No matter how much experience you have with international travel, venturing to a foreign country can be stressful. If you’re attending an important professional conference, you might be even more nervous about your upcoming journey.
Fortunately, whether you’re intending to stay for only a couple of days or you’re turning this into a bigger, more comprehensive trip, there are some strategies that can help you better manage your international travel.
Learn Both the Language and the Culture
If you’re traveling to a country that speaks a different language, it’s a good idea to spend at least some time learning that language. You don’t have to become bilingual in the months leading up to your trip, but if you know even a handful of common phrases, greetings and words, you’ll be much more capable of managing your trip (and you’ll make a better impression with the locals as well).
