Here are some tips for traveling:

• • Pack light: Test the weight of your packed bag by wearing it around for a day or two. 
     
  • Pack healthy snacks: Pack snacks to keep with you on the plane and while you're traveling. 
     
  • Dress comfortably: Wear loose, breathable layers. 
     
  • Make copies of important documents: Scan and save copies of your passport, driver's license, and other important documents online. 
     
  • Get travel insurance: Trip cancellation and interruption insurance can help reimburse you for covered losses. 
     
  • Avoid touristy restaurants: Look for restaurants with a short, handwritten menu in the local language. 
     

• Only bring a carry-on: Carry-ons are easier to maneuver through public transit and city spaces, and you won't have to worry about lost luggage. 
   

• Use packing cubes: Packing cubes help separate items and keep your suitcase neat.
