Always bring enough extra medication should you get stuck in a county longer than expected.
Make emotion-free decisions – take your time to work through the decision.
Air miles and similar points programs don’t always ticket right away.
Ask questions or help from any travel Facebook groups that you might be a part of.
In a lockdown situation if you can get out of any hostels and book an Airbnb with cooking facilities.
