First time travelers tips for planning
1. Invest in good equipment
If you are going to multiple places, a good backpack that fits you well and a good, comfortable pair of shoes will be your two most important investments before you leave home. If you’re going to splurge somewhere, splurge on these two essentials.

2. Purchase travel insurance


Look, no one wants to spend money on travel insurance for international travel. But do it anyway. Trust me on this one.


3. Plan your budget carefully


I highly recommend checking out my article on planning your travel budget, where I go into much greater detail, but a good rule of thumb is to plan your backpacking expenses as carefully as you can, then bring twice as much money as you’ll think you need.


About money
Money is any item or medium of exchange that is accepted by people for the payment of goods and services, as well as the repayment of loans. Money makes the world go 'round. Economies rely on money to facilitate transactions and to power financial growth. Typically, it is economists who define money, where it comes from, and what it's worth. Here are the multifaceted characteristics of money.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


  • Money is a medium of exchange; it allows people and businesses to obtain what they need to live and thrive.

  • Bartering was one way that people exchanged goods for other goods before money was created.

  • Like gold and other precious metals, money has worth because for most people it represents something valuable.

  • Fiat money is government-issued currency that is not backed by a physical commodity but by the stability of the issuing government.

  • Above all, money is a unit of account - a socially accepted standard unit with which things are priced.

Medium of Exchange


Before the development of a medium of exchange—that is, money—people would barter to obtain the goods and services they needed. Two individuals, each possessing some goods the other wanted, would enter into an agreement to trade.
Early forms of bartering, however, do not provide the transferability and divisibility that makes trading efficient. For instance, if someone has cows but needs bananas, they must find someone who not only has bananas but also the desire for meat. What if that individual finds someone who has the need for meat but no bananas and can only offer potatoes? To get meat, that person must find someone who has bananas and wants potatoes, and so on.
The lack of transferability of bartering for goods is tiring, confusing, and inefficient. But that is not where the problems end; even if the person finds someone with whom to trade meat for bananas, they may not consider a bunch of bananas to be worth a whole cow. Such a trade requires coming to an agreement and devising a way to determine how many bananas are worth certain parts of the cow.
