Young Travellers Checklist
- Get Insurance. It can happen to you, so
take out insurance. Make sure it’s comprehensive and covers you for
medical and repatriation costs as well as any dangerous sports or activities.
- Have Local Knowledge. Read up on local laws and customs to avoid offending
people or breaking local laws, however unwittingly. Check out the FCO Travel
Advice. Tel: 0870 606 0290.
- Check Visas. Ensure you have the correct visas. If you plan to work outside
of the EU, obtain a valid work permit before you go.
- Gap year placements. Many organisations charge alot of money to arrange
gap year placements. Before you sign any documentation or hand over any money,
make sure that you have adequately researched the organisation(s) involved.
Use our Know Before You Go Current Partners page to find links to gap year
companies.
- Be Health Aware. Check out what jabs and health care you need with your
GP at least six weeks before you set off. If you're going to have sex, remember
to stock up on condoms before you go and don’t take any risks with unprotected
sex, no matter how appealing it might seem at the time.
- Avoid Drugs. When it comes to drugs, be aware of the consequences. Using
drugs abroad can carry heavy penalties, including the death sentence; and
being a British citizen won’t get you out of jail.
- Be Careful with Alcohol. If you are going to drink alcohol, know your limit.
Accidents are more likely after using alcohol or drugs and as well as the
pain and embarrassment, you’re unlikely to be covered by your insurance.
- Be Vigilant. Stay aware of what is going on around you and keep away from
situations with which you do not feel comfortable. Be aware that drugs are
sometimes used in rape and once added to a drink they cannot normally be detected,
so try to keep your drink with you at all times.
- Take Care of your Belongings. Keep an eye on your belongings and lock valuables
away. Be careful when you’re out and about - the beach and crowded streets
are favourite places to catch you unawares. Make copies of your tickets, passport,
insurance policy (plus 24-hour emergency number), itinerary and contact details
and leave one at home – just in case.
- Take Enough Money. British consular staff can’t send you home for
free if you run out, so ensure you have a return ticket, or enough funds to
buy one.
- Keep in Touch. Consider taking a roam-enabled mobile phone with you and
use e-mail to keep in touch. Leave details of your travel itinerary with your
family and friends; tell them of any change of plan.
