How can I keep my clothes clean when packing shoes in my suitcase?

I recommend you wrap your shoes in a bag in your suitcase to keep them separated from your clothes. You can also bring a bag to separate out clothes that need laundering or have gotten wet on your vacation.

Where should I put my important documents while traveling?

I recommend you put all of your important documents inside a clear plastic folder or envelope while you're traveling so you don't have to worry about forgetting or misplacing something. You should also keep your proof of vaccines and medical conditions in this folder.

How do I book a flight ticket?

Book your tickets strategically. International flights are cheapest about two months out, while domestic ones fluctuate a lot until about a month in advance when the cost spikes. Monitor the prices and book when they're lowest!
