INFORMATION IS VERY IMPORTANT
Travelling is basically the only thought on people’s mind. Some neglect the power of information. If you want to travel out of the country, first thing to do is consider all valid and invalid information.
There is no too much or too little information. Regardless of how horrible or how interesting the piece of information may be, just gather them and read through as this will not only help you make a good choice but will also prepare you for the life out there to expect.
DOCUMENTATION
When preparing to travel out, documentation is a key point when doing that. As possible as you can, get all necessary documents that suit the particular country you love to go to.
Meet all specific requirement and necessary documents for whatever purpose you are going for. If you are going to study, make sure you have all academic document for the process including your English required certificate if need be.
All documents and information should correspond and be real.
MEDICAL FITNESS AND REPORT MUST BE CHECKED.
Hey guys! Have a good medical record may also aid the trip because no country will grant you a travel visa if you have a health challenge Or you show symptoms of any illness.
Some countries requirement for processing your visa is your medical report which means, you are expected to provide a record of your medical report and make sure you take the right vaccines before travelling.
BOOK FLIGHT AHEAD
It is safe to book your flight weeks before the travel date. Make sure before the schedule departure date, you have booked your Flights, hotel, and everything else you might think of. Don’t wait until the last minute.
PACK LIGHT LUGGAGE
When the call to travel out comes, our Nigerian men and women always want to go prepared with cloths regardless of the weight.
This is wrong. When going on a trip to anywhere, go with very light cloths because when you get to your destination, you might be faced with a bag full of unsuitable clothing for the weather. Moreover, excess luggage charges will take some of your cash, and you don’t want that. Therefore, pack light.
6. ADAPTORS AND SNACKS ARE HANDY
Go prepare with food. Sometime, we need to always calculate unexpected circumstances and delay. What if your flight was adjusted? That will indirectly mean a delay in your landing time plus you might feel hungry along the way.
Prepare your snacks; carefully pack them as well for the unexpected hunger that you might likely be faced with. Note, always remember your adaptor as well. It could be very handy on your journey especially when you arrive at a country you have no video of the light situation.
AVOID CONTRABAND
Contraband is a big topic when travelling. If you assume you won’t be caught, you are wrong. No matter how little or inconsequential you may feel it is, there is a 99% possibility you will be caught.
This is why, when you are travelling, always have it at the back of your mind that you don’t need knives, drugs or hard drugs. If you are going with any drug, there should be a doctor’s note to take along.
Don’t put your life at risk for anyone so make sure you check all goods you are given to deliver to anybody. If you are caught, it is punishable by the law.
BE PROMPT
There is nothing like African time commonly used by Nigerians because you might end up missing your flight. From time to time, there are delayed flights but it is not healthy to work with assumption.
Be sure always of what you want to do and how you want to do your movement but in all you do, it is safe to be at the airport an hour or 2hour before your scheduled time.
CURRENCY EXCHANGE
Changing your currency helps you avoid being stranded. If it is possible, make inquiries before you travel the particular currency used in the country you are travelling to then change them before going.
DEPARTURE FEE
Departure fee is known as the exit fee. It is usually a small amount of money required from you at the airport before you travel out. It covers for your airfare.
After going through the basic things you need to know before travelling out from Nigeria, you are sure ready to go on your trip abroad.
