There are many avoidable mistakes people make when traveling. Here is a list of some of the things that you should check for BEFORE planning, or use a travel advisor to help you navigate.

Have all travel documents needed to travel to your destination READY in a place you can easily access them. A small travel pouch you keep on your person is a great idea. A good travel agent will make sure you know what you need! Check that passport expiration date - some places require a passport to have an expiration date months after your anticipated travel dates.
