It’s not often that someone who lives predominantly in a tropical climate gets to travel to a country with more than two seasons, but when you do, it’s an extraordinary occasion. Therefore everything has to be planned out and perfect. 

Traveling to a country during the winter has its challenges and a list of things to prepare for, especially for someone who has never been. 

Here are some things you need to know before you make your trip.

Winter Wear

The first thing you will need to prepare should be pretty obvious; winter clothing. Make sure you have ample clothing for the cold weather, as winter weather is often hard to predict. Make sure you have your coat or jacket, gloves, hats, and even long johns if you’re going somewhere far up north. 

Staying Healthy

Before your trip, ensure you're healthy and have all your medical needs, especially if you have allergies. Consult your doctor before you go.

Insurance

Before you go, preparing travel insurance is a good idea, as traveling can often be unpredictable and even dangerous.

Skincare

Cold weather can often cause dry skin. Therefore, be sure to pack your moisturizer and lip balm before you go.

Good Company

Last but not least, bring a friend! Holidays are best enjoyed with friends and family. It's the perfect occasion for bonding.
