Please ensure that you pack these items and make them secured in your bag.

Identification: Do have your passport and state ID/ driver’s license. If your travel requires a visa, get it in advance.

Money: Having two different credit cards is always a good choice for cases where one doesn’t work abroad.

Also, carrying a little cash would be better for your exploration.

Medication: As per your planned trip, bring enough medications for the days you will be traveling, plus an extra few for any unexpected delays.
