When traveling, what should you remember?

When traveling, you will often find yourself in situations without the ability to make informed decisions. Prepare to be flexible.

You might be stuck somewhere for hours, days, weeks, or even months. If you have a plan, you'll be able to provide food, water, shelter and a place to rest. If you don't have a plan, you might have to make do.

In these instances, you may need to rely only on what you are good at. That means taking quick decisions based only on intuition and experience.

Sometimes you just can't make a choice. You might find yourself in an area without cell service, out of gas or robbed. In those situations, you'll have to adapt quickly to whatever situation presents itself.

Keep calm, be focused, and take action. Don't panic. Instead, stay focused on what you have control of.

If you find yourself lost in the woods you can choose which way to go. Or if you're hungry, you can eat berries or mushrooms. You can also drink rainwater and melt snow if you feel thirsty.

Or if you're tired, you can rest. Wrap up warmly if it's cold. You can also change your clothes if you are wet. No matter what you do, it will make you feel better to stay positive.

What should you take on vacation?

Know what you want to do while on holiday. It's not just about packing clothes. Consider where you're going and how much time you'll be staying there.

You need to think about what activities you would like to participate in. For example, if you are going to an exotic destination, then you may want to try scuba diving. You may also be interested in participating in local festivals and events, especially if your stay is longer.

It is crucial that you inform the people responsible for your care if you have any health problems. They can then plan accordingly.

Do you ever worry about forgetting something when you travel?

Yes, I often forget stuff. This is more common when I go on a short trip. Fortunately, I always have everything, so I never run short of things.

For instance, I always carry my passport with me. When I buy tickets, I always ensure that I have enough cash.

Also, I always take my phone charger. A small bag is also handy for storing other items.
