I’m going on my first overseas trip with my girlfriend since we started dating. I worked hard all last year to earn and save money for this trip. It will be our first international trip ever, and I want to make it perfect, memorable, and the best trip of our lives.

I’ve read countless articles online to ensure everything is perfect. It felt overwhelming to the point that my head started to hurt. Fortunately, I found an article that provided a detailed guideline, and it seemed like the perfect guide. My girlfriend and I have been following it, and it has been very helpful so far.

However, I decided to come to this community to seek additional guidance, advice, and tips from you all, just in case the article missed something important. My girlfriend and I would greatly appreciate any travel tips, advice, and guidance you have, as this is our first trip abroad together.

    Above EVERYTHING ELSE!!!

    DON’T EXPECT IT TO GO PERFECTLY!!

    No matter what you plan and budget, something will probably go wonky. Hopefully, it’s nothing major, but no matter what, IT WON’T RUIN YOUR TRIP. HOW THE TWO OF YOU DEAL WITH IT, DETERMINES IF YOU’LL HAVE A GREAT TIME.

    sorry for the yelling. I just thought it was a very important perspective to share.

        Every great vacation story starts with how something went horribly wrong.

        If your vacation goes as perfectly as you imagined it, you’re probably missing out!
