DO:
- Take your mobile/cell phone!
Even if you don’t intend to use it, it’s security!
(and helps cure your loneliness at times)
When you are lost and are meeting a friend, use your mobile phone to call them! ;)
- Buy an international phone card BEFORE you leave home!
I had to use my mobile to call home to tell them I had arrived… when you’re jetlagged and dodging people, its hard to find a phone card! It’s even worse when ur in a non-English speaking country and the person is telling you the card DOES call Australia, but it doesn’t SAY so On the card.

This is the simplest way to use cash overseas! You pre-purchase your desired currency (Euros/Pounds) and just use it like a debit card at any ATM! I purchased Euros and was able to obtain pounds in London with the same card. You can top up the card any time online! My parents did this for me – the only disadvantage is your transactions do not show your current balance. You have to go online to view your account.
