To ensure a smooth international journey, gather necessary documents such as a valid passport, appropriate visa, return or onward ticket, and yellow fever vaccination certificate (if required). For comprehensive coverage, consider travel health insurance. Additionally, depending on your specific itinerary, you might need travel permits, health certificates, or student visas.

To stay safe while traveling, research your destination, protect your belongings, avoid showing off valuables, be aware of your surroundings, register with the embassy, and ensure your travel insurance covers theft.
