No matter how long you are planning to go on holiday for, having a checklist will ensure that nothing important is left behind. The two most obvious items to add to your list would be your passport and flight tickets, but there is plenty more to remember before you depart.
If you are travelling in Europe, as well as taking out travel insurance, it is highly recommended to apply for a European Health Insurance Card which is free and will allow access to emergency healthcare at a reduced cost. The number for the emergency services across Europe is 112.
There are certain laws regarding passports that can vary from country to country. In some cases you passport will need to be valid for 6 months after you travel. It is worth checking to see if your destination asks for this requirement. It is also a good idea to photocopy any travel documents you ma y be carrying, such as your passport and plane tickets, and leave them somewhere separate from the originals. If you have the emergency contact details section of your passport completed, it will be a lot easier for your parent or guardian to be informed should you run into any problems.
Taking note of the numbers on your traveller’s cheques will also insure you against any loss. It is best to bring a mix of cash and traveller’s cheques, as this will make it easier to budget for your holiday.
