I do love traveling anywhere. I also love to take pictures from the places where I have traveled. However, it is enough to love travel and take pictures? Those are only few idea when we plan to travel. There are many things we need to prepare when traveling, 1) Where are you going? 2) Are the tickets and passport available already? 3) Light clothings to wear that could fit the climate of the place you're going so that there will be no excess baggage. 4) Don't forget the camera. 5) The toiletries. 6) The emergency medicines for travel: for pain, hyperacidity, hypermotility of the stomach, and something that concerns to dizziness during travel (hahahaha... I got out of the exact word to write). 7) Food and water just to alleviate hunger and thirst. There I gave 7 tips: what else should we consider when traveling? Let's make our guideline :)

*Learn a bit about the locals and a few phrases in the local language. *Don't forget to take battery chargers with you (or extra batteries if possible). *If possible, don't go alone. *The country you're visiting might have different electric outlets than your electrical appliances have - get an adapter! *Make sure your camera has enough memory. Better yet - take an extra memorycard with you. *Be aware of the dangers but don't go overly cautious and enjoy your travelling :)

This is a good tip. Thanks for the advice. I'd also like to add that when we make hotel (or accommodation) booking we should make sure that we confirm it. One time, I booked for a room in a hotel and they required me to re-confirm 24 hours before the date booked. I totally forgot to reconfirm and so I ended up losing the booking and I have to search for a vacant room in another place.

That's a pretty good list. One thing to add, would be to research a little about the place you're visiting. The important places to go. Hospital, police etc. It's better to be prepared. Also, a map would come in handy.
