8 Things to Do Before Traveling the World - Part 2
If you’ve all read part 1 of this, you’ll be quite prepared for working and traveling the world. Here are 4 more points that you should remember before traveling.
5) Keep a backup of all your important information either online or somewhere you can access while traveling but that’s not on your person.
You don’t want to lose all your itinerary and trip details, work documents, customer projects as well as all the phone numbers of your customers, travel agents, family etc in one go. But this can easily happen if your laptop and/or mobile phone is lost or broken.
There are many companies that provide secure online backup solutions, or if you have your own rented server somewhere you can upload stuff there.
6) Figure out how to handle those recurring events that require your signature.
You’ll still have to file your personal tax return, renew your insurance, etc. And if you’re a company there will be a lot more things to do, depending on the country your company is in you might have to file your annual general meeting, company tax return, audit, etc.
Can you do all that online? If not, get a secretarial firm to help you with the bulk of it.
7) Plan your trip.
Now that you’ve got everything ready it’s time to plan your trip. For a long trip this can be the most time consuming of these steps and I’ll write a post dedicated to just that.
Have an emergency backup plan.
What will you do if you fall ill in the middle of your trip? Do you have global insurance? Where will you fly to for treatment?
What about if you get robbed of your valuables? Do you know how to cancel all your credit cards? What will you do after that?
Shit happens, always have a backup plan. If your hotel is trustworthy and they have a safe keep some money and credit cards there while out. Have emergency phone numbers of people you (or the doctors) can call if you fall sick.
And most importantly, be careful and have fun!
