. Buy travel insurance before your trip
A lot of people think that if I need to buy insurance for a few days, I rarely have anything, so I pay for it. However, if something unfortunate happens, the cost of medical and ambulance abroad is very high, then you do not have enough cash on hand, it will be very difficult to pay. And after returning home, the amount you have to pay is not small
In addition, you are late for your flight, lost your luggage, stolen….



Insurance will also pay in full. The cost of purchasing travel insurance compared to the total cost of the trip is very small, when you have problems you will find it really helpful.
2. Prepare the schedule and destination information carefully
If you travel abroad by yourself without tour companies, before going to a country you should have a specific schedule detailing what to do and what dates to do and basic information about history and literature. In order to avoid arrival, it will be very boring and do not understand the value of the destination.
In addition, you should prepare the hotline number, police number, rescue number where you go, and the hotline number for overseas Vietnamese, the insurance hotline.
You can save this information on your phone and write down a piece of paper to put in your wallet or backpack in case the phone is damaged or lost

Back up important papers
Before traveling abroad, you should scan important documents such as passport, visa, driver's license, travel insurance, SOS insurance ... then put it in your phone, upload email, dropbox or other means. you can access online.
When going on the road, all of the above papers are taken to make copies, stored in waterproof bags and stored in different places such as backpacks, suitcases. When going out, you should keep your passport, ATM card, money and important identification in a small pocket in your shirt.

This will limit theft and in case you lose your papers, there are still many places stored to report to the police, identify relatives, confirm your entry or in case you lose your passport, go to Dai. Vietnamese embassies in foreign countries, if that country does not have them, contact the Embassy in the nearest country to redo the passport.

Before traveling, you should send your loved one about the flight schedule, policy, and flight information. While going out, always let your loved ones know what time you plan to go. If you are going to a wilderness with few tourists and services, inform the hotel owner of the time you plan to return, who you are buying the tour from or who your tour guide is.

Preserving money
Do not bring all cash used during the trip, instead bring an ATM card, credit card. ATM cards and cash are also divided into many places, stored in the body, stored in a backpack.
You do not need to change money for the full amount required in Vietnam. You should only exchange a small amount enough to use at the airport, buy a phone sim, buy food and drinks, order a taxi. Then you can withdraw money at an ATM or exchange it to the currency of that country will get a better rate. We should not change too much each time to prevent theft.
