· If you are taking presents for friends and family, pack them in a soft suitcase, which can then be packed flat in your own case when returning home.

· If you are visiting a country where the language is not English, write down the name of your hotel clearly to give to taxi drivers or get somebody to write the address out for you.

· Do your homework before you travel. The more informed you are the easier you will find things. Besides it is interesting to read about new countries and destination.
