Travelling is my favourite thing ever! You meet new people, experience different cultures and build memories upon memories.
The only annoying part about travelling, especially internationally, is all the planning behind it. I mean I love planning all the fun things to do but not planning when to get my visa done!
Since you have a lot on your mind already I thought I’d take the liberty of creating an international travel checklist for you.
From head-to-toe and taking into account all aspects of your journey so you can simply tick it off when you start packing.
