Over the last few months, there have been a number of unexpected trips that have taken place, and I’m looking forward to going someplace I’ve been meaning to go for as long as I can remember in the next few weeks. My last trip abroad was about a year ago, so my travel finesse has gotten a little rusty since then.

While planning my next trip, some important items came to my mind that I seem to have forgotten. I wrote down my Top 15 Questions right away when I started planning for my next vacation abroad.

1. Will there be a language barrier?
2. Is early check-in possible?
3. How far is the main attraction from my accommodation?
4. Is taxi or Uber available?
5. Are there any public holidays happening during the days I plan to visit?
6. Where are the nearest public restrooms?
7. Where is the nearest airport?
8. Are there cheaper airports to fly into? Is it worth it?
9. Is the place safe for solo travelers?
10. Things to do besides the obvious? What about when it rains?
11. What time are the regular business hours of operation in this city?
12. Do I need a visa?
13. What are the must see places or attractions?
14. Do I need a voltage converter?
15. What’s the currency difference?
