Europe 2023

Here is a little bit of information for each destination of the trip!!

General Tips!

Make sure to check with your Cell provider – some plans like Verizon offers a plan with one free day international per paid month or you may think about getting a SIM card directly in Europe
Credit Cards – some require that you place a travel notice
Cash – I recommend changing Euro here to have $ when you get there
Enroll in STEP US Program - https://step.state.gov/step/
Download apps (airlines, etc)
Compression socks for the flight
If you have TSA or Global Entry, make sure that it is in your paper/electronic Boarding pass
Make sure to place your meds in the Carry-on
Maybe bring a Portable Charger Power Bank for your phone
If you are checking bags, make sure to pack a change of clothes in your carry-on
If you are arriving early at your destination and possible the room is not ready, make sure to set some items that
you can easily grab from your bag.
