Get a full medical checkup before departure. Many countries require health insurance—it covers doctor visits, emergencies, and more. Keep your health reports and insurance documents handy.
Emergency Contact Info

Make a list of key contacts: family, university, embassy, local emergency numbers. Save it in your phone and keep a printed copy in your luggage.

International SIM or Roaming Plan
Stay connected by getting an international SIM or activating a roaming plan. Pre-ordering a local SIM can save costs and ensure you have internet as soon as you land.
