Pre-trip packing checklist

Power

• Pack a Type G plug adapter.
• Check if single-voltage devices need a converter (230V).

Health & safety

• Bring a refillable bottle — tap water is generally safe.
• Save the emergency number 999 / 112 in your phone.
• Arrange travel insurance and note your policy number.

Money & customs

• Get some local currency (Pound Sterling (GBP, £)) or a card that works abroad.
• Review local tipping customs so you neither over- nor under-tip.

Getting around

• If you'll drive, traffic keeps to the left here.
• Confirm visa / entry requirements with the official authority before you go.
• Sort out a local SIM or roaming (country code +44).
