I didn’t realize that I would spend most of 2022 traveling Europe and Asia until I was already 7 countries deep into my year. Even more, I didn’t expect that this trend would continue well into 2023 as well.

If you’ve read my first post, “6 International Travel Mistakes to Avoid” , then you already know how even the best planning can overlook certain blindspots. It’s easy to miss the big picture, and sometimes the “oh also that” picture, when we’re focused on the micro details.

Today, we are stepping back a bit, and I hope this article will help you avoid some common pitfalls in long term travel. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes, or at least make a mental note NOT to forget them.

If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment. I’ll happily respond to anyone on either!
