If all else fails, you can also download the Google Translate app onto your phone. This will help you communicate with the locals overseas, even if you’re not at all familiar with their native language.
Make sure you have the right electrical plugs
Here in the United States, we use Type A and Type B plugs. Though many other countries, especially those outside of the Americas, have their own plug types.
Researching the plugs of your destination and making sure you have these packed before your flight leaves is important.
If push comes to shove, some airports abroad may have various plug adapters. However, it’s always best to bring your own, rather than running the risk of not being able to charge your devices while abroad.
