It’ll bring you totally up to speed with laws, threats and customs.
Register your trip on the site to be inboxed free email updates about unexpected stuff that might occur. You can even register your group of friends together.
This puts you one step ahead if you need the assistance of the Australian Embassy where you’re visiting.
Get some travel insurance too!!! The prepay-per-day-product at Australia Post could suit your needs. If anything goes pear-shaped, get a police report cos your travel insurer will want that.
Write down a few must-have phone numbers and pop these inside your passport. Because a phone that’s fallen in the pool isn’t much help.
Don’t give your Passport over easily. Jet-ski hirers don’t need to hold on to it while you hire their speed machine – go elsewhere. I SAID ? They don’t.
✈? BUT THOSE AREN’T PILLS
? If you’re carrying anything more serious than Panadol, might be best to grab a Doctor’s letter about it. And keep it in the original packaging.
While you’re at the Doctor, confirm injections you might need for your destination ?
And when you’re abroad, if you think your friend needs a Doctor, they probably do. See the Hotel staff immediately!
✈? MAKE SURE THE BOUNCERS WILL LET YOU IN (…TO THE COUNTRY!!!)
Is your passport valid for at least 6 months after your return? This is worth checking. I SAID ? Check It.
✈? TOOT TOOT!
Unless you’ve ridden motorbikes for years, schoolies overseas probably isn’t the right time to start.
✈? CATFIGHTS & BRAWLING ?
Don’t let a disagreement with the girls get outta hand. A catfight or fistycuffs between mates could land you in boiling hot water.
Like I’m talking days or weeks in a mean adult prison while they investigate.
So just walk away ✅
✈? AVOID PRISON STRIPES ?
Yep, the laws of the country you’re hitting definitely apply to you and there’s no easy way out once you’re in hot water.
Definitely don’t want a mark against your future travel options or job prospects.
Getting caught with drugs is bad as, like I’m talking life imprisonment or death – even pot attracts lengthy jail sentences – in adult prisons! It’s no place to be when your mates are in deep at O-Week next March.
✈? THINK DRINK
So what’s the legal age for drinking where you’re visiting? Just check!
They might pour them stronger where you’re going, so take care. No-one wants to get injured, robbed or punched up early in the night (or late!!!)
If you think your drink has been spiked, it probably has. Dump it baby.
✈? FALLEN KINGDOM
Crowd crushes, balcony collapses and nightclub fires absolutely happen.
Get outta there if your instinct tells you it looks sketchy ✅
And that’s it so now you’re set for a rockstar Schoolies abroad ??️???
