3. what if my flight gets cancelled?!
Yes, these things happen. When your flight gets cancelled quickly rationalise
how gravely it affects your travel plans. But, think positive here! Panic is the
worst adviser. Don’t worry – you are safe, eventually you will get there and in the
meantime list your five favorite people you miss a lot you can call and chat to
with all that extra time at the airport.

4. what if I forget something?!
Don’t panic! If you forgot something, chances are you can pick that
item somewhere on the way. But first rationalise how the lack of this
item will affect your life on the road. If it makes it unbearable or life TWEET THIS TIP
threatening – have someone send it to you! Hint: It’s always good to
leave keys to your apartment with someone you trust.

5. what if my flight is oversold?!
There is no law that prevents overselling! In the case of an oversold flight, airlines search for
volunteers that are willing to give their seat up in exchange for a voucher for another flight
and some compensation. Think twice before you fight like a lion for that seat. It can turn out
that staying somewhere with a bit of extra spending money is still OK.

6. what if my luggage gets lost?!
Having your luggage lost in some ways is similar to a cancelled flight. Always make sure
to have bare essentials in your cabin luggage and remember that as unpleasant it is, it is
also not the end of the world. Plan like Tom Hanks CASTAWAY character. It’s your time to
prove you are truely creative when it comes to looking fab with one t-shirt only.

7. what if I get lost?!
First of all who said getting lost is a bad thing – take a moment to discover the
city like no other traveler! Getting lost is all about getting of the beaten track.
Chances are you are not in the middle of the Amazon Jungle or Sahara Desert,
so don’t panic and enjoy. And if you want to make sure you get where you want
to in the end – use the TeleportMe app, that will get you straight there.

8. what if I run out of money?!
First of all – you have probably traveled before and most likely you’ve never really went totally
broke. So stop obsessing about being pennyless in a foreign country. Put away some extra
cash, just in case, deep down in your luggage, have a credit card ready and remember that in
worst case scenario you have wonderful friends and family who can transfer some money over.

9. what if I am late?!
There’s one rule about planning that I love and that takes a lot of stress of being late. It’s the
60/40 rule. 40% of your time should be dedicated to unplanned things. Don’t plan tight
schedules thinking all the things will go as planned. And If you miss the flight, bus or train
instantly try the “polyanna mode”. Think of good things that can become of it. Don’t obsess
over something that cannot be changed.

10. what if I get sick?!
If you get sick, you will be sick – and taken care of as you were wise enough
to have insurance and some essential meds. And remember that 112 is a
valid emergency number in most countries you travel to.

11. what if I have problems on the border?!
Remember – in most cases people have problems at the border because they
forget the basics. And you are not like those people. Make sure your passport
is valid, check visa requirements, don’t smuggle drugs and exotic animals and
forget about carrying that huge bazooka onboard. Also check out what you can
bring into the country you are traveling to.

12. what if I don’t like it?!
Well… that’s a possibility. No one can guarantee you that you will have a good time. I personally
believe that the key lies in the attitude you have. If you stay positive, you most probably will enjoy
your stay.Try to make the most of it, not the worst of it.YOU ARE THERE and it’s up to you how you
feelTHERE.And if it’s so horribly boring and horrid – write a short story about it.

13. hello fellow traveler
Travel World Passport has been created by people hungry to discover the world. We built the best
tools for you to save and share travel memories. The project was born out of search for inspiration.
While we appreciate the satisfaction exploration brings, we have a strong conviction that when
looking for true inspiration, we often find it difficult to come acrosss true gems – information
available online is scattered and often inaccessible.
The most valuable and remarkable travel inspiration and information is available on travel blogs,
but for those who do not follow them on a regular basis it is hard to keep track of. Our mission is to
gather the most valuable, relevant and useful travel content in one place, where it is indexed and
easily searchable.
For those, who are not satisfied with the way travel content is being presented online our product
is a web framework to save and digest travel information around the stories of real travelers. It
provides the necessary inspiration and contains information to start your journey. Our belief is that
travel is about the feeling and the experiences, not the place. Those thoughts and beliefs are
reflected in all the aspects of our work. And that feeling inspires us to be free, travel and do great
things. We hope it will inspire you, too.
