When thinking of the items you are going to take with you on your trip, think about what the weather will be like. You can check how the weather has been in the region for the past week and also look at the forecast. Just make sure you take precautions if necessary, so you won't be caught off guard, if the weather decides to change.

Before departing on a trip, the wise traveler makes sure at least one person back home knows where he will be. This "home base" contact should also be updated with any unplanned changes the traveler encounters on the way. Someone who knows where a traveler is - and where they should be - can be a great help in the case of trouble on the road.

Take a good book with you to read when traveling. If you always have something interesting to do, you will be less likely to get frustrated or bored during layovers and other time delays that are beyond your control. Buy a new title that you have been wanting to read so that you have something to look forward to. 

When travelling out of the country, make sure someone back home has a detailed copy of your itinerary. Make sure they know where you'll be staying and have a way to contact you in case of an emergency. This is also good on the off case that something happens to you they can find you.

If you are touring Europe, take advantage of their outstanding rail system. Instead of flying to each of your destinations, only fly into your first city and then hop on the train. Not only is it much more affordable, but by traveling overland, you are sure to get an amazing look at the area beyond your major city stops.
