Travel Documents
- Visas – ALWAYS check the visa requirements in advance of travel. For some countries visas can take as long as three or four months, so you have to plan ahead.
- Passports – make sure you have enough clean pages in your passport and it’s not going to expire while you are traveling.
- Copies of Travel Documents – you should always carry a copy of your identification in case it’s lost or stolen. Carry two passport photos in case you have to replace your passport at an embassy in a foreign country.
- Cloud Storage of Travel Documents – always great to have copies in the cloud. You can find a place to get them printed in an emergency.
