    Good to see someone do something as simple as this, people need to know the basics and generally not covered. I got caught out by the global roaming charges, I knew it would be a tad expensive but not as bad as it was calling back to Aus from Cambodia, never again, get a local sim. Again thanks.

    Also food for thought: you can port your US number to google voice(costs a one time fee of $20 dollars I think though) if you are gonna be gone for a longer period of time but still want your US number when you return. I have mine just linked to my gmail and can still send/receive texts from that number while abroad. Doesn't cost anything for me or anyone who texts me. Phone calling won't work on it though, but the texting is nice. You can always port the number back to whatever carrier you want when you return! I think google maps offline maps also will reroute you if you miss a turn or something, so handy!

    Expanding a little on comment 14; I would learn how to count to ten in the foreign language. I might add point 15: Be polite and respectful to people in foreign countries. A version of this could be "When in Rome do as the Romans do." Respect other people and their cultures in their country; this should be obvious.

    Good Advice (Although do they even make non chip/pin cards anymore?) One thing I would say is see if your Bank has a reciprocal agreement with banks in the country you are going to. For example Scotiabank/Tangerine here in Canada I can use my card at Westpac in Aus/NZ or Barclays in the UK ect. and there are no fees.

You can also share that folder with family members.

      Yes, Polish currency is called the złoty. łodz is also not pronounced "loads" it is "woods" since the ł makes a "wuh" sound. I still don't know what number combination to press to make the ł. ¿ (alt+168 for Spanish interrogation marks) σ (alt+229, etc. can be used for Greek Letters) é (alt+130) «Alt+430 and alt+431 are used for French quotation marks.» If you don't learn to speak the language, at least learn the basic layout of the city or country you are visiting. ç (alt+135)

    Be sure to go to your bank and get an ATM card. Leave your Debit Card at home - ITS NOT A CREDIT CARD!!!!!! While at the bank delink your checking account from your savings account and leave only enough money in your checking account to take care of petty cash requirements. That's so if thieves somehow get access to your ATM card they cant get any more money than whats in your checking account.Also when overseas you a little common sense. If there is an area, street district of a city you wouldn't go into at a nearby city then why in the world would you go into a similar area in a foreign country! The result will be the same plus a ruined vacation.
