πŸ’³ Budgeting for Volunteer Travel

Make your money go further in Cairo with smart travel cards and currency solutions.

Some countries require exact change for buses or trains.

πŸŽ’ Packing with Purpose

Carry a pen in your bag for customs forms and quick notes.

Use reef-safe sunscreen when swimming or diving.

  • Travel Off-Peak: Visiting during shoulder seasons means fewer crowds and lower prices.
  • Carry a Power Bank: Phones die fast when you’re navigating, taking photos, or translating. Keep a spare battery handy.
  • Use Offline Maps: Download maps ahead of time. Google Maps and Maps.me work well without internet.
