After more than 20 years and close to 50 countries together, Doug and I share the actual routine we follow before every international trip. Not a generic list, just the 10 things that keep us organised, connected and confident.

• Booking your airport transfer in advance
• eSIMs and VPNs, sorted before you leave home
• The apps we download before we fly
• Travel insurance and why it matters more than you think
• Visas and entry requirements without the overpriced sites
• Wise cards, cash and your currency strategy
• Cultural etiquette and a few useful words
• Staying scam aware and choosing the right bag
• Checking the weather and packing in layers
• What to book in advance, and what to leave free
