#1 Pocket USB
A small pocket USB power bank has been the best investment ever when traveling. Also, don't delete from your phone/throw away your boarding passes before entering your destination. I've seen border security ask for them.
#2 Travel Light
I travel internationally one to three times a month, and the two best tips I have are: Travel light. Don't bring "just in case" items. Plan to buy them at your destination if you really need them, which you don't.
And also, get a phone plan that allows free data roaming (for example, T-mobile in the U.S., 3 Mobile in Europe). Having a working phone is a game changer and makes basically every aspect of travel easier.
Bonus tip: two inflatable pillows (one for the neck, one for the low back), an eye mask, and ear plugs make a HUGE difference sleeping on a plane.
#3 Keep Soft Copies
Do your research. Pack light. Keep soft copies of important travel documents in your phone and cloud storage. Get a universal adapter and a power bank.
