🎒 Preparation for Night Walks – Grace & Readiness

Always pack a spare outfit in your carry-on in case your luggage is delayed.

Choose eco-certified hotels or guesthouses that support sustainability.

• Carry a Power Bank: Phones die fast when you’re navigating, taking photos, or translating. Keep a spare battery handy.
• Stay Hydrated: Carry a reusable water bottle. Many destinations have refill stations, which saves money and reduces plastic waste.
• Stay Alert in Traffic: In some countries, traffic rules are loosely followed. Cross streets with care.

> Bring a light, a prayer, and an open heart — fear fades before faith.
