In this article A step-by-step guide for first-time travelers abroad We offer you a way to feel more comfortable, confident, and prepared in the end.
1. Determine your travel purpose
(The most important step for those going abroad for the first time)
Ask yourself this question before you start planning your trip. What do I expect from this trip?
- To rest?
- To see new cultures?
- First time experiencing a foreign country?
- Traveling alone?
The answer to this question determines the choice of country, budget, and travel duration.
2. Choosing the right country for those going abroad for the first time
Countries with very complex and strict rules are not recommended for a first trip.
Ideal countries for a first trip:
It could be Georgia, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Czech Republic.
Because these countries:
✔ tourist friendly
✔ The transportation system is convenient
✔ language barrier is minimal
✔ Suitable for beginners
3. Passport and visa issues
(it looks scary, but don't worry, it's simple)
Many people dread their first trip because of this part.
Remember:
- For Azerbaijani citizens There are countries you can go to without a visa. You can start there.
- In visa-requiring countries, the process is carried out step by step.
Main documents:
- Foreign passport
- Hotel and flight reservations
- Insurance
- Document showing financial status
If you gather the documents correctly, the process is much easier than you think. We can also support you in these matters.
4. Budget planning for your first trip
The biggest source of stress is the question "will there be enough money?".
It is recommended to divide the budget as follows:
✈️ Flight ticket
🏨 Hotel or home expenses
🍽️ Food
🚕 Transportation
🎟️ Entertainment and entrance fees
💳 Reserve amount
For first-time travelers, a “mid-range” budget is always more comfortable.

On their first trip, people either take too much or forget what is more important.
The absolute musts:
- Passport + copy
- Phone, charger, powerbank
- Comfortable shoes
- Minimal clothing (combined)

The first day is always a little nervous. That's normal.

- Very busy schedule
- The "I have to see" mentality everywhere
- Ignoring local culture
Don't feel like you're in a race when you travel. The main thing is not to see a lot of places, but to enjoy the journey, relax, and experience.
8. What changes after the first trip?
People often say: "I wish I had started sooner..."“
