Oh your poor Mum! That sounds like such a stressful situation Greta! I hope the airline was understanding?

Agh yes I know what you mean Rowena! And you get hit with ALL the charges and end up with random foreign cash you have no need for!

Oh no! Banking issues overseas are so stressful and awful! I had issues in London a few months ago withdrawing money – my balance was debited but the cash never came out and I had to wait 10 hours for the bank to open and phoning them cost a packet too with roaming. Hope you can be better prepared in the future 🙂

I forgot to tell my bank once, and my credit card got locked 🙁 Adaptors are super important too, and I forgot about them… Wish I read this post sooner <3

The worst thing is to be at the airport having spent all your cash and then having to pay more ATM fees just so you can leave.

Some seem obvious but it’s surprising how many times you just don’t think about it! Like the time my mum showed up at the airport with an expired passport, we had to postpone the flight to the day after and she had to get an emergency renewal. Was pretty stressful!

Absolutely! You’d hope that would never happen to anyone – what a nightmare.

Thanks Ruth! Man I am never that organised to think about what happens to my mail or ensure the clothes I need are washed… note to self for next time!

Oh WOW Sherri your sister was so lucky!! My Uncle did something similar when he was flying overseas to meet his partner who was in Australia for work. Expensive mistake by itself but it also meant she did lots of extra shopping as she was by herself in Melbourne for several days haha

They are all great and so essential before going on any trip! The visa requirements are so important, otherwise you might not be able to enter the country and are sent back home immediately!
