
You are probably not ready to travel if you haven't taken care
of important tasks around the house. These could include general cleaning of
your home, switching off sockets and ensuring all your home devices such as
your television, microwave, or air-conditioning are unplugged.
You don't know your flight status
You should check your flight regularly before you depart. This
will help you know if there will be any significant changes in your flight such
as cancellation, delay or reschedule. If you are not in the know, you are
definitely not ready for your trip.
You don't know your passport expiration date
You would be surprised that some frequent travellers do not know
when their passport will expire. These travellers would have booked their trips
only to discover weeks or days prior to departure that their passport has
expired or close to expiring. So, do not hesitate to check your passport expiry
date.
You haven't packed
Use a packing list and start collecting what you will need for
your trip at least a few days before departure or even longer. However, due to
procrastination, some travellers will delay their packing until the last
minute. At this point, it is possible to forget some key items.
You do not have enough cash
Having enough cash at hand will help you deal with any emergency
as soon as possible because you do not need to run around in search of an ATM.
By the way, it is not entirely advisable not to have cash in your wallet when
you travel.
No one knows you are leaving
For safety reasons, tell someone reliable where you're going so
that they can help you to keep an eye on your house. You do not want your home
ransacked or burgled before you return.
You don't have a backup I.D.
Always carry a copy of your passport and driver's license (or
other identification) when you travel, especially if you are flying. If your
passport gets lost or stolen, a backup copy will ease the process of applying
for an emergency passport.
