So, I'm 22, never been overseas and really have no idea where to start.
Everything about it has me worried really, flights, currency, accommodation. Is a travel agent the best place to start or should I be trying to research these sorts of things for myself?
Any general advice or tips on anything travel are appreciated.
If its your first time then go with a travel agent for atleast organising your flights and schedule. Booking accommodation yourself isn't as hard if you have some time to research and you know what you want to see and which part of the cities you know you need to stay in.
Be prepared going through customs of any country, i got caught going through customs my very first time at San Francisco cause i forgot to fill out a part of the form and the officer held me up for about 5 minutes asking me all types of questions which in hindsight wasn't too bad but at the time i could of done without the stress as it was my first time and i just wanted to get out as quick as i could.
