Always bring toiletries and a fresh outfit in your carry on! This way, if your baggage gets lost, you'll be covered for a day or two.

It's a good idea to keep your passport, itinerary, and any other travel documents in a clear folder or envelope. Keeping them organized and together keeps you sane (and makes working with travel officials much more pleasant)!

You are going to spend a lot of money to go abroad. So it is necessary to have sufficient knowledge about the place, choose an itinerary, a guide, and a tour operator who can provide the experience you are seeking.

Expert Answer

Traveling to Spain is more affordable. There are a lot of small towns as well big cities you can visit. There is flexibility as far as flying into Spain. You have the option of flying into Madrid or Barcelona. Spain is about the people. It's about the culture, it's about the food, so it's not a destination where you're spending a lot of money on attraction. You can self guide a lot of the activities in Spain, and there are great places to hike.

Question

How do I prepare for a short term holiday?

Community Answer

Check the weather and pick things you will definitely want to wear. If it's only short, choose just a few items that coordinate well with each other.

Question

What should I wear if I'm very self-conscious?

Community Answer

It depends on what type of holiday you are taking. For summer/spring stick with thin shirts that you can wear tank tops under, and for winter/fall bundle up in sweaters.

Question

What should I pack if I am going to a variety of destinations? (Alaska, Paris, Hawaii, Tokyo, Milan)

Iga D

Community Answer

Pack some clothes good for every single one and add ones that you will need for particular destination. Just take some tees, trousers and underwear and then add a swimming costume, coat and so on. Also plan to buy some clothes locally, so leave room in the suitcase.

Question

What should I do when I am leaving for a 3-month holiday?

Iga D

Community Answer

Pack as many items as you can, then just wash them when you find a place with a washing machine. It might be in your hotel, and if you're going to multiple places just keep a lookout. If you are very desperate and cannot find one, then it's quite easy to wash it in your sink and then dry it. It'll be good as new!
