packing sweaters and coats for a hot country or T-shirts and shorts for a cold one. Check the local climate before you leave. In addition, think carefully about how much you pack in your bags. It's easy to take too many clothes and then not have enough space for souvenirs. But make sure you pack essential's. What
about money? Well, it's a good idea to take some local currency with you but not too much. There

them than change your cash in banks. When you are at your destination, other travellers often have
