holiday time PACKING ESSENTIALS #1

One of the biggest tips I can offer is ALWAYS take out travel insurance. After having my brother lose his wife overseas, if it was not for travel insurance to cover medical bills, travel back home etc. This time would have been more painful than it already was if they had not taken out travel insurance. 

Also register your travel details at smart traveller.
