Mark One Travel offers general travel tips for an international traveler.

• Ensure that your passport is not about to expire and check your visa status with regard to the country you're going to visit.
  
  
• Many countries require a visa for entry, so ensure you apply in advance, so your application can be processed and you receive your visa document well in time.
  
  
• Make sure you know the contact numbers or address of your country's embassy or consulate, in the country you're going to visit. If you lose your passport or face any problems, do contact your embassy immediately.
  
  
• While traveling, it is safer to carry your money in the form of Travelers Cheques. Your Visa card, Mastercard or American Express Credit Card are also likely to be accepted across the world.
  
  
• Make photocopies of all your important documents and keep these separately. In case your original documents are lost, your photocopies will help in the process of issuing new ones.
  
  
• If you normally take prescription medication, carry enough medication to see you through your trip.
  
  
• Check what are the vaccinations required before you visit any country and ensure you get these done. A general medical check up is also a good idea.
  
  
• Check what are the common food preparations in the country you're going to visit, in case you suffer from food allergies and need to take care to avoid these.
  
  
• Check what are the customs regulations in your country and the country you're going to visit. Find out whether you are prohibited from transporting any items, like ancient art, food items etc.
  
  
• It helps to familiarize yourself with the local language. Knowing even a few basic phrases can be very useful and can make local residents more friendly and eager to help you.
  
  
• Check what the weather is like in the country where you're going and pack your clothing accordingly.
  
  
• Its best to travel with minimal baggage.
  
  
• Ensure your luggage is clearly marked to make it easier to identify on airport carousels, for a quicker checkout.
  
  
• While packing, make a list of essential items, such as clothing, personal care items, documents etc if you're on a business trip, and check that you've got everything before closing your case.
  
  
• Remember to carry extra rolls of film for a normal camera, or memory cards for a digital camera, batteries for all appliances, and adaptor plugs for mobile phones, laptops and other equipment.
  
  
• Gather some information about the country you're going to visit, to ensure you are aware of local customs, the tourist attractions, politics and business culture.
  
  
• Check that your flight is on time and leave with enough time to spare, for check in and security formalities.
