November has arrived and many people are already thinking about the end of the year holidays. Many have already chosen their destination and are just waiting for December to arrive to enjoy their well-deserved rest. Still others are programming dates and destinations.

In this post, the awesome.club brings you tips to avoid having problems for destinations inside and outside Brazil. Check out.

Imagine that you choose the destination, pay for the tickets, accommodation and, a few days before, you simply discover that you are sick? Let’s face it, you don’t need to do a complete check-up, but a doctor’s appointment will be good to define which exams and vaccines are necessary, especially if you’ve chosen an exotic destination. Oh, and don’t forget to separate some basic remedies, such as for headaches, intestinal discomfort (if you eat too much, you’ve already seen that, right?), colds, etc.

Many people are still unaware, however, for many destinations in the world, travel insurance is mandatory. Even in those places where it is not required, it is good to think that unforeseen events happen and good insurance can guarantee more peace of mind for your trip. In addition to covering medical expenses, some modalities guarantee reimbursement in case of cancellation of trips, lost luggage and even coverage if you venture to practice some extreme activity on your vacation, such as bungee jumping, for example.

In addition to suspending or changing the delivery address of newspapers and magazines, also do not inform strangers of your absence. If the trip is extended, ask a relative or close friend to visit your home and see if everything is in order. Store jewelry and other valuables in bank vaults, not your home. Turn off the lights—lights on during the day will be suspicious—and, if possible, install timers, which only turn the lights on when it gets dark.

We’re sorry to inform you, but your accounts don’t take a vacation. To avoid paying fines and interest, if possible, pay each one of them in advance or schedule the debit through bank ATMs or even via apps.

Renting a vehicle will give you much more freedom to discover the destination you are going to on your own, without depending on groups or local guides. Both in Brazil and abroad, there are several options for renting vehicles. The important thing is for you to know in detail what you are contracting, your obligations and also if there is coverage in cases of unforeseen circumstances — such as, for example, getting stuck in the sands of a dune in a paradisiacal destination.

The excitement is great. We know. However, think that many times we don’t use all the clothes, shoes, and everything else that we carry in our luggage. And, often, there is not enough space for purchases and there is too much bill to pay the airline for overweight suitcases. In order not to have a headache, inquire with the airline and also find out what is the current legislation on the subject in the destination you have chosen. In addition to weight, save on packing your bags, and use and abuse tricks to gain space and practicality, such as using the space inside your shoes to store objects.

If you’re traveling abroad, never leave your home country without a little cash in the local currency. To do this, look for your bank, exchange offices, brokers or other institution authorized to operate in exchange by the Central Bank. If you prefer, you can purchase a prepaid card. Another tip is to enable your credit card for international purchases. To do this, go to your bank and inform which country you are going to and the period of travel. Attention: if possible, only use your credit card in emergency cases.

Certainly there are several essential objects for a trip. Among them are the plug adapter, since each country has a specific model (and you are complaining about our three-pin plug). If you have a camera that does Upload of photos to some remote storage system (cloud), great. Otherwise, invest in at least one good extra memory card so you don’t miss any moment of your vacation.
