Problems and Solutions: While traveling a problem may occur, think about those problems and how you would solve them.
It's always good to know some of the current language in the country you're going to so learn some of the basics and maybe get a translate app on your phone (make sure it's a good one too). Once you do that then if you lose something or need to find a restaurant or other place then you can ask someone for help.
