The Basics
Here are the need-to-know facts about two of the most important aspects of travelling
In South America Spanish and Portuguese are the most common languages, so start brushing up now! You may also hear Dutch, Chinese and English depending on where you travel along with many indigenous languages, such as Quechua which is spoken in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile and more.
Exchange rates can differ across the various countries in South America. Bolivia and Peru are cheaper, whereas large cities in Brazil and Chile are more expensive. Look up exchange rates before you leave so you are not caught by surprise.
It is important to carry a lot of cash with you. Whilst this wouldnncies or get money from an ATM.
The Extras
To get around South America youader packed with old favourites and new reads, bring along a dictionary so you can work on your Spanish and pack a notebook and pen to record your travels.
If you have a birthday coming up in the months before you travel, why not ask for a photography class or course as a present? Investing in building your photography skills will make a huge difference to the images you capture whilst you are away and help you preserve some special memories.
The Safety
Pickpocketing is pretty common in South America, so investing in some high-quality anti-pickpocketing clothing is a great idea, especially if you are planning to take overnight bus journeys where your belongings might be vulnerable. The company Clever Travel Companion is a good place to start.
Whether you buy pickpocket-proof clothing or not you should take out backpacker travel insurance to cover your valuables in case of theft, so you can be assured that if you are a victim of pickpocketing it wonan sorry.
Now you are fully prepared for your South America trip, all you need to do is book the flights and get ready to start making memories.
