Tipsy's Travel Tips

Planning is super boring, but sometimes it'll save your tail!

✈️ Tipsy McSockerson’s Top 27 Pre-Travel Checklist for Traveling Abroad! 🐒🍸🌍

  • 🧳 Pack enough underwear for your trip… then add 3 more pairs. Trust me. Pick up some underwear here: Ladies and Gentlemen

  • 🐒 Bring a travel buddy (ideally someone who knows how to read maps, speak a language, and bail you out if necessary).

  • 📖 Double-check your passport isn’t expired — unless you enjoy an awkward chat with airport security.

  • 💰 Notify your bank that you’re traveling — they get suspicious when you suddenly buy flaming cocktails in Bangkok.

  • 💉 Check if you need any vaccines — rabies is a real mood killer.

  • 🍸 Download a translation app, or bring a language phrase book specific to your destination. — knowing how to order “one more round” is critical cultural immersion.

  • 📄 Print your itinerary, or at least scribble it on a cocktail napkin for reference.

  • 💵 Have some local cash — some places don’t accept sock monkey IOUs.

  • 📲 Set up an international phone plan — or prepare to survive off sketchy Wi-Fi at bars.

  • 🛂 Make copies of your passport and ID — especially after the 4th mojito.

  • 🍔 Learn how to say “Where’s the nearest food?” in the local language.

  • 🏥 Pack a small first aid kit — Band-Aids and aspirin, because you never know when adventure (or tequila) strikes.

  • 🧴 Bring travel-sized toiletries — even the fanciest hotel can’t save you from Monkey Breath.

  • Don’t forget your jaunty cap — it’s essential for making friends and confusing customs officials.

  • 🕺 Download some tunes — spontaneous dance parties can happen anywhere, even airport bathrooms.

  • 🧷 Bring a travel sewing kit — sometimes even monkeys lose a button or two.

  • 📸 Back up your photos — your phone can survive a lot, but not a dive into the Mediterranean.

  • 🍾 Research local drinks — respect the regional booze and it will respect you back.

  • 🗺️ Write down the address of your hotel — “That place with the door” won’t cut it at 2 AM.

  • 👀 Pack an eye mask and earplugs — because your neighbors might snore like walruses.

  • 🌍 Learn a few local customs — you don’t want to accidentally insult someone’s grandma.

  • 📦 Leave room in your suitcase for souvenirs — and emergency snacks.

  • ✉️ Tell someone where you’re going — just in case you become King of a small island and forget to call home.

  • 🏥 Buy travel insurance — because nothing says “adventure” like needing a cast in Croatia.

  • 🍹 Create a booze bucket list — you’ve got to honor Tipsy McSockerson’s legacy, after all.

  • 🗣️ Practice your “I meant to do that” face — it’s useful when you trip over cobblestones or accidentally sit on a royal cat.

  • 🧭 Trust your gut — if something feels sketchy, it probably is (unless it’s a taco stand at 3 AM, then you just roll the dice).
