Belle,

I’m based in Canada so I’m not sure. Assuming you don’t, you only need to pay like $5 a month to get a Canadian number.

KC,

Yikes, I remember when I was stopping in Lucerne for about 8 hours during one of my first Europe trips. My brother and I withdrew $100 thinking it would be enough money to get us food for the day. Well after two pastries and drinks, and then lunch at pizza place; we had about $3 left. Fortunately, dinner was included at our hotel.

My husband and I went down to the east coast where we discovered very quickly how many places were closed after labour day which resulted in us buying high-priced yucky food from those run-down general stores. We spent $50 for lunch (we skipped breakfast due to no places open in a 3-hour radius) until we could get to the nearest town where there was a grocery store. To make matters worse was that their debit machine was down so we barely had enough cash to cover this. Hard lesson learned and now we always keep a few boxes of granola bars and some fruit in the car in case we run into this situation again. It also stressed the importance of always keeping at least $100 in cash split between us. Cash is king in remote areas!

Hi Anum,

Yes I always double check visas too. Sometimes they can be a bit confusing as you may be forced to get it in advance from a consulate or tourism office.

I agree that visa requirements are important to check beforehand. My brother recently visited Canada without double checking (since Koreans are visa exempt) but they had recently changed the rules so couldn’t get on the flight (thus wasting his non-refundable ticket). This article is also timely for me, since I’m planning on traveling through Thailand next week!
