The useful travel checklist
A short reusable list is more reliable than remembering everything again.
Open note
Keep documents, charging equipment, medication and offline copies of important addresses together in one checklist.

Keeping files findable

Open note
Photograph signs, streets, shop windows and transport details, not only the landmarks that already appear in every guide.
