1. Research your destination

Before your first trip, it is important to do your research. This will help you to know what to expect and how to plan for your trip. Here are some things to research before your first trip:

-The safety of your destination. This will help you to be aware of any risks and take steps to stay safe while traveling.

2. Make a packing list

Assuming you're starting from scratch, these are some essential items you'll need for your first trip:
-A backpack or suitcase
-Clothes for the weather of your destination
-Shoes
-Toiletries including a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.
-Medications
-Any electronics you might need such as a laptop, phone, camera, etc. and their chargers
-A notebook and pen
-A map of the area
-Cash and/or traveler's checks

3. Find out the currency situation

Assuming you're going on a trip abroad, the first thing you need to do is find out what the currency situation is. Do some research online or talk to your travel agent to find out what the currency is in your destination country and whether or not it's easy to get. You don't want to be stuck in a foreign country without any money!
